  • This is absolutely the gatekeeping and control Trump's dictatorship wants to wield over companies and people. I'd be surprised if they stuck to precedent; their whole shtick is to rewrite application of law to their objectives, sidestepping Congress.

    A new Nation's Report Card shows drops in science, math and reading scores

    Jump

  • You want me to read a result of a study on science, math, and literacy? Pfft! TLDR!

    Joking aside, scale is all over the map on their article. 10 point drop (out of ???) in reading since 1992, 3 point drop in math since 2005, and 4 point drop in science since 2019, but this time for 8th graders.

    It's hard to correlate so many variables; a graph would help. Still, I'd expect COVID times to be a stumble, but hope to regain momentum by now.

  • I'm concerned one of the side effects of brainslugs is that the host can't see other brainslugs.

    But would that mean I... have a brainslug? Everyone in that room sound like whiny kissasses flaunting too much money so I can't have a brainslug, can I?

    No, not yet.

    Bombshell drone video reveals Chinese ‘factory’

    1. A hard drive survived the plummet to earth after being shot down in a drone. I would like to know the manufacturer of that drive for my next RAID array. Wow! Kudos to the data recovery technicians.

    2. With its 360-degree rotation and powerful 40x zoom, it gives Russian operators the ability to prey on women and children

    Really? War be goings on and you choose to play the women and children card, The Sun? Methinks the whims of a bored pervy Russian is not the highest priority of a wartime suicide drone.

  • TLDW;

    Dude is mind-blown to find out he should Taylor a resume to the job description.

    Saved you time thankyouverymuch.

    (Full disclaimer, I didn't watch the whole thing either)

    Edit: weirdbrain had more patience then me. Good enough for me.

  • Anyone automate anything with smart thermostats and outdoor temp?

    Jump

  • I have the same sensors, but on many windows. If I have windows on either side of the house open simultaneously and there is a favorable temp difference outside vs inside, an automation turns on an air exchange fan. If they are closed, I use advanced heating control

  • Engines don't necessarily wear faster, but there are modifications such as rubber seals, more robust fuel lines, and new air/fuel mapping to accommodate running ethenol vs gas.

  • Actually that is becoming more popular. I just saw one last month that gutted a V8 engine to hide an electric motor. Looks like an ICE from the outside. It was pretty neat!

    It's the battery packs that hold these conversations back. Older car suspensions just weren't built for that kind of weight.

  • In Leno's defense, smog checks for older cars can be absolute nonsense in CA.

    I have an older car caught up in that nonsense. The header pipes cracked and replacement parts didn't exist so I had a shop build some. They did amazing work and function perfectly; it's just pipe about a foot long.

    Anyway, the smog test shop sees that and fails visual inspection. That super sucks. There are no CARB exempt headers, and OEM is't available. I spent $$$ to put the old, leaking pipes back on, and send it back to the shop. Visual passes, smog passes. Next stop to the mechanic to swap headers back again.

    At the moment there is a lot more to smog testing an older car than a tube up the tailpipe and actual emission data which is the whole point of having this program in the first place.

    Leno likes cars, keeps his in great condition, and may simply need replacement parts manufactured that no longer exist.

    Edit: that said, I hoped the Leno law would fail. I looked up registration for my older car as a "classic". Yikes that's pricy! And has all kinds of strings attached like special registration and have to be garaged. This would be devastating to the classic car community.

  • I get what you are saying, but in the case of the internet, you need an IP address to connect rather than simply exist with a computer. Someone needs to know where to send the data.

    There are however free connections: unsecured neighbors wifi, city wifi, hotels, and even busses/trams. Lots have limitations to hogging bandwidth though.

    I was an early adopter of a cable modem with AT&T before download bandwidth caps. When the neighborhood went dark, I jumped to my computer and beeping UPS to download everything I could to find my max speed.
