There's a website that condenses huge TOS's for popular services down into plain language: https://tosdr.org/
It also gives them a letter grade (A-E), based on how fair the TOS is to the user. DuckDuckGo gets an A, Wikipedia gets a B, PornHub gets a D, Reddit gets an E.

>the technology actually wasn’t designed for chairs. It’s part of Nissan’s intelligent parking assist technology, which is being developed for hands-free parking.
>“This is a very useful function, not only for those who are bad at parking, but also for skillful drivers who are tired and less focused after a long drive,” says one of the developers in the promotional video.

When I was a kid (1960s) I owned an air bazooka, about 2.5' long with a pump action. I remember sitting on my front steps and shooting at the trees across the street, causing quite a disturbance in the leaves. That was about 80' or so. It was loud, too. Fun!
Edit to add this - it looked just like this: https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=JuURPzoi&id=966713E0AB0A927E6E3A6E1A57E8EF42FDBDE784&q=Air+Bazooka+1960s&simid=608048941093225878&selectedindex=19&mode=overlay&first=1&thid=OIP.JuURPzoi7Gm0UerH...
This is the best I can do. All the dimensions are estimates but it seemed to work when I tried it on my own printer.

>You see, severing one of the Bloodwood tree's branches results in the same kind of effect you might find if you chopped off a person's limb. Upon receiving damage, the tree releases a deep crimson sap that looks alarmingly like human blood. In fact, its sole purpose is to coagulate and seal wounds, much like our own blood does.
My mom had that same problem with email drafts getting deleted (WHY google has a confirmation for send or delete but not for discard draft, I will never know dear God), I've started using - with her permission - a chrome plugin called typio form recovery. It basically captures everything she writes on Chrome locally, and then you can recover to a given page for a user set amount of time. It of course has blacklists of sites you don't want it to work on.
It's made my it life a lot easier, helping her recover drafts on a number of occasions. Also a similar app for android type machine, except this works across the entire device.
Again, both of these are functionally keyloggers. Beware of using them if your device is used on a corporate network, and of course is only is legal if you use it with the full consent and explanation to whoever's device it is.

Yep. Gingrich lobotomized congress, too. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/newt-gingrich-congress-expert-knowledge-_b_1118297
This created a state where congress relies on industry and philanthropy for it's expertise on issues as well as funds for election. Because those who fund such things are likely to be more invested and partisan the more $$ they give/fund, the more partisan and extreme the politicians they choose. It self-selects for those individuals/entities who have the most passionate and extreme goals/views. You don't pump that kind of cash into something unless you feel like you have to.
Good idea.

Fascinating video- at first, I thought the car was caught in a railing for the gate. Front suspension looks weak before getting stuck, and once atop the incline, the front tires are all the way up in the wheel well. I'm guessing they need new/stronger springs up front.

I have one, and it does work pretty well. The bag you carry it in is the same material. However if you are on a beach with rougher sand that has a lot of tiny pebbles, or sea shells, it will not filter them. Also, if the mat gets really wet sand tends to stick, but as it dries (and it does so quickly), it's fine. Works really well on beaches that have fine sand and they are extremely durable. I am surprised I don't see more people with them when I go to the beach.
Edit: Here's a link to one on amazon. They come in various sizes and aren't that cheap. There is a product video on amazon that shows it being used as a landing mat for helicopters in dusty, sandy areas. Pretty sweet.
Okay but hear me out... we all know the health benefits of honey, and it turns out that blue mnm dye can help heal spinal injuries. What if the bees have invented something powerful?
Here's the tool with packs of "pop" rivets that you can find on Amazon. Basically the rivet end get's pushed through a pilot hole to fasten two pieces of metal where you can't get access to the rear to screw on a nut. The pliers type tool grabs the nails and pulls the rivet up against a small anvil. This pressure eventually deforms the soft aluminum rivet as the head of the nail gets pulled into the thick heart of the rivet. When the head of the nail is wedged tightly against the rear plate, the pressure breaks the nail off flush with the front plate.
theres this thing i found on amazon, not sure if there is a specific genre for it but if you search flashlight/shadow/lightbeam books on amazon or something you'd find some choices. i hope you find a good one for your kid!
Imma say that this is false :
> Bees do not urinate because they have to hold onto as much water in their bodies as possible. Instead, they release liquid waste in the form of uric acid. > > Uric acid contains very little water, so it is safe for the bee to get rid of. Insects such as bees produce waste in an organ called Malpighian tubules, which are the insect version of kidneys. Ammonia and uric acid travel to the insect's gut where it is mixed with other waste products before being expelled from the body. > > The amount of uric acid a bee expels is very small, so it is usually hard to see. The uric acid from a bee is white and looks like a bird feces.
Most all other sources agree that uric acid (and sometimes pollen grains) are the only waste products of bees and that the acid is white and contains little liquid.
EDIT: maybe I'm wrong, though id on;t think this is "urinating" seems there is something to it though.

No it's not. The building is mostly condos but if you want to stay there an Airbnb only costs $185 a night.
Adding trees to a building incurs significant upfront and ongoing costs. From the extra concrete to support the weight to making sure that they don't fall down and kill people. Maintaining trees like that is going to take more than a couple low wage laborers could provide.
Certainly cool though and if could afford to live in a building like that I would. But if it is going to be widespread, than it needs to save more than it costs. I'm not sure we really have enough data yet to say that the costs are worth it.

To my knowledge, Michelangelo himself did not paint this image of Heraclitus.
Raphael depicted Heraclitus as Michelangelo due to the similarities between their personalities. Both were supposedly moody but brilliant figures for their time.
Vasari claims that Bramante let Raphael see the Sistine Chapel while it was still a work in progress. Raphael painted Heraclitus as Michelangelo afterward in honor of the artist.

Nope! Velocities don't add the way you think they do. At low speeds (and really also at what we consider high speeds, like say 40 000 mph) they appear to add like w = u + v, but to get exact results you need to use special relativity. When the speeds start approaching something like 20% of the speed of light, the errors you get by simple additions are getting large.
Play around with this calculator a bit. I recommend having the units set to c, i.e. fractions of the speed of light.
For example: if you travel at 0.5 c and shine a flashlight, that light moves at 0.5 c + 1 c = 1 c.
If you travel at 0.8 c and fire a projectile forward at 0.5 c, it travels at 0.8 c + 0.5 c = 0.9286 c relative to you.

> being able to win in a turning fight is going to be important
Turning fights are starting to become irrelevant. If you get close enough to be in one with a modern fighter, the odds are that you will both die. From the report I link.
> Once both aircraft have “launch and leave” missiles in the air, prospects are good that the short-range engagement will result in “mutual kills,” with short-range combat kill ratios near 1:1. This suggests we may have reached a point in the development of short-range air combat technologies where serious, capable adversaries will attempt to avoid it and instead seek advantage in superior BVR capabilities.
