It's technically illegal here but official enforcement is non-existent. There are civil court options but it's a lot of work. You don't just file a police report. You have to track down the driver's details and have evidence they intended to cause, or actually have caused, physical harm. I've never tried because in most cases it feels like it's not road rage, the driver didn't intend to cause harm, they're just a terrible driver. Legally, it seems a certain amount of harassment is kinda legal :( After close passes, I've caught up to drivers and politely asked them to please change lanes to pass. They're usually confused or embarrassed tho one got mad.

Any trike can be elctrified and winter fairings are available. Go for it! https://www.utahtrikes.com/PROD-11615952.html

I'm a vehicular cyclist too. "that's not your problem" is technically true but not helpful. Being able to maintain your speed uphill and avoid being overtaken is helpful.

"Just take a longer route" Sure I'll take a side street when possible to avoid a main street, but often there's no reasonable alternative to a street with cars going fast.

The things you're suggesting for bikes work on ebikes just as well. You're fit, and have the confidence that years of experience brought.

"Take the lane" is good advice but you must not be around other vehicles if you don't have cars making close passes. It makes you more visible and most drivers fully change lanes to pass but I still find drivers who won't. They'll take the edge of my lane and pass close. Being able to maintain speed can mean fewer overtakings.

It takes a lot of confidence to be a vehicular cyclist. Ebikes boost the rider's power and confidence.

You could hear them in LA when the Space Shuttle landed at Edwards AFB. Explosion yeah.

Recall is the word we use when a defect was found and must be repaired or retrofit. The actual process of repair could involve customer action or not.

Teslas are basically digitally tethered to the dealer, so they can be "recalled" anytime (without your approval, fwiw), but it doesn't make the word not apply.

The US State Department has already adopted the new spelling, so you're wrong. https://www.npr.org/2023/01/08/1147704945/the-state-departme...

It's silly to think things don't change and rude to call people names they don't want to be called

Industrial chemistry. Steel making uses coke to reduce ore but could use hydrogen if it was cheap enough. Fertilizer like ammonia (NH3) is produced with those H's coming from methane, releasing carbon.

If it's nearly 100% efficient it becomes a low loss battery. Floating turbines could generate hydrogen in periods of low demand and send to a floating compressor and storage system to be used for energy generation or chemistry or airships, whatever

I'm not an expert but I've read that relocating them is hard because they're so territorial and there's not like an abundance of wilderness left to put him. He probably would have been killed by a younger mountain lion by now if he was in a more wilderness territory.

There was the thought maybe he'd cross back to the Santa Monica mountains, maybe a female would cross over to Griffith park.

He wasn't a problem until the very end, then he was caught and found to be in rough shape, probably suffering. FWIW, coyotes kill more pets but are afaik only killed when they get too familiar with humans or are aggressive.

Considering he was down to 90 lbs from 123 in 2012, had a cracked skull and herniated diaphragm from an apparent recent car crash, I'd say he was euthanized

There's a Docker image for Moncica which seems pretty dead-simple https://github.com/monicahq/docker

I like your optimism but OP's job is to take text instructions and turn them into video, for advertisements. If Google (who already control so much of the advertising space) can take text instructions and turn them into advertisements, what's left for OP to do here? Even if there's some additional editing required this seems like it will greatly reduce the hours an editor is needed. And it can probably iterate options and work faster than a human.

Yeah, Armenia has sujuk (sausage) and sweet sujuk aka walnut sausage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Churchkhela (Georgia calls it this)

In San Pedro CA there's a beach called White Point Park, named for the mats of white sulfur oxidizing bacteria that grow in geothermal spring water. A Japanese family ran a bath house with the water from a geothermal spring but an earthquake damaged the flow and then being sent to internment camps ended it. I was gazing in the tide pools there when I got a whiff of sulfur, like at a hot spring, and followed my nose to a tide pool full of white fuzzy sulfur oxidizing bacteria (I think).

For the curious, I think they mean decimal values 16408693 and 16410119. Which have other archaic meanings but their primary modern meanings are a slur. 16410349 is apparently British slang for exhausted, so maybe gets a pass?

I was not in the gifted program but most of my friends and younger siblings were. I agree with this assessment. They had access to after school programs and opportunities that were not offered to the rest of us. Their classes gave a higher GPA for the same results in regular classes despite (in some cases) teaching basically the same thing as regular classes, from the same book. Regular classes were the same workload but less creativity, enthusiasm, and support.

I later found out that test scores didn't entirely determine placement. Many of my peers were put in the gifted program after a parent advocated for them.

So yes, I appreciate these efforts to equalize opportunity. I'd like that the lessons offered in gifted programs can be offered to all students

We might agree -- because it's not excess if people still aren't having their needs met. But producing exactly enough is a recipe for not enough when something unexpected happens. There should be waste (or unused capacity, that can hopefully be somehow reclaimed as compost/bio-char/chemical feedstock/fuel/etc) in such an essential system.

Sounds like they laid out facts. The Dean had a job to do but was also doing a side hustle. It's not vague to me. If you're giving a poor performance to your well-paid first job, you shouldn't be taking 2nd job.

The signal was weak. An attempt at fixing the problem, boosting the voltage, caused the insulation to fail. Later cables added repeaters along the way to maintain the signal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transatlantic_telegraph_cable#...

It seems to me that none of this would happen if they followed best practices, which (if I understand correctly) is to query for the record using the idendifier (username), make sure there is only one result, then use like some standard crypt library to compare the password to the hashed+salted password?

This just seems like bad code on bad code.

We haven't always had this extreme degree of income and wealth inequality. Investments still happened.

I mean, you're either trolling or incredibly daft to think it's my job to teach you how to think

Is this what they call a red herring?

I once heard "Advertising doesn't work on me, I'm too smart."

But we're all susceptible to suggestion and sensationalism, and some to a greater degree. The fact that this company is paying him millions, and probably making more, creates a perverse incentive to sustain and promote him and his nonsense.

What's laughable is that so many people think Neil Young cares if Spotify carries his music, as if he needs the money or exposure.

He's making a statement that Joe Rogan is polluting our minds. Spotify is promoting and paying Rogan, with an exclusive contract. Will this change anything? We'll see, probably not. But I'm sure Neil Young doesn't care if his music isn't on Spotify, as long as they're funding Rogan's BS.

I'd add WFMU (edit: also KXLU) to your list. But I still like to be able to skip songs and change to a whole new playlist/genre/album with basically zero effort or costs if I feel like binging on a genre. Which basically means I'm going to be subscribed to some streaming service. Youtube is a good option.

Spotify has a multi-year contract with Rogan, paying him more than $100 million for exclusive content.

That does make me want to switch platforms.

Ok but I'm just not gonna continue the discussion if you make claims, tell me to google, I come back and say "didn't find anything" and you still don't support your claim with links. Feels like i'm being trolled.

ETA: this isn't about "feeling full" or "bulk" this is about how the body processes food, and extracts energy using bacteria, who feed on fiber in our diet. google "fiber gut bacteria" for what I'm talking about

I feel like everyone talking about drug addicted homeless people shitting everywhere are really just upset that the issue affects them, in their otherwise class-insulated world, somehow.

Here's a story about homeless students living in their cars. It's not just some drug addicts making bad decisions -- they are a minority. There are thousands of people sleeping on the streets and in cars because they can not afford housing.
