Oh America, what will you think up next?

Only time my dad ever had to check them was when the cleaning service repeatedly ‘forgot’ to clean the 2 bedrooms at the end of the hall. Only weirdos constantly monitor them.

Fwiw, pi zeros have USB host & device/gadget modes, but I doubt a zero would have enough power to do what you need

Seems like there was more reporting on their clothing choice than on the person themselves.

It’s where the term borked comes from

I’d bet the resale value on the rolls Royce is better than the Nissan

The problem with #1 is that most garages only have one circuit for the outlets AND the garage door opener. Moving to 240v would fry the opener.

Long live the Queen

He’s on float plane. I think he’s trying to make a living, so I’d assume YouTube ad revenue is a factor

I was thinking Tulsa/greenwood when I wrote the comment, but move/philly was in the back of my mind

trump can’t just bomb downtown LA

I wish I could believe this.

False. Arch is quite obviously a goatse.

Oh, I like that! I just use the dial tone so they think they disconnected, but they end up calling back a few times before they stop.

If you derive deeper you get snap, crackle, and pop.

They give out free license for their data, but require following their terms of service.

hybrid/electric cars already do it with regen braking.

Not all of them. It is becoming more common, but for a while Hyundai and Kia didn’t do this, and I know my older Ford doesn’t.

Probably just in the US, since brake lights are only required when pressing the brake pedal. Mercedes illuminates them but then turns the brake lights off once the vehicle comes to a stop using regen.

Faster blink is already used to indicate that one of the lights is burned out. It’s a consequence of the mechanical part that operates (used to operate) the blinking; less resistance caused by a burned out light means it blinks faster

They also indicate slow moving road hazards like a semi carrying an oversized load

In the US about 5-10% of people are “self-employed” and have access to all their pre-tax income.

Essentially a single employee business, they are required to withhold their own taxes from their earnings, including the employment taxes normally paid by the employer, etc. which is an additional 15.5% on top of the progressive income tax.

Aside from that, in the US there are forms you fill out at the beginning of employment which determine how much is to be withheld. While they can be updated at any time, it’s not always done promptly. Divorce or death of a dependant child could increase how much is withheld.

Do they get paid in the off-season, or are there a set number of paid weeks per year?
