In my city, the ambulance service is run by a private contractor, but the city government offers ambulance insurance to residents. It's included on my monthly water/sewer/trash bill and costs about four dollars a month.…
I am not a fan of what's being done to the Department of Education, but the linked article states nothing about anyone's payments increasing 4x. Also, the 41% is in reference to the default rate in the 1980s when…
I can find courts in Oklahoma by entering "Oklahoma" in the search box and selecting Oklahoma from the dropdown menu. Are you not getting the dropdown? It sometimes takes a few seconds for it to appear after you enter…
One of the reasons we've used it for centuries is that in the days before treated water it was safer to drink. Microbes in water had the potential to make you very sick or even kill you. Even today, if you're traveling…
They scaled back at one store only. This hardly seems like a trend. The Wal-Mart near my house just finished a major remodel this month, and they increased the number of self-checkout stands and cut down on the number…
Gumroad might work for you. They take a flat 10% fee.
While I'm pro-union in general, not all unions are equal. Some are powerful. Some are weak. Back in the 1990s I worked part-time for a unionized grocery store chain and was a member of the UFCW. There were four contract…
There are several license plates missing from Oklahoma. A quick glance shows that the Cherokee Nation and Pawnee Nation plates aren't included. There may be others as well, but I didn't look beyond those two.
They're just not digitizing hit songs, they're digitizing forgotten artists and rare recordings. The Internet Archive is extremely valuable to music historians like myself in finding and understanding artists who have…
The website for one of my local news stations, the one I prefer for severe weather coverage, causes Firefox to freeze. That started happening a few months ago, so I now have to use Chrome to check the weather. And last…
I've been heavily using MuseScore 4 lately and haven't noticed that type of latency on the Linux AppImage. My only gripe with 4 is the inability to open multiple scores in tabs. It opens them in separate windows…
Cool Worlds did a great piece on this a few weeks ago. It's worth watching if you have an interest in this subject. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHgAcbpsujI

Google Books has issues of Billboard magazine dating back to 1942. It used to be valuable for research, but it's become much less so over the years. Currently, search results that return actual magazine issues are…
This reminds me of Lovecraft. His mythos was based on the premise that Earth has been inhabited by a series of alien and native civilizations, mostly malign, over the past billion years. Occasionally an artifact or part…
It's not a question of legal authority. It's a matter of if a company wants to do business in the EU, they have to follow EU laws. The EU isn't imposing laws on other countries. If a company does no business with EU…
I bought a 32-inch dumb TV just a couple of weeks ago. It was only $77US, on clearance at Walmart from $129US. The brand is Element, which I'm unfamiliar with, but it works nicely and has absolutely no smart…
The problem with moving away from SMS authentication is that not everyone in the world has a smartphone or is able to use something like a Yubikey. SMS is the lowest common denominator that allows most people in the…
