Don’t all modern browsers allow you to disable auto-playing of video, even per-site if desired?

Like I get it, they don’t want someone torrenting 100tb of data in a day. That bogs things down.

No, that isn’t accurate and isn’t getting it.

All the data caps today are for total cumulative quantity per billing cycle. That is not a reliable method for controlling what actually bogs things down, which is the bandwidth used at any moment (speed).

Limiting bandwidth is also done by most ISPs today, but that’s not what this is asking to change. The data caps are exclusively a way to charge more.

Filming / photography in public is a First Amendment protected activity.

While I think that the lid can help a little by limiting air exchange, the purpose of these water barriers in fermentation is more to filter out larger objects and they don’t hermetically seal. Exclusion of insects and airborne microbes help prevent undesired flavors. While they do create a slight bit of back-pressure, if the fermentation produces a significant amount of gas they need to let it pass through as stonewear cannot hold much pressure before it would break.

Some people have rigged up carbon filters on the output of various fermentation vessels, so if spouses or apartment neighbors would object to the aroma that approach may be worth investigating. Nobody should let smells stop them without attempting solutions!

No misunderstanding - I get what you’re saying and I disagree.

I also don’t agree that expecting journalists to be accurate makes someone an asshole. If they were reporting on an automobile and wrote that the spark plugs make 500HP we could guess what they likely meant, but we’d also recognize the journalist’s ignorance. They should educate themselves on their subject matter so they can do their job properly.

Sure they do. The gun clubs I’ve joined foster an environment that attracts people who demonstrate care and consideration in all aspects concerning firearms. If someone is lazy and imprecise in the manner in which they communicate about guns, that might also apply to their general demeaner. After speaking with some of these fellows during public range days, it’s not surprising when later they’re shooting holes in the shelter roof or bouncing ricochets off the top of the berm.

Or dummy rounds (aka snap caps), or blanks…

Aah, gotcha. I had thought that

Probably less these days

was in reference to this part at the end of the parent comment:

cars generally float around the 32 psi area

and I haven’t seen anything to contradict all the previous literature on under-inflated automobile tires being worse for fuel economy.

Which type of performance? Surely not fuel economy/emissions?

Shouldn’t the pipeline have failed unless the functional tests passed?

Generalizations that are oversimplified to the point of lacking all nuance are probably untrue because there are bound to be exceptions. Instead, try including ‘many’, ‘most’, or such as an easy remedy.

Specifically, landlords can create value when they handle property management and maintenance (and the related costs) efficiently. It is wrong that greed has made that so rare.

It also doesn’t make any distinction between events that took place where the intended victims were allowed to be armed or not. Of course there will be less instances of armed defenders in areas where arms are prohibited.

OPs premise is akin to the “small government” advocates who ruin government services and then point at how they don’t work.

Ummm

The affidavit does not mention the full list of influencers […]

Well, why not? Name and shame all of them.

FTOP:

keeping a list of more than 2,800 influencers world wide […] to monitor and potentially groom

You want to persecute the victims? These people are being targeted by the Russian state and probably haven’t done anything wrong. They should be protected from that, and also from those who are too quick to judge before they understand the situation.

Tell me you’ve never compiled software from open source without saying you’ve never compiled software from open source.

The only differences between open source and freeware are pedantic, right guys?

Which part was dickish? Was it the ellipsis?

There is no real need to use captured products though, so OP’s question is flawed.

Any desire to use said products (or not) needs to weigh the pros and cons of the captured products vs alternatives.

Or if the fuses apply to too broad of a system, the wireless modem should be able to be disconnected.

Manufacturers like to implement this capability using modules which can be used across their lines of vehicles. Here’s an example for a 2017 Silverado, but you’d want to research service manuals / diagrams for the vehicle you’re considering buying: https://www.silveradosierra.com/threads/2017-silverado-removed-lte-modem.660593/

I’d like to think there is a universe where Nintendo and other companies recognize the value that these add to their brands and proactively issue free licenses to use the IP as a component of how they maintain and enforce rights.

Don’t forget that it’s not ok to vote for your candidate because they don’t already have enough support, therefore there’s no way to ever reach the threshold where it’ll be ok to vote for them.

It’s only ok to vote for the neolibs that the billionaires approve after a promise that nothing’s really going to change.

Even in a state that’s so blue the Dems have no chance of losing, voting for or writing in someone left of the incumbent will still be deemed a vote for the red team.
