Don’t all modern browsers allow you to disable auto-playing of video, even per-site if desired?

Like I get it, they don’t want someone torrenting 100tb of data in a day. That bogs things down.

No, that isn’t accurate and isn’t getting it.

All the data caps today are for total cumulative quantity per billing cycle. That is not a reliable method for controlling what actually bogs things down, which is the bandwidth used at any moment (speed).

Limiting bandwidth is also done by most ISPs today, but that’s not what this is asking to change. The data caps are exclusively a way to charge more.

No misunderstanding - I get what you’re saying and I disagree.

I also don’t agree that expecting journalists to be accurate makes someone an asshole. If they were reporting on an automobile and wrote that the spark plugs make 500HP we could guess what they likely meant, but we’d also recognize the journalist’s ignorance. They should educate themselves on their subject matter so they can do their job properly.

Sure they do. The gun clubs I’ve joined foster an environment that attracts people who demonstrate care and consideration in all aspects concerning firearms. If someone is lazy and imprecise in the manner in which they communicate about guns, that might also apply to their general demeaner. After speaking with some of these fellows during public range days, it’s not surprising when later they’re shooting holes in the shelter roof or bouncing ricochets off the top of the berm.

Or dummy rounds (aka snap caps), or blanks…

Shouldn’t the pipeline have failed unless the functional tests passed?

Generalizations that are oversimplified to the point of lacking all nuance are probably untrue because there are bound to be exceptions. Instead, try including ‘many’, ‘most’, or such as an easy remedy.

Specifically, landlords can create value when they handle property management and maintenance (and the related costs) efficiently. It is wrong that greed has made that so rare.

Which part was dickish? Was it the ellipsis?

There is no real need to use captured products though, so OP’s question is flawed.

Any desire to use said products (or not) needs to weigh the pros and cons of the captured products vs alternatives.

But what about all the real valuable assets these companies would have these days? Like the multitude of 5 year old PCs, 1990s era Hermann-Miller office furniture, the buildings and land they lease… /s

How many cops has she arrested or ticketed? This is a foundational component of the calculation.

Because it’s tldr: did the article say why muskrat would be subject to brazilian laws?

Biden is owned by the same people as Trump. There’s only one party, the party of the Oligarchs.

Is not the same as

all democrats and republicans act the same and are equal

Refusing to see nuance in the difference between the sentiment of these two statements does a disservice to yourself and your cause (unless you’re on the side of the billionaires).

So here you go since you missed the distinction: they can both be (and are) corrupt, without being “the same”.

People like to point out all the ways they’re not the same and one team is better than the other. Fine. Those things can all be true, and politicians in both those parties are still corrupt.

It was only a couple presidents ago that Democrats had the House, Senate, and President. Even then they couldn’t get their own members to vote for anti-corruption legislation.

OP makes a statement that all democrats and republicans act the same and are equal

Wrong. OP never wrote that - YOU made that statement as a strawman. You should try to be a more honest person.

Disproves which part of what he wrote?

Or disproves the strawman you set up yourself?

Almost every state requires some manner of concealed carry permit

Are you intentionally untruthful or just ignorant?

Is your definition of “almost every” LESS THAN HALF?

These are facts which are easy to look up and here you are spreading misinformation.

Sure, committing to a deadline is reasonable if you are included in the decision calculus of scope vs time. Part of that should be to include space for learning as needed to understand anything you’d copy.

Omitting that is a recipe for low quality garbage and not only will the code suffer, but the organization also will while all the staff fall behind any competitors who make the investment.

I’m not sure, but your comment seems to imply an assumption that the foam was designed to be external to the air path and is getting unintentionally sucked in? That’s not the case, the foam is literally only inside an “air chamber” that the air directly travels through.

I could send you a Cease and Decist notice on my finest letterhead insisting that you stop being a stupid overreaching authoritarian. That doesn’t mean a court would uphold it. C&D isn’t proof of anything.

While I agree that pavement princesses are stupid, saying:

oversized modern one’s that aren’t any better at work than the much smaller ones of the past

is either very disingenuous or ignorant.

The image calls out towing and compares something like a Daihatsu Hi-Jet with a Chevrolet Silverado 1500.

In the are where I live, if you’re building a retaining wall you might bring a skid loader such as the Kubota SVL65. Weighing in at 3840kg (8465 lbs), the kei truck couldn’t pull that with its meager towing capacity of 600kg (1323 lbs). Meanwhile, the lowest 2023 Silverado 1500 has a towing capacity of 4309kg (9,500 lbs).

A popular block used for retaining walls here is 40x30x6cm (16x12x6in) & 37kg (82 lbs). The Hi-Jet can haul 9 blocks in its bed, or about 13 in a trailer. Meanwhile, the Silverado could haul 23 blocks in its bed, or over two full 48-block pallets towed on a trailer.
