Fun fact: the stainless steel body panels cannot effectively be repaired or refinished to insurance company standards, so if something should happen to even just cosmetically damage one of the main body panels, the entire vehicle is unrepairable and totalled.
This is one of several reasons why the things are extremely expensive and difficult to insure. And, of course, it tells you how to do your part in making them even more expensive and difficult to insure.
I mean … I don’t hate it…
Half of cars today have push-button shifters anyway, and the steering wheel is kind of a fun and novel place to put them.
Or just pirate it when a good cracked copy drops…
Without this bullshit malware, it’s probably running far more efficiently and hitting better, more consistent framerates. So … yes.
Don’t ever pre-order a digital download.
It’s not like they’re going to run out of copies. You can just buy it (or not) when it comes out.
You shouldn’t be getting your electronics wet, anyway.
It’s to be avoided, sure. But sometimes accidents happen. Or sometimes it’s just really humid.
Very cool … but in most cases, I wouldn’t want my circuit boards to be biodegradable. I’d be worried that a bit of accidental moisture or humidity exposure or something is going to leave my electronics rotting away on the inside and lead to premature failure.
Still, though, this could be very good and useful for more short-term or disposable type electronics … though the other components on the board certainly aren’t compostable, so ‘disposable electronics’ should still be something kept to an absolute minimum.
Dale explained that Flock cameras had been instrumental in a To Catch a Predator style sting operation Irmo PD conducted. “During an internet crimes against children operation hosted by a department, 15 adults traveled to our community believing they were coming to meet children for sexual activity," Dale said. “Fourteen of those 15 suspects were not from our jurisdiction.”
This really doesn’t explain how the cameras were useful for that.
Why would you need cameras for that?
And wasn’t China very recently concerned about their birthrate being too high? One Child Policy?
Now they’re already concerned about their birth rate being too low?
The particular form the element is in also matters a lot.
Take helium, for example. Is it really possible to ‘lick’ a gas? I’d say it’s not. You could lick liquid helium, though … and you really shouldn’t, unless you enjoy severe frostbite on your tongue.
Can be a surprisingly effective tactic sometimes.
Just show up for work, start working. Later, complain to HR that you don’t seem to have gotten your onboarding materials, and your first paycheck is late. With a little luck, the HR person will think you were omitted due to an error in the system and they’ll manually add you. And then, congrats – you’ve got a job!
