Guns are regulated. How much regulation, who gets allowed, what types of guns, and if the regulations are being enforced, those are the real questions. This warrant and shooting is a result of a law that wasn’t enforced well, as they had already broken the law once and yet someone sold/gave them guns again.
That feels like a privacy issue, maybe related to the topic of whether or not they can force you to unlock your phone? I don’t know where the current law is on that.
I haven’t seen them in production yet, but for years I’ve heard of the idea of infrared detection in car systems to see warm bodies better at night on a screen or heads up display. There was also the idea of using that along with IR lighting and road markings to light up the road better. Like having high beams on without blinding other drivers, something that is far too common these days.
I think the sleeper is “talk to plants”. Remember how Aquaman used to be the joke in the Justice League? And I’m not well versed in comics, but Poison Ivy comes to mind as being pretty powerful.
And the new President doesn’t necessarily have to pick a VP, it’s just expected to fill the vacancy.
Well, it would be pretty suspicious given he’s the world’s healthiest man. /s
The good old days when you had just two choices and were either in the Riva TNT or the Voodoo club for a graphics card.
Climate changes…abruptly.
More methane release overwhelms the natural breakdown agents in the atmosphere (hydroxyl radicals) so an increase bumps up the decay half life average and overall greenhouse gas effectiveness. We know there’s more methane leaks now due to both manmade sources as well as natural feedback loops from warming. Yet the IPCC still uses the older half life numbers for methane even now.
It’s talking about the annual global average, probably surface air since that’s mentioned later in the article. You’re right that it should be much more specific about what’s meant in the first sentence, not near the end.
Except the joke is that the kit came only with four nails instead of five as listed, so they had to improvise.
An unusual positive stance for me - all bricks in the wall are still important even if they are but one in a thousand. Remove a few bricks and the wall begins to weaken. Etc.
This would most likely be in its own turn lane, as you don’t want turning traffic that has to sometimes yield for oncoming to block others going straight. The lights give two different conditions, one where the driver has right-of-way (the arrow), and the other where it’s up to the driver to determine conditions before proceeding.
In my area instead of this setup we now have two lights - one is a green arrow alone for right to turn, and the other is a yellow flashing arrow meaning to turn with caution only when it’s clear. And while that may sound more obvious, when they were initially put up people had a lot of trouble with it. Just like when the first roundabouts started popping up. Now both are common and part of normal driving.

Nobody understands a lot of basic rules.
Proper mirrors would allow the driver to see most of those side blind spots, or at least tell something is there. A fish eye mirror at the bottom would catch anything missed by a flat mirror. The important thing is to not hang out in those areas when you can go ahead and pass. And don’t try to squeeze through when a truck is swinging out to make a wide turn, because at some point he definitely can’t see you, and may not even feel you get run over.
There’s no question I wrote the couple of things I’ve done for work to automate things, but I swear every time I have to revisit the code after a long while it’s all new again, often wondering what the hell was I thinking. I like to tell myself that since I’m improving the code each time I review it, each new change must be better overall code. Ha. But it works…
Same here, although I thought VGA. Dealt with too many parallel cables in the past and that didn’t look wide enough.
I did comment that enforcement seemed to be part of the problem here, yes. Do the laws need to be more strict? I doubt that will fix any enforcement, since that’s the failure.
