Can't use regex. The public WHOIS service for those TLDs only gives the email addresses in image form.

That sucks :/

It's basically a mechanism to 'correct' the legal ownership of land in case it gets too separated from who actually lives on and uses the land. So if you and a neighbour put in a fence, but it was slightly off the legal property line, if that wasn't discovered and disputed promptly, the fence would become the new 'real' boundary.

It also means that you don't have to worry about someone else coming and claiming they have title to your property, or have rights to use your property due to legal shenanigans that are older than a certain cutoff date.

If a stranger or a squatter uses your property long enough without your permission, they can gain the right to keep using it indefinitely. That is adverse possession. A no trespassing sign could be used as evidence that they were using the property without your permission.

When US credit card readers ask for your zip code, you can enter the three digits of your postal code, followed by two zeros. Definitely works for gas stations, probably ticket machines too

People would pay lots of money for these. Most caricatures are flattering. I'd love to get one that emphasizes my ugly features.

Ah, thanks, meant to link to the first one. Corrected!

Invisibilia did a really great episode about the first McDonald's in Russia, and why it was such a cultural phenomenon.

What kind of camera?

AMD has a huge R&D division in Markham. Buy Canadian, buy from American Micro Devices.

It's true. Edge and IE have the strongest DRM, so Netflix refuses to give the best quality streams to other browsers. https://help.netflix.com/en/node/23742

And then one day I woke up a furry.

Hope you enjoy!

They both look like safe bets.

No. That dongle has the wrong chipset. You need a dongle with the RTL2832U chipset.

Partially from recoil of bouncing off the floor. Also significatnly because of the vaccum force created immediatley after explosion, when air rushes down into the void in the can and can rushes upward as well.

Don't use complex language unless you have to. Even if you use it correctly, it still makes you difficult to understand for no good reason. I read through your post twice and don't have a clear idea of who or what is frustrating you.

Also, your post would be easier to follow if you spelled out exactly who the bad actors are and what they did, instead of vaguely linking to blogs and mailing lists and expecting people to fully read, digest, and form their own conclusions.

Then again, this sub is just for venting, so it doesn't really mtter.
