yeah, and that is baked into the SoC, so it’s not like you could even just make a phone with a swappable antenna/modem module

Come join us on the QA side! I’m an automation developer, so it’s my job to make things automated :)

yeah, usually closing time is just buffer time for people to get their affairs in order, move out, inspections, lawyer stuff, etc. If you offer straight up cash and pay a boatload to the lawyers to get the paperwork done up ASAP, you can close likely within a couple weeks

Not to mention, who is in control of making the tests? Mental health/aptitude tests have had a history of being at least a little bit racist, kinda like the old ‘intelligence’ tests that were designed to prevent black people from voting.

The image sensor is square… it should just shoot 1:1 scale and let you crop it to an orientation later

Hard rationing of greenhouse gas emissions

You’re more or less describing cap-and-trade, where corporations have a limit of carbon emissions as ‘credits’ which can be traded on a market. So a company that doesn’t produce as much emissions can sell their surplus credits to another company, so the market as a whole doesn’t exceed a set amount of CO2 emissions. As it stands, in this or other carbon tax based systems, people pay for emissions in the form of sales tax on CO2 producing products.

wolves

I’d imagine they’d just leave again eventually. If suburbia was an advantageous place for them, they’d already be there.

Nuclear power plants within or adjacent to urban centers, especially in colder climate regions.

Nuclear plants are somewhat geographically restricted to needing to be close to a suitable water source, there’s plenty that are next to or inside metropolitan areas. That being said, high voltage transmission means that a plant can still be a few tens of kms outside of a city before transmission losses start to add up. Also, small-scare reactors have been under development for use in remote communities.

Gray water recovery built into homes and municipal water systems.

Any sort of dirty water recovery is more efficient at the municipal scale, and plenty of towns are already doing that.

Urine collection programs for phosphate recovery.

Seems that’s not a super easy thing to do (read expensive), but there’s research being done… also apparently, a good portion of it in wastewater is from laundry soap… but as in the above, more efficient to just collect all wastewater and process it on a large scale.

The truly infuriating part is there’s likely lots of people out there that got them on the first try or by accident

Probably something with a .ru TLD

I don’t think it’s a manufacturing thing, people sometimes use cast iron pans to melt lead for casting

Landlords run at market rate and that keeps a lot of people out, so for them that’s no housing.

That’s the worse than nothing option, because it also invites gentrification to the area, which drives up prices of everything else nearby. So now not only can people not afford a place to live, they also can’t even afford some food to eat, and are forced to migrate somewhere else. This is how you end up with homeless encampments.

The best alternative to a flawed government program is nothing, it can get far worse than that

Intracontinental high-speed thunderdome

And more often than not, the people that left were the higher performing employees. Penny-wise, pound-foolish.

charcoal (and probably propane) grills. Poor quality craps out so quick

Weber kettles are fantastic in this regard. They’re not super expensive brand new and can be downright cheap secondhand, but if you take care of them they’ll last decades. Also, Weber is pretty good about their warranty, and replacement parts can be found in most bog box hardware stores

r/watchpeopledie was popular enough to reach the top of r/all quite regularly before NFSW was filtered from it, and had half a million subscribers. There’s still plenty people in today’s society that would enjoy a medieval style public torture and execution.

Article says she was being belligerent and fighting the cops during her arrest. A black man would have been shot like 30 times

Wild when you also consider that some of the ‘incorrect translations’ may have been on purpose to satisfy the intent of the king/pope who ordered the translation be printed.

Gotta keep those skills sharp, amirite?

eh, just squash and merge. Feature branch can be messy as long as main is clean

Not only that, anywhere that a business is allowed to use cameras, they would want to have big, obvious cameras to try to prevent shoplifting.
