I'm reminded of the old saying: When seconds count, the police are only minutes away.

The same would hold true for any third party who isn't physically in your presence at the time of need. You are your primary means of defense, with third parties as a backup...

Yes, they asked for a reminder, not a conversation. Parents have to choose their battles. Demanding non-standard behaviour in order to do a required parenting thing like helping your child remember stuff is a really stupid hill to die on!

Texts are less important than email, and less urgent than a phone call. It's ridiculous to think it's rude not to reply, especially for kids who probably get 5-10 texts an hour.

If something's important enough to you that you want a definite response eventually, send an email. If it requires immediate communication, call. Don't apply false rules of politeness just to get a response out of your kid!

 

It looks enormous! I can't even begin to tell you the sheer breadth of disciplines you'll see there. Leatherworking, welding, chainsaw wood milling, blacksmithing, sewing, glassblowing, jewelrymaking, silversmithing, resin-building, timber-framing, knifemaking, machining, woodworking, plasma cutting...

OK, it turns out I could and did begin to tell you. Never mind, just look at the schedule (https://catskillmountainmakerscamp.com/maker-camp-2023...) and demonstrators (https://catskillmountainmakerscamp.com/demonstrators).

I'll support Senators not having a dress code when there isn't one for anyone else working in Congress...

See the other answers for why this isn't really right, but given 4 dimensional spacetime, if that 'pixel' did exist, it would look like a hypercube/tessaract. A constantly stretching and twisting but approximate one, anyway.

The general rule is identification every 15 minutes or at the end of an exchange. Only one person in the exchange has to identify, if they're all on the same license.

Your family can use them use them just like they do FRS units. Within your conversation, use normal names, "unit numbers", or nothing at all as you will, then you just have to throw in station identification once in a while...

Imagine how amazing the PR would have been if the title had been: "User gets spectator seating for a SpaceX launch in return for lost handle"

Coming from the viewpoint that the greatest threat to free markets is the artificial beings created by government called "corporations", I fully believe that some form of IP, appropriately time-limited and only licensable, not transferable, is a perfectly valid way to protect individual human creators, but that it cannot be granted to anything other than natural human citizens.

It's not about prevention of use by others, it's about prevention of monetization by others...

I can often dig into the source and quickly figure out what's broken.

And for the 99.9% of humanity for whom that is either impossible, or a dreadful slog,

On Windows, I'm usually shit outta luck. Gotta trawl through tons of messy forums and bullshit SEO-optimised blogspam sites

How can one set the Connect app such that the main feed only shows posts to subscribed communities?

I feel like this should be easy/I must be stupid...
