Pretty sure its a natural gas powered water heater, so that would be the gas supply line. As to the incandesance, no clue.

“This sentence is the epitome of injustice and a dangerous nod to child sexual predators letting them know, ‘No worries, we won’t go too hard on you,’”

This seems like its missing a pretty obvious point. Its not that the judge is going easy on a child rapist. The judge is going easy on a cop, who just so happens to also be a fucking child rapist. This cop, and the judge both deserve to be in jail for the rest of their lives.

That it damn well is. Those rules are written in blood. I’m sad to say I knew people that didn’t follow the rules at place that didn’t care. May they rest in peace.

But … but the already tried to do it? Jan 6?! WTF!

Which I think its important to point out isn’t an endorsement. It means that we in the west should be doing everything we can to enforce our saftey standards on products sold in our countries, and if that isn’t possible then we should be bringing the manufacturing back onshore.

As an addition any company that’s 'too big to fail is also to big to exist and needs to be broken up. Where thats not practicle then it needs to be nationalized and operated as a non-profit/crown corporation.

I’d go as far as Windows 2000. This new XP crap is too shiny, and why did they hide the controls?

Maybe for you. They put windows on cloths machines and people watch the heck out of those, let me watch the dishes clean.

They also fail to mention that the cost of materials today is wildly lower making larger homes easier to achieve. Not to also mention advances in building techniques.

I just want to point out how incredible it is that in today’s age we have this incredible amount of entertainment available. Even if we apply Sturgeons law that’s still a fill years worth of solid games. He’ll, do it twice. That still means there’s at least 5 bangers in that mess, and I find it incredible that most all of that content is recent!

That’s only because you individually have been made responsible for the election. Every one else was at the meeting and didn’t want the job. Good luck, and don’t choose wrong!

As the opposite to this it takes me a solid month to get to a point where getting up for work at 8 doesn’t kill me. It takes all of an afternoon nap to flip back to my preferred sleep pattern of 2am to 10am. I CAN get up early, me and my meatsuit really don’t seem to want to though.

And then promptly leave early because it waits and ‘corrects’ time at a different random stop in the middle of no where? That happens a lot here.

Canada here, paper voting works just fine.

What doesn’t work is when the voting systems are gamed for the benefit of the few, and that can happen with any and all systems.

To quibble, you can’t pop a HID into a reflector housing at all, usually. Halogen and drop in replacement LED have a different focal point than HID bulbs do.

This means if switching to HIDs you also need to replace the entire housing so it will focus the light correctly. No amount of adjustment will be correct if the beam isn’t focused properly.

Don’t comment what a line is doing. Instead, write your code, especially names for variables, constants, classes, functions, methods and so on, so that they produce talking code that needs no comments.

Over and over and over again in my experience this just doesn’t work. Readable code does not substitute for comments about what the code should be doing.

Seconding this, I can’t think of a time that I’ve actually had windows respect my configured update window.

I’d also like to point out how annoying it is that manually hitting the update button doesn’t seem to do anything. If I hit the button I want to dedicate the full system resources to updating right now, not just keep doing what it was doing but add a skinny thing.

Remember that the star trek era was preceded by a nuclear ww3, and the eugenics wars. We still seem to be on track.
