The mall guys and some of those I saw guarding places in more expensive neighborhoods may have been police, I'm admittedly not 100% not sure - but the building I worked in employed private security with rifles (it was a…
I've wanted one of the jets ever since I went over there - as soon as I'm out of an apartment, I'm putting them on any and every toilet in my home. I always kept some TP around, though, even when I was in places with…
"Watchmen and policemen are heavily, scarily equipped." This one amused me, as an American who has been to India (though not Pune, so maybe the area was different in this sense), because while I don't remember what…
The article and comments together are great, because all at once I have a newfound respect for the complexity of bowling (from the cores to the oil patterns) and yet am bolstered in the feeling that there is something…
"People [...] are less likely to become infected with the coronavirus if they have relatively high levels of virus-blocking antibodies..." This seems self-evident, really - 'virus-blockers help block the virus' hardly…
I think what really hurts, for me, is that this has become the general tone from Mozilla - whether the changes are ones I'd agree with or not. I remember back when the Spread Firefox campaign was still around - at the…
To throw on what others have said, if you've got a vehicle and drive at all frequently, it is fairly easy and inexpensive to install a CB radio in your vehicle. I've got one in my Subaru Legacy I stuck up by the…
The author notes that SQL has been around since, roughly, 1974 - but MultiValue Query Language/ENGLISH has been around since the the 60s. The choice is clear. /s
Still the case in Kroger's in the US - there's a few home brands: Private Selection (higher-end) Simple Truth (organic and "natural" products) Kroger (main home brand) Pssst (discount/low-end brand)
I think a large potion of the attention might be for aesthetic reasons - Nova N 176 is interesting, but the artwork throughout Voynich makes it much more interesting to look through for people "just looking." Nova isn't…
I miss when stores in malls and the like would have weird contraptions of that sort (mobiles, pendulums, ball/marble race tracks, etc.) to catch your eye.

I've been using Mailfance (https://mailfence.com/) for around two years now and been very happy with them - the interface isn't the most beautiful thing ever, but it is simple to use and it works, and the pricing is…
I think the issue isn't emissions in that case but a "amount of land space necessary for landfills for traditional plastic" vs. "amount of land space necessary for plant growth for bioplastic." If the bioplastic growth…
I can't speak for those who got it for free with your code, but if didn't have the code, I'd have been pretty upset to pay fifteen dollars for a desktop app only to find a tab in it letting me know that to access…
About 6:55 in I think he gets a little scratch.
I immediately envisioned an Ender's Game scenario where someone, somewhere is playing Euro Truck Simulator 2030 and, unbeknownst to them, is actually driving a real truck and making real deliveries. I know that wouldn't…
> Note: when the screwup was, say, due to people from our TX helpdesk, they would never say “Oh, those Texans screwed it up” I can't speak for everyone everywhere, obviously - all teams are different and have their own…
Reminds me a bit of Defender of the Favicon: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19262529 Really clever concept, and I like the ease of building levels for it.
This is easily one of the most amusing things I've read in a long while - clever, refreshing, no political/moral posturing, and still lightly thought-provoking.
I have the same issue on openSUSE Leap 15 - it's not Windows specific. I've found that the number of tabs doesn't matter too much - if I copy the URL of the non-loading tab, close the tab, open a new one and paste the…
