Thank you for the reply. Yes, I learned what I had to learn from going to astronomy gatherings and absorbing what the folks worked with. A store like what you describe would be awesome in today's day and age.

On a side note, I have an 8'' dobsonian and people think I might be getting magnified views of DSOs with that by default. I have to explain about eyepieces to them to clear that out.

If you are buying think through whether you want a wider field of view (S30 series) or more details (S50 series). S30 might be a better bet for amateur viewing.

They had Trump 1/3 and Clinton 2/3 IIRC. That was a bigger spread. I remember Nate Silver saying that is what 1/3 probability looks like later.

I have 2 kids in single digit ages (1 under 5). I bought meta gen 2 last month and I cannot describe how many sweet moments I have captured. My kid loves to sing while playing with dolls and stops as soon as I flip my phone out to record.

I ordered a soccer team jersey from UK which cost $100. I had to shell out $75 in tariffs. So yes while what you are saying might apply to businesses, there is a real cost paid by consumers as well.

That is interesting. Thanks for sharing I was interested in trying out a Porsche. Do the oil changes and other maintenance items cost significantly more than other makers?

Another place where auto can be useful is to handle cases where the function signature changes without making changes at the calling site. An explicitly typed var would need changing or worse, can work with some potential hidden bugs due to implicit type conversion.

Any software that works 90% or even 99% of the time is not safe software especially when it has to be used to operate machines with deadly power.

TikTok is banned in India. OracleTok might not be.. So that's a lot of potential users.

Sure it might have been unpopular and a silly cause. However that didn't stop the government from invoking the emergencies act and cracking down with impunity. There were even cases of finances being frozen.

Most of the time unless your club is playing, you'd root for a draw in games between top teams for the rivals to drop points. So rooting for a draw is more exciting for a Liverpool fan watching an Arsenal City game for instance.

I don't use my watch for running (using a 7 year old Fitbit versa). However, I do keep it on the entire day unless it is charging. I was curious what the weight of the Time 2 was going to be (I don't see it in the specs). I just wanted to compare the weight of it to my existing device. Thanks!

Bacteria still outweigh us a thousand to one and that's not counting those already in our bodies is a great alt-text as well.

Thank you!

I am interested in learning piano myself having just gotten one for my kid. Did you learn it by yourself? If so any resources you can point in my direction? Thanks!

Yes. I have bare minimum s/w on the windows 11 that came with it.

Anecdata here but I bought a thinkpad T14 in 2022. My colleague bought the same at the same time. We both have identical machines except for me opting for an intel processor and him picking an AMD. My laptop has heating issues and terrible battery life. His lasts an entire day and no heating issues. Forums research shows others in the same timeframe are facing the same issue as me so it is entirely Intel related.

They could even have done slow rollouts. Roll it out to a geographical region and wait an hour or so before deploying elsewhere.

I was seriously considering one last year and the quality control issues threw me off. The fact that you need to go through a long checklist to take delivery of a new car is mentally exhausting (example here: https://teslaprep.glideapp.io/dl/d0a5f4). Not to mention the suspension issues that were making the news (whompy wheels).

Italy is not shown in the forecast zone but pics are surfacing from northern parts of it. Does that mean there is hope for southern US?

Isn't some of it have to do with it being a self selecting sample? If you come to America to study, you were a good student in your resident country leading to more chances of success than the average local citizen. Their children might be smarter on average. Alternatively if you are coming fleeing persecutions you are enterprising enough to set up something for your children. That hard work inculcates a sort of work ethic in such children which in turn sets them up for success. Speaking from experience as an immigrant myself.

Among other things (like cloud for instance). I always think Sundar is the Steve Ballmer of Google.

Thanks

Thanks, will consider it then.

Thank you for the reply

Any issues with ink getting clogged? I was hearing such cases for ecotank variants. My use-case is infrequent printing

IMO I felt that battle was lost couple of years back when my wife was pregnant with our youngest. We were looking for CDC guidelines on covid booster for expectant mothers. The website mentions "pregnant people". That's when I felt discourse is evolving to cater to the edge cases.

I am not a youtuber or the media. I was seriously thinking about buying a model y late last year so borrowed a model 3 and a y from friends to test it out. I found it distracting TBH.

Not to mention the suspension issues (google "tesla whompy wheels"). After reading that junked the idea of buying it.

That screen is seriously distracting and the worst thing is you have to look at it even to check your speed. There is absolutely 0 information displayed behind the steering wheel. I always wonder how did this get approved.
