Try beef bacon. Not quite the same flavor, and tends to be a tad stringy at times, but very good taste, less cholesterol and very little wasted grease.
And if it knows your distance from two separate towers, then bingo.
Actually, not quite. There's always a little bit of uncertainty in the distance measurements so what you get from two towers is a little blob containing your location. Using three towers cuts the size of the blob down to almost nothing for all practical purposes, such as having paramedics find you. That's why they call the process "triangulation."
Maybe the old-style anti-aircraft weapons can be brought back into action.
That was my first thought too. Put a bunch of 20mm machine guns on proper mounts and the drones will have a hard time getting through, especially when you consider that unlike WW II bombers, drones don't try to take evasive action.
When I was in the Navy back in '72, I ran across a manual that described, among other things, a 16" turret. If memory serves, a bombardment round weighed 2200#, of which 500# were HE, and the rest was there to hold it together until impact. I don't think that shrapnel was a consideration, because I don't remember it being mentioned. Armor Piercing was far heavier, weighing in at 2700# with a 150# bursting charge, and most of the mass devoted to a thick nose that used momentum to force its way through armor before the delayed action fuse set off the charge. Of course, this was artillery, and the shells had to withstand the stresses of being fired. In a drone, all you need is enough plastic or cardboard to keep the charge from falling apart before the drone takes off.
That's why we have the home owners clear the brush. Of course, if fire season comes before they get around to it, it doesn't help, but that's how it's intended to work.
Actually, here in Southern California, home owners are responsible for clearing off the brush around their house, even if the brush is on public land. And, if they don't, the city or county will come in, clear the brush and charge the home's owner. Of course, that's only done once a year, so there's often dry brush waiting to be cleared and that can easily burn. And, as far as controlled burns go, they do get done when conditions are right, but tend to get put off during droughts to avoid having them get out of hand.
You might try reading my comment again and making an effort to understand it. I made no judgment, no complaints. I only mentioned what my first thought was when I saw the name.
I have no idea which one (if any) the developer had in mind. I do know that the plantation was the first association I made, and within about three seconds, so did Tara's Theme from the movie. Judging from other comments here, quite a few other commentators made the same association, regardless of what was intended.
If you'll just RTFS (This is Slashdot; I don't expect you to RTFA.) you'll see that it's the first time in 150 years that there will be an eclipse of a Blue Moon.
Does that number in TFS include dupes or not. And, does whatever picks the random story take dupes into account? There might be some small point to this if the dupes are filtered out, but if not, there's too much of a chance that when you reload the page, you'll just get a different copy of the same story.
Running it from the airport to the strip in the first place would have been best. There are lots of people who go to Vegas, check in at a hotel on the strip and spend their entire stay without visiting any other casino. Having it go behind the casinos probably wasn't their first choice, but they may not have been able to get permission to cross in front. Even so, if riders are only using it to get to and from the airport, the inconvenient stations might not have been an issue.
I used to do tech support for an ISP, and I had to deal with issues like this every day. Just to get a response from your ISP's router, your packet has to go up to orbit and back. Twice. That can add quite a bit to your response time. However, given the choice between that and no connection at all, it's something that can be lived with.
I live in Camarillo, in Ventura County, and saw both the frozen lightning and the rocket. Actually, my sister and I saw two different lights, drifting toward the west. No pictures, though, as we were too busy to get out our phones.
Not like Linux needs to shoot its reputation in the foot.
You do understand, don't you, that Ubuntu != Linux. I run Fedora, and there's been no mention of this particular issue affecting Fedora, even though it's always very big on pushing out new kernels as quickly as possible. I don't know if either distro modifies the kernel before making it available, or if this isn't in the kernel itself but some support module, but AFAICT it's distro-specific. I do hope, of course, that it gets cleared up quickly.
It's also convenient for high-level execs who have to turn up at the funeral of a worker who died of overwork even though the exec never met the worker, doesn't care but doesn't want to lose face by ignoring the incident.
If you think that someone sitting in car during a funeral is disrespectful, then you will have to teach them.
Generally I've found that telling somebody, "Just do what everybody else is doing." is enough, unless there's something special that's not for outsiders, or needs explaining.
Sometimes people feel that they need to say goodbye in person, and looking at a closed coffin just doesn't work for them. I'm not one of them, so I can't explain it, but I do know that there are those who find viewing the deceased's corpse finds it easier to let go.
You really need to take a good look at a map. Eight hours of driving south will only get you to LA, several hours north of the border. If you want to steal cars to sell in Mexico, do it in Beverly Hills, or Palm Springs.
Submarines, then and now, are designed to keep pressure out; spacecraft are designed to keep it in. Completely different design problems requiring different classes of solutions.
This doesn't solve anything. At best, all it does is force the homeless people to move to some other section of sidewalk in front of somebody else's business.
I'm a retired 'Nam vet, 30% disabled, all Service Connected. My cat and my sister's dog are both rescued from the local Animal Shelter. And, I've seen the problems the homeless can cause by squatting in a neighborhood, and they're not pretty. However, using robots to chase them away isn't the answer, because it just leads to people smashing the robots to defend whatever little speck of space they're trying to use to sleep, that leads to the police coming in and it just gets worse and worse. What's the answer? I don't know, but I do know that this isn't it.
I find it remarkably hypocritical that the SPCA of all organizations is chasing homeless people away from their local headquarters. Don't they realize that people are animals too, and deserving of at least the same caring and consideration that they'd give to homeless cats or dogs? Do they think that horses and cattle are deserving of their attentions but homeless humans aren't?
Much simpler is to build the wall along the property line, so that these obstructive plots are on the Mexican side, with no access for the owners without crossing the border and coming in from the south. Then, make sure they pay all of the property taxes for the land they can't use.

The figures I quote were what I remember reading in an official USN manual. Where did you get yours?

One would hope so. Of course, if you're not planning to remain in the jurisdiction with the car, this might not be much of a problem.
Close enough to Mexico.

Just think about a WWI submarine ...
