Cool. I always wanted a My Little Pony AR.

Maybe The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas, by Ursala McGuin?

It was a great try, visually stunning and true to the overall feel of the book, but it didn’t have a very cohesive story. They tried to cover too much ground. It would have been better if they had just stuck to the first book.

They teased a sequel at the end of the movie.

I’m just waiting for canned bread.

Schlage makes a keyless entry lock that isn’t strictly “smart” (no wifi or Bluetooth) but is pretty well made and as secure as any common deadbolt lock. I have two and have been using them for several years with no problems. I can’t remember the model but they are in the $100 price class and most major hardware outlets have them.

As others have said, I’d stay away from any kind of fully remote lock.

I was never gruntled in the first place.

I have a landline, I hear a dial tone every time I pick up the phone.

He doesn’t just test them, he tests them exhaustively and (in shade tree fashion) scientifically.

Community colleges often hire teachers solely based on applicable experience. For K-12, teaching without a degree may be possible depending on the demand and where you live.

Totally agree. For-profit platforms won’t exist if they can’t generate revenue, either from ads or subscriptions. If I use a commercial offering I expect to pay for it.

If you use the platform and sidestep paying, you’re just foisting the expense off on paying customers.

I like Jabra.

Precise time came to humanity with the railroad. Until then no one cared very much about whether it was 11:35 PM or “around midnight” or “way past bedtime.” Train timetables were the first thing that made minutes matter to the general public.

Mariners cared about time and preferred to be as precise as possible, but did pretty well telling local time by the stars. Finding longitude was a problem until good clocks came aling though.

We do, it’s called Universal Coordinated Time. The time is now 00:37 UTC, or 16:37 Pacific Daylight Savings Time.

My mother has been dead for many years, so now I can safely say that she was an awful cook. I still can barely eat vegetables.

It’s not on a browser as such. I use the Google News app on my phone. I can’t believe it would block anything at all.

The ad blocker fight is getting really strange. I don’t use a blocker, but this morning I couldn’t read an article on google news without disabling my ad blocker which I don’t have.

Maybe overpopulation is a factor?

Rheostats are two wire devices, think of them as current controlling. Potentiometers are three wire devices, typically used as voltage dividers. They are not the same.

I’m going to be a challenge. Please be patient with me, and with each other.
