I have one of the models affected by this recall. My serial number indicates it isn't affected. It's been working fine for years. I have other products of theirs and my biggest complaint is that my earbuds didn't work after being lost in the snow and found months later in the spring.

Does my anecdote beat yours?

Don't you hate how you will relive those minor mess-ups that barely matter for years after? Most people probably don't care if they can even remember it.

I'm absolutely not going to buy a mapping robot vacuum unless it keeps that info local, or on a server I can host. I have one right now with cloud controls, but it's only for the schedule.

I think truck nuts are tacky and stupid, but if you want them, I don't see why my opinion should matter. Now, if they were big enough that they were dragging down the street and making sparks, maybe they should be banned. I'd find that funnier than the normal style, too.

English is perfectly reasonable... if you think taking root words from 3 or 4 languages as a core and fleshing it out with words from another half dozen languages and stitching it together with grammar that kind of matches a couple of those languages is reasonable.

That was not the case in this circumstances.

There's no real evidence that people are smarter today than they were 5000 years or so ago. We just have more knowledge/technology.

In my riding, only God Himself would have had a chance if He wasn't running for the conservatives.

Here's a link to the list of JEST approved programs. After some brief poking around, I also discovered they're doing a exoplanet search around Altair, which is completed.

It's what helps Dianetics stay in the Bestsellers lists.

I'm not sure what you're trying to implying here. Is there some industrial espionage happening, where you think Iran is going to lose some secret to the other nuclear powers? Or do you think the international watchdog isn't going to report on the facilities and activities they're mandated to monitor?

If it makes you feel better, I do that off of Lemmy, too.

Is it better or worse if the shaking goes away in 10 or 15 minutes without eating?

Sadly, SailfishOS is region locked. Being from North America, I can't purchase their phones, or use the trial/emulation option, which really sucks because I like a lot of what I'm seeing there.

I once had the perfect job for biphasic sleeping. I would get up at 4 AM, work and be home by about 1 PM, sleep til 4 PM, stay up til 11 PM, then back to bed til 4 AM. 8 hours of sleep a day, 7 or 8 hours for work, 7 hours in the afternoon and evening for whatever I wanted, and I felt well-rested the whole time. It's the only thing I miss about that job.

The atmospheric temperature of Jupiter varies, but is well below zero degrees, Celsius or Fahrenheit. This means you could make a habitable shelter using neutral buoyancy to keep it in the desirable pressure ranges simply by keeping it at room temperature. You could even do the hot air balloon technique and have a large balloon heated to possibly above room temperature to allow for a larger habitat with stronger materials, so long as the net density is about one atmosphere.

None of this solves the question of how you power it, or do that orbital insertion in the first place, but Dr. Robert Forward discusses the mechanics of a similar idea in his novel Saturn Rukh.

I can appreciate what you're saying, but it's kind of like action adventure films. They mix the genres because the audience they're targeting wants that. So, if women are interested in romance, they can expand the fantasy readership by putting that in there. I've read some that aren't bad and some that are pretty tiring, but Allen Dean Foster wove a romance element into the Flinx series now and then, and it was a key part of the Spellsinger series. So not really just a women-only thing, and likely for the same reasons - expanding the market for the books.

Feeling pretty good about my EV right now. Costs me about $3.00/100 km, assuming I don't top up for free at work.

In basketball, you must always have two limbs touching the ground when you have the ball, unless you are standing, shooting, or jumping. Why? I don't like basketball and think it would be funny as he'll.

I prefer to think of merging it into the gestalt.
