Lol, what? More so than a firearm, that app is a tool. Scanners can be used to increase vigilance and engagement in a community, and to keep citizens informed about possibly very high stakes goings-on. In most places in the US, at least, it is your right to monitor any cleartext comms as long as you are not a convicted felon.

I’d say it’s pretty damn difficult for both. The VFD speed is dependent on the gradient, just like the duty cycle of a conventional AC is.

Conventional ACs don’t “operate at 100% all the time” either. The compressor is cycled by the thermostat. You cannot calculate consumption of either without knowing the temperature gradient between the conditioned and outside space.

I can’t stand the proselytizing powered by privilege on so many planes. Whether it’s cost, availability, or time, people have many reasons for being mUrDeReRs. Nobody likes being condescended over things that are barely in their control as it is.

Free speech is merely an ill-defined right to speak without consequence from the government, not the right to a podium wherever you choose.

I would pay $56bn to watch him get eaten alive by a bear.

That sucks and all, but at least we can still have guns!

Two pilots were on board. Apparently there were issues with the ship’s propulsion system at last inspection. My money is on a mechanical issue; if not, this was a monumental fuck up by the harbor pilots and/or the crew.

You should report him. Everyone who knows someone with the motive and the means should. You can have guns, or your head filled with caustic bile, but not both.

What about ed? Or TECO?

I said “HMC” because that is the name of the company. Hyundai is just one of their makes. And I don’t really read any auto forums. I’m not sure how you thought you had me sized up.

Hyundai Motor Company.

Garbage cars. My stepmother’s Kia has had no fewer than two admonitions not to park the thing inside due to possible spontaneous combustion, even while off. My sister-in-law’s Hyundai received a software update that uses the acoustic knock sensor to sense when catastrophic journal failure is imminent. This was after her previous Hyundai which went through two motors, each failing at the exact same mileage in the same mode.

Another dayhour, another HMC shitbox recalled.

Trump threatening to ban it was his “even a stopped clock” moment. Of course he backtracked. TikTok is a giant blackmail collection apparatus to be used against future US leaders. Voting for fascism because your app addiction can no longer be scratched is peak idiocy.

Everyone who isn’t with you, must be against you. There is no nuance or in-between.

Unfortunately, this is exactly how first-past-the-post elections work, and such elections are our current reality. Operating outside the parameters of reality will not get you any closer to your objectives.

Even that is a distinction without a difference. Someone is still making money off of stupid tiktokers who are addicted to the service and generating gobs of ad revenue.

Wealthy Americans like those making money hand over fist off tiktok? Just listen to yourself.

Good. It’s about time.

Companies make configuration changes. Mistakes happen. Sometimes they cascade. In this case, it seems like a simple syntax error or similar cascaded. I’ve seen far, far stupider causes of outages in my career, like idiots running tests against the prod DB and forgetting that the test does DROP SCHEMA public; before it runs.
