I haven’t finished the book, but The Wall Street Journal Guide to Information Graphics is also a good read on the subject.

I counted backwards once and figured out I was conceived the same month as my parents’ anniversary. I thought I might’ve been the result of their anniversary trip to Jamaica, and for some reason that made me uncomfortable knowing that. A few years later they were talking about the trip and that they didn’t know my mom was pregnant at the time. So thinking more it made sense that I was actually probably from a week or two beforehand, but then that means mom was drinking while pregnant because she didn’t know (although I’m assuming that early doesn’t have much impact).
What’s funny to me is Ireland wasn’t trying to collect these taxes, the European Commission decided that the Irish taxes were too low and amounted to an illegal subsidy.
If the TV supports it. I haven’t come across many in the wild that really use it, or at least situations where a TV and device both work well with the protocol.
Yes it’s for a cable box/DVR. The Spectrum logo is for Spectrum cable, the brand that resulted from the Charter Communications purchase of Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks.
I keep meaning to watch it, just never think of trying it
You have 13 months left on Windows 10 before it becomes potentially unsafe to use:
TL;DR: Repairable, but no long-term OS support and not easy to load an alternative OS on.
The specifications pages for the HMD Fusion and HMD Skyline explain the phones are only guaranteed to receive two major Android operating system updates and three years of Android OS security patches. There’s no guarantee of a release schedule for security updates on the Skyline, while the Fusion will get two years of monthly updates and quarterly updates for the last year.
I think it’s a valid criticism. I was a longtime Android user (at least a decade) but my last Android was a Pixel 2 that I bought at launch. That was the first Android phone I’d had that I wasn’t dying to replace after 2 years. I made it to 3 years and then the phone stopped getting security updates, a Qualcomm problem as much as a Google problem at the time. Meanwhile I looked at my stepdaughter using my wife’s old iPhone, which was 6 years old at that point and still receiving updates and still easy enough to take to a local shop for repairs when she would break it. That was my largest reason to make the switch.
I’m glad to see Google is now promising much longer support on its phones, 6 to 8 years on more recent Pixels, and it seems fairly easy to put an alternate OS on. Other Android brands should really try to follow that lead.
I’ve been assuming that their user engagement is down. Fifteen years ago when I was fresh out of university I had several hundred friends and could spend hours every day going through posts from dozens of different people. Now it feels like I can spend ten or fifteen minutes to see everything and mostly it’s from the same half-dozen people, and I’ve realized most of them are people I don’t really know as well and frankly am not as interested in seeing. At first I thought it was because they were the most prolific posters and I’d inadvertently trained the algorithm to show me more from them by interacting with them the most.
But over the past year I’ve noticed if I actually click on someone else’s profile, maybe having seen their name on a memory or just randomly think of an old friend, most of them only make a few posts a year or haven’t posted anything at all in years. Their accounts still exist, but they’re not using them.
If your feed was only this, a few posts a day from a few people, you’d have no reason to be on Facebook much. So they fill it in with junk from other places that will hopefully engage you. If it doesn’t they’ll try other posts. Whatever it takes to keep you browsing longer.
Charmin at Costco seems like it’s the same size toilet paper historically was, but it’s sort of too wide for the new roll holders when we moved.
Maybe they can use AI to finally get people the titles for the cars they bought
This whole thing is horrifying, but the last paragraph is especially disturbing:
Since Herrera himself has a young daughter, and since there are “six children living within his fourplex alone” on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, the government has asked a judge not to release Herrera on bail before his trial.
Even more disturbing is it said he was also producing content.
Not having read the article, assuming this is just watching the ordinary program on the same streaming service the general public has access to, this feels more like she doesn’t want to for whatever reason. She certainly seems like she’s smart enough to figure out how to reset her password if she wanted to. Maybe there was some odd code she needed to use to get free access or something, but again that seems like something she could get resolved if she wanted to.
Similarly, she can surely afford to buy the show on disc. I’m guessing she wants free discs but hasn’t received them from the production. I feel like that would be a fair request for a production she worked on. If I was heavily involved in a show or movie I would like a copy on physical media that I could keep in my collection for the rest of my life, not some discount code for a streaming service that will inevitably disappear someday.
I first heard of these from the ValuJet crash, but didn’t realize until reading this that the canisters standing by for emergency use are right there in the overhead compartments next to the masks, and there are a whole bunch of them (one for each mask compartment).
I think that’s common in Europe, or maybe they list it along with kcal
My understanding is it can actually run on a pretty wide variety of fuels (in general; not every specific model can run on a wide variety).
I had a friend from college (female) who had some guy with the same name in Atlanta constantly using her email to sign up for things, like gym membership, dating sites, utility bills, etc. This went on for a decade at least. She even tried calling some of the companies to try and get his phone number. I’m not sure how she ever got it to stop.
Also, in certain training missions it was possible to shoot your instructor.
This would result in you being sent to the brig: Log in to your account, and for a week, all you get is a view from inside a prison cell, no game menus or options at all, rofl.
Hilarious! I guess adding permadeath to the game would’nt’ve helped with the recruiting mission, but this feels like it’s in the same spirit.
Thank you, I was trying to remember what that was called
I really need to set myself up a computer that I can run VR to my Quest 2 with!
