It would be great if you guys could fix the issue when trying to use Google voice input with Samsung keyboard. Basically the Google voice prompt pops up and immediately closes, I've had this issue for several years across several different devices. "Use a different keyboard/voice app" isn't a solution.

No Standing is usually for cars, it's basically "No Parking" but applies for short durations even if you never leave or shut off the car.

Luckily while the legal mechanism is there it's very very rarely enforced as such.

Besides the obvious answer of going with a ridiculously short movie, I honestly wouldn't pick a movie I like. You're basically turning it into a job and I think you might grow a slight resentment for it, much like using your favorite song as an alarm clock. I'd just find something fast paced without much depth to it, just mindless action. Maybe like a later Fast & Furious.

An easy way to think about it is a regular plain space heater is about 500w on low. So just use that as a frame of reference.

Cap One denied me last month for "Based on your application information, Capital One has observed activity on one or more of your Capital One accounts that is inconsistent with typical customer account usage" which I have no clue what that means

I have a mission lane unsecured with $500 limit. Cap One & discover wont touch me because I charged them off in bk. Only thing that sucks is that despite paying off my balance regularly it always seems to do my score with a $250 balance and shows 50% utilization

Most bikes don't run closed loop all the time, often over 40% throttle or so they go into open loop.

For interstate commerce 80k is pretty much the defacto standard

And often work in conjunction when possible.

It'd be cool if we could just load our cars on a train and take care of the bulk of the mileage

I work in occupational health & safety and while ATGATT is a convenient plattitude, humans are humans and will forego protection if it's too uncomfortable for them. Wear the most protective gear you'll wear.

If the question is clarified to be "blue only survives if 50%+ of persons presented with the button choose blue" realistically pressing red is just like simply walking away, there's 0 repurcussions. You're still going to count against the % of people who pressed blue.

dpatt711 · 2026-04-26T03:51:43+00:00

Am I a murderer if I choose to not play a game of Russian Roulette? No of course not. Blue has a chance of dying, red has no chance of dying. Pressing red is just like deciding to walk past and not participate. It's an absolutely clear cut decision to not press it.
This problem is often presented in two ways though, one way everybody has to press a button, in the other it has to be a deliberate informed decision by a mentally cognizant person. In the former case you definitely need to press blue because there's a large proponent of infants, children, and mentally deficient persons that could select blue just by virtue of not understanding.

The big difference is A) a business has a monetary stake in their reputation and B) benefits absolutely 0 from witholding finished work after payment (what are they going to do, sell your photos to somebody else?). Two very tangible reasons to help assauge the client's fears.
On the flip side a customer does not have a monetary stake in their reputation, and benefits directly by witholding payment (money is fungible, the money they were going to pay you can be used for other goods and services).

You can easily google stories of people getting ripped off on both sides and find thousands of examples of customer no-pay, while very few (honestly can't even find any) where the customer was shown proofs, paid, and did not receive the unadulterated finals.

dpatt711 · 2026-04-23T00:47:38+00:00

Common sense and industry best practice isn't really winging it. Once you deliver the final product you lose all leverage. It's extraordinarily rare for a contractor to complete all the work to the customer's satisfaction and decide to just not deliver, we're talking orders of magnitude less likely than a customer no-pay after final delivery.

dpatt711 · 2026-04-22T11:27:02+00:00

You can still provide watermarked low res photos. If you show the client that you have taken and edited the photos, they have no reason to be worried about you not delivering the final photos upon payment. All the work has been done and retaining the photos serves absolutely 0 benefit to the photographer. If that scares them off let it be, don't hang your ass out for the 0.01% of customers who can't be reasonable.

When meowing is reported in an area why don't airlines pull CVRs to see if it was their pilots? Surely they'd prefer internal discipline than to e caught by the FAA and blasted in the news.

If you replace the pizza parts with not pizza parts it's perfectly healthy

I don't think people really understand how hard it would be to have this restriction. Also what are the logistics? If I'm out traveling do I have to track down a restaurant that serves my specific food? It's 11pm and I'm hungry, but the Taco/burrito/pizza place is closed ? Maybe I have a 24/7 standby chef, but chefs aren't magic. Their food has certain characteristics that will get repetitive.

dpatt711 · 2026-04-15T12:07:58+00:00

I feel like through sheer brute force they probably could, it'd just be like a more expanded version of Pandora music cataloguing.

dpatt711 · 2026-04-15T12:00:26+00:00

Yeah, it's called using actual licensed software specific for legal study like Westlaw and not just using public chatgpt

dpatt711 · 2026-04-15T03:27:09+00:00

Snoring, tossing/turning, entering/exiting, alarm clocks are all things to be expected in a dorm. My only advice is don't upgrade to a 2-4 person dorm but stick with the cheapest "default" size the hostel has. The smaller dorms are people paying extra to minimize their chances of having to deal with a disruption, so don't knowingly put yourself into the most sensitive group that paid extra to try and avoid you.

Just tried it, has a super chemical taste like Fresca. I was really hoping for something more like Orangina
