At this point It is change for the sake of change. It is annoying. If you have a collection of nice analog clocks it is a PITA plus additional wear on them. Even half the modern digital clocks still need changing. It interferes with sleep rhythms. I don't care, just stick with one or the other and we won't have to be bothered with this ever again.
Yes, they both pick up once a week, on the same day. Around here you must choose which trash collection company you want to use as it is not part a government utility, so there are not just two trucks per week, but two from my chosen company and at least one for my neighbor's chosen company - I see 4 trucks come around every tuesday.. It's quite a waste.
Save the environment by running twice as many fuel burning trucks to pick it up... Every bill increase is blamed on 'increased recycling costs'... The whole thing is a mess and a boondoggle.
The one at the Zoo probably has a bird chained to the panel constantly trying to get away, all that flapping blows the snow off the panel and powers a nearby wind turbine.
That's a lot of land - and maintenance costs will only increase for each year of use. What do we do at night, or does this 256 square miles form a continuous band around the earth?
The writer wanted the reader to wrongfully conclude that women were once again somehow slighted. Carefully chosen words to make it sound biased for click-bait purposes, I suppose.
Every grocery store in my area has a self-checkout option. It is usually faster if a) the cashier lines are 2-3 people deep, b) you know what you are doing, and c) the machine actually works properly.
c) is the current problem I encounter, which usually is 'unexpected item in bagging area' due to a slight variance in an item's weight or the scale itself that weighs all your bagged items is unreliable particularly if you have to shift the bags around to make room.
Yea this isn't truly cashier-less like picking up whatever you want and just walking out but honestly it is good enough for me and the store manages to reduce 8 cashiers down to the 1 that oversees all the self checkout lines.
-Can't wait for Amazon's grocery to be infiltrated by knockoff and gray market food!
That is what happens when you use a consumer product for commercial purposes. If you want something that lasts, only buy products that retain their warranty under commercial use.
The whole point is to look like you care all while in reality few in government really gives a damn, and those that do are too small in number to accomplish anything. I don't know if term limits would help to flush out the constipated career politicians, but it would be a great start. Then do something about corporate lobbyists.....
A time when you can stand on your ethical anti-combat high horse. But please consider there was a time when this was not possible, and then thank your grandparents.
Cmon, you could have looked almost all of this up in the time it took to post. But for the unworldly types, a lorry is known as a tractor trailer or semi truck in the US.
A queue is a line - they had to wait in line, from this I have determined that english isn't your native language.
We should be shocked that an extension for a web browser needs access to the web you are browsing! Now if it needed access to my left shoe's firmware I might start to worry...
You can't escape them because their trackers are on way too many websites. Eventually your web browser's fingerprint will get into the system as well as everything that fingerprint did, like online purchases, searches, forum participation (real forums, not social media soapboxes), websites you visit, etc. They may not initially know who that fingerprint belongs to, but cross reference it with purchases / website visits / etc and they now know who you are even if you never went on their main sites.
This is why data amalgamation is big business, and why consumers that begin to understand this are getting annoyed.
I dunno, there are a lot of anti-stalking laws around this country... Finding one that applies would make some lawyer very rich and famous. A few high priced civil suits should do it, no need to 'shut them down'.
Glad I am not the only one that found the article absolutely useless since they offer nothing about electric. How about instead of suggestions like opening windows or running fans they actually test whether cooking with electric would make a significant difference.
They are cooking with gas. I bet electric ovens/cooktops don't put out exhaust from burning fossil fuels.... Notice they didn't even bother to compare to an electric setup - an article like this absolutely needs to compare gas vs. electric otherwise WTF IS THE POINT?.
Seriously, this is something that would have bean an excellent joke article merely 10 years ago. Now it is reality - man, upper echelon first world problems.
So far, it has only been 'successfully' exploited in tightly controlled lab conditions. If you ask me, and no one did, it has been a way overblown risk by researchers; then fixes were hurriedly attempted with way too little testing; now researchers are saying 'it is still not fixed' and 'it can't be fixed', once again blowing the actual risk for us simple consumers way out of proportion.
In the server and cloud world there might be a legitimate risk at some point, once we actually see an exploit in the wild then It would be time to panic - until then those of us using computers for single user tasks are burdened with all this FUD and slower performance unless we actively turn off the (according to researchers) still broken mitigation.
If you can wait to buy until you need instead of want, that is always prudent for computer upgrades.

Nah just up your fov to 360 and your resolution down to 1x1, guaranteed hit!

That's great until the water freezes, snow covers the solar panels, and the wind is calm. It's always nice to keep a reliable back-up.
By the way, there's no long-term waste storage yet.
Still better that the long-term waste storage for fossil fuels, our atmosphere.
Color me disappointed.
Pretty sure the Abacus is vulnerable to the table shake attack. Also anyone walking by can see your current value.

There is one W3C approved password-free login standard.
There are many open standards.
Context matters.

FFS, it's worse than the terminology switch from 1080p to 4k. I bet USB cables will be really fun to shop for, because it is so easy now, oh wait..

As for Norwich, well the article is down (slashdotted, haha?) But once again a search gives the event details: Royal Norfolk Showground Arena - Norwich - United Kingdom
