Alright alright alright

Caprice (or Taurus?) police car and fingerless glove really date this photo.

Probably because it was an affluent school. In a school with more poor kids, stuff like this is their little chance at feeling higher status than their peers even though it’s all imaginary based on marketing.

It’s that thing your sweat does to your body.

the thing some people put on their bed during the day to prevent dust.

I’ve never heard or something like this. How dusty would a bed get after 12 hours?

My office gets like that with 2 desktops running, a Pi4, NVR, and 3D printer. Its typically 5-10 degrees hotter in there based off my IoT temp sensors I have in each room.

You may be conflating this with adding lanes to the freeway which doesn’t reduce freeway congestion since it’s all rush hour based traffic, but I fail to see how adding more lanes in a city wouldn’t reduce congestion for people who live there. If you have 1000 cars they’ll fit more densely in 3 lanes than they would in a single lane since they can drive in parallel to the other vehicles.

Yeah the rapid pace of technological innovation these days is really astounding at times.

I broke down and googled it and it’s a reusable menstrual cup, so I think my guess was the closest.

Depends on how far you throw it.

Like a Frisbee?

What do you classify as independent?

Unless your Blu-ray player can’t phone home to verify the license on your disc in which case it stops working.

With the few stations near me that have them, the mute button is the 2nd down from the top on the right side of the screen.

Just get a bigger combination air fryer/toaster oven. They’re a total game changer and way more efficient than using your kitchen oven. I haven’t found a frozen pizza yet that won’t fit inside ours, there’s almost zero preheating time, and the air fryer portion works great for fries, tots, nuggets, etc.

I definitely recall reading an article on /r/Futurology about breakthroughs in Hot Pocket technology about a decade ago. Seems those advances have finally made their way to the production line and the sleeves are now no longer required.

Comcast has done some wizardry to finally allow decent upload speeds as of late. For years I’ve had 900Mbps down and 15Mbps up but with whatever upgrade they’ve done, I’m now at 900/200 which is decent enough. I honestly don’t even need all this download bandwidth and would be happy with 500/500 but most people aren’t running media servers and hundreds of torrents so they don’t dedicate much to upload bandwidth.

Technology has continued to progress but I think many cable providers are capping at around 100 mbps. I could be wrong.

I think most are offering as high as 1-2Gbps (asymmetrical) with cable. That’s what Comcast is offering in our area. With 100Mbps CenturyLink DSL being the only alternative.
