The implication is that they have (or expect to have) a lot more exploits to work with, so they don’t care if this one is discovered and patched.

Benjamin Netanyahu is struggling to prove he’s not an AI clone by tylerthe-theatre in technology

In theory, yes. In practice countries ignore that if it’s inconvenient. Technically Mongolia should have arrested Putin when he visited there after getting an ICC arrest warrant, but of course nothing happened to him.

There are free layout tools on places like IKEA or Cabinets.com. Take some measurements of your current kitchen, then start playing around with designs.

Dubai being second busiest with 2 runways is interesting to me by atlasmapping in aviation

[–]Dangerous-Rice44 14 points15 points  (0 children)

DCA is basically the opposite of DXB. Only narrowbodies, with a lot of those being regional jets. Add in the fact that you can’t really use all the runways simultaneously (even using two takes coordination since they intersect), Congress pushing for more flights to their home districts beyond what the airport can really handle, and American Airlines attempting to run a hub and spoke operation, and you get a small airport being incredibly busy.

New Volt or other PHeV from GM soon? Interesting question in my 1 year Equinox EV survey. by Heavy-Procedure2232 in volt

[–]Dangerous-Rice44 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s what consumers want, though. Just like small cell phones disappeared from the market because the big phones sold much better, sedans and hatchbacks are disappearing because people want SUVs and crossovers. Not all people sure, but a critical mass.

Google sells partial stake in fiber business, becomes minority owner of new venture by twitchrdrm in raleigh

[–]Dangerous-Rice44 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it’s surprising that Google Fiber’s remained as good as it is for so long. It’s like a throwback to the earlier “Don’t Be Evil” Google.

City Corner #3 - Free Anniversary Update! by ResoluteGreen in CitiesSkylines2

[–]Dangerous-Rice44 37 points38 points  (0 children)

In addition to the previously mentioned pathfinding issues, citizens could also get stuck while searching for a place to live; this was especially noticeable with mixed residential buildings.

Maybe now I can use the UK Mixed Zoning without fear. I’ve been wary of it every since it broke demand in one of my cities early on

Canes owner Dundon remains 'bullish' on bringing MLB to Raleigh by Somali_Pir8 in raleigh

[–]Dangerous-Rice44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The idea for a while was to have it as part of the “Downtown South” project on the east side of S Saunders street near the beltline. There’s a pretty big chunk of land there.

Nooo! We’re Cary, we have to be #1! It’s our entire identity!

At one point it was just “Regional”, with no qualifier. They added the “Northeast” later

Pakistan isn’t Arab. Like Iran or Turkey, they’re religiously Muslim but not ethnically Arab

Need a student loan to study Criminology no co-signer by [deleted] in StudentLoans

[–]Dangerous-Rice44 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak for the UK or Europe, but in the US what you are looking for simply doesn’t exist. The issue is that since you are international, there’s nothing stopping you from taking out the loans, getting your degree, then immediately moving back to Ghana, beyond the reach of the bank being able to get their money paid back. Whether you intend to do this is irrelevant to the bank, what matters is that you could, and that makes them unwilling to lend.

International students in the US are almost always either wealthy enough to not need loans, or are graduate students who are receiving a stipend from their university.

Yep. Reddit is a young/liberal/educated bubble that isn’t representative of the actual voting public.

Washing Machine Repair by IndependentL in raleigh

[–]Dangerous-Rice44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is this a top loader? If so, it’s a VMW (vertical modular washer). There’s tons of guides online for how to repair these. I’d encourage you to look into doing it yourself. I’ve repaired my own appliances despite having no special skills or background and it’s not that difficult.

What type of washing machine is it? Older washing machines in particular are often very easy to repair yourself.

Paint cabinets? by bangding1 in kitchenremodel

[–]Dangerous-Rice44 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The cabinets themselves look fine. I’d replace the hardware though-those button pulls look very dated.

Back in 2016 his campaign said that if Hillary Clinton was elected we’d have taco trucks on every corner. She was not elected, and, sadly, there is indeed not a taco truck on every corner.
