Yeah. DC has some very pretty metro stations. NYC has SO MANY stops in Manhattan it was silly when visiting.

Marketing Company Claims That It Actually Is Listening to Your Phone and Smart Speakers to Target Ads (www.404media.co)

You really don't understand how advertising works.

How about a fucking sedan?

The Ford Fiesta, a subcompact, can tow 2,000lb. For the vast, vast majority of tow jobs a standard car with a hitch will be just fine. Fuck, half of England tows RVs across their country every summer and they mostly drive cars smaller than Americans.

Oh, and the person driving that Kei truck? He likely doesn't own it, it's for his job. Trucks are work vehicles. Almost no Americans need pickup trucks. It's a luxury status symbol that's highly dangerous. The few times someone needs to haul shit, you can rent one and then you don't have to worry as much about scratching the pristine bed that 99% of American truck owners never use.

Fuses don't dissipate electricity. They pass electricity and then blow when exceeded. Blowing is either flipping off (like your breaker) or breaking (like replaceable fuses). The point of a fuse is to be the weakest link so if a surge occurs it doesn't damage equipment or wiring.

In the case you described, they were looking for a load (where energy is used or dissipated to do work) to absorb that much energy at once. There might be a fuse that could withstand that kind of load; there was wiring that could afterall. But if the shield system could absorb the full power of an overloaded warp core, it might not have needed one if there was no downside to overcharging it.

Yeah I was thinking this was just a REALLY fast drone.

Photons are born and die at c. They experience no time and have no frame of reference.

That's actually a myth. Glass is an amorphous solid. It exists the Glass Transition, which is where the solid changes from brittle to rubbery as it heats and begins to melt.

Front teeth grab prey. The inner jaws grab it again and pull it back to help it swallow large prey.

FOSS series of novels? Is that another term for a web serial? A free novel or story posted in chunks online?

Well, that's unexpected but I guess CC companies are willing to risk it. Especially if they know that CCs are the only viable option they have and they can offer penalty APRs with little pushback.

Yeah. I don't expect to use USD in the middle of nowhere France or Germany when Euros exist. The exchange rate doesn't really matter: the store isn't equipped to take that currency.

The Jedi Code is so weird. It allows slavery? Why didn't Qui Gon just cut Watto in half after the race and take Ani's mom with them?

Most YT creators are getting most of their money from the sponsors they promote. YT ads suck for revenue unless you're gigantic and with how yt will demonetize you for literally anything it's too unreliable too be sustainable.

Your experience is not absolute. It's still abelist and offensive.

No. Can't. The only interaction sensors have is with particles. Photons usually. All things give off light but then measuring light itself, measuring is destructive.

This happened even to middle class people who were buying cheap housing and selling it as their only income. At the time, housing was still affordable enough that upper middle class people could make a living doing that.

Definitely don't feel any pity for them. Market speculation is always risky, even if the market you are trading in is "safe" or "risk-free". I especially don't feel bad at people speculating on a good like housing that 100% of people need.

How do you not know that Dr House is the villain in that show? Im this clip his own colleague calls him out for it. This clip clearly shows how biased and judgemental he is without basis. He fucking abuses pills in this scene. THAT'S A CLUE.

Do you think Heisenberg is the hero, too?
