Some good suggestions in here already but I’ll throw in wynton Marsalis for some classic jazz and pat metheny for some fun jazz guitar

Slightly different but I’ve digging acid jazz recently (sons of kemet, the comet is coming are a couple)

“We've lowered the prices and created flexible payment plans, which will be interest-free. It is quite normal in US sports to be able to pay over a period of time and something that we felt we were missing.”

Wild, don’t think I’ll ever see this as normal

Is the battery removable?

I’m in the upper Midwest (100+ highs and -40 lows) with no garage and keep my e-bike in a shed, but I take the battery inside after each ride and wait for it to reach room temp before charging.

The bike should be fine. The battery may have some issues

When I visited Netherlands it was nice to not have to think about this while going out.

For your question, most people don’t get drunk. An average adult man can process about 1 drink an hour, so 2-3 standard drinks or less spread out over a game should be fine. You also kinda coordinate with your group to make sure someone’s good to drive.

If you’re all planning on getting drunk, you take Ubers. You can also come back in the morning for your car if it was unplanned

It's a productivity technique where you set a timer for some amount of time and work until that timer ends, then you take a break and repeat

Let’s go one step further and make them a gig worker so CVS doesn’t have to pay them for downtime and instead we get to tip

Assuming the company running the service and doing the verification is acting in good faith (big leap here, I get it) couldn’t you verify an identity, store a piece of static information about that person (DL, SSN even tho that sucks) in a hash so that no one else could use that identity to create an account and then issue an account ID with no link to identity marker?

This would allow you to verify users, prevent people from using an ID that was already used, prevent you from being able to link an account to an identity, and prevent you from being able to easily return a list of everyone identified on the service. Best you could do is respond to an individual query on whether that person has verified with your service.

I think it could work technically, but I agree that in practice the US would use its power to make you conduct surveillance without alerting customers, or maybe enact some KYC type requirements for internet usage. This would likely be a first or skipped step on the way to that.

Wtf kind of article is this. This is sponsored content for Apple Vacations. Their name is mentioned four times in the article and they paid for this survey to show that Americans need more vacation

Damn yea I recently got hit in my ten year old jeep cherokee and the estimator was shocked it had a metal rear plate since they’ve been plastic for so long

The stuff in the video makes sense, but what I can never understand is how we choose reference. Like if the space ship is the reference, wouldn’t everything else be moving at the speed of light and therefore slow down instead? Is it safe to assume some universal fixed point that’s everything else is moving around?

 

Made my gf a keyboard for her birthday and she's enjoying it, but is missing light up indicator when caps lock is on. I know this key sucks and I disabled it on mine but she uses it a lot for her job.

The keyset I got her is completely opaque so you can't really see the caps light unless you're right above the keyboard looking at the edges of the caps key.

I took some spare keys of the same shape and drilled holes right above the indicator light and it shines through pretty well, but want to fill it with something clear to make it look nicer/diffract the light a bit. Does anyone have any recommendations? Was thinking about using polyurethane caused I've used it for random other things and seems like it could work.

Thanks!
