Yea couldn't install gps, then realized the package manager only had maybe 10% of what most gli.net routers have because of the 'special' chip in this one.

Still a great travel router, but had to buy a BerylAX for what I wanted to do with the usb gps.

3) manufacturers placing energy star improvement quotas over safety in programming the cycles.

The energy star stuff isn't unique to US dishwashers though.

Deadweight or no-weight engine is a relatively negligible problem in terms of the weight-balance envelope.

Cut fuel & hydraulic lines near that engine (that affect the other engines/ apus) (or less likely structural or aerodynamic problems) is what's going to shift this from "engine failure" recoverable problem to a global nonrecoverable one.

Was always weird to me how "the French and Indian War" had Indian involvement almost over emphasized to pretend like it wasn't the extension of a European war...

While all the other American conflicts with tons of Indian involvement (both sides, esp civil war) had it downplayed.

One of my first realizations of slant put on history.

It's more properly a campaign of the Seven Years War, which was almost a world war of its time.

>like it wasn't the extension of a European war...

My comment wasn't intended as a "correction", just adding that historians seem to refer to this war by a different name these days. At least in the textbooks I learned from, it was discussed in the context of the Seven Years War.

The French and Indian war began 2 years before the war in Europe. So in a way it was the other way around (of course there were much more important factors than what was effectively an ongoing proxy war in faraway colonies)

Dixie cup / glassware divide will tell you a lot about the type of party, but not always along the lines you might think.

I'm intrigued. Elaborate?

Samsung marketplace on the phone used to have this- now it's just 'don't show this again today' button.

Directional drilling is a game changer and has become accessible in the last decade.

You're looking for advancement in carriages unaware of the 'automobile' that made 5g and ftth deployment at scale possible.

Directional drilling is not a panacea. There are still places where the terrain is too rocky and aerial construction is the only way to control costs.

Overgrazing can be a problem, but undergrazing can be just as big of one.

Healthy pasture requires a certain rhythm/ amount of hoof traffic to stay healthy.

It's why land restoration in the (US) Midwest/West tends to do much better if it includes a reintroduced (managed) grazing component.

And why even wild pasture in Africa typically has a cycle of trample and/or natural burn as part of it's life cycle.

This may or may not apply to previously forested land, depending on what's in-situ, but grazing should be seen just as much as a positive requirement, as overgrazing is seen as a detriment/negative.

Now if your goal is reforestation instead of just healthy pasture or other sustainable ecotype, that's different .

But don't assume just because land can sustain forest, that forest is the 'natural' ecosystem. See: the US history of pasture vs forest. There's more forest now than there was pre-euro settlement.

Much like exercise and muscles or immune systems and exposure. Life thrives on just the right amount of tension or stress . Sedentary is equivalent to tomb.

Canceled mine after ad-free stopped working on YouTube Kids of all things (on ShieldTV). Was probably a bug, but with practically no customer service options, no real solutions besides cancel.

I was also a holdover from a paying Play Music subscriber, and this was shortly after the pita music switchover to youtube, so it was a last straw.

Halfway ready to fist-fight whichever exec drove the death of Play Music. It was a very, very good application, which could have continued to function as such when the platform ended, but they wouldn't even let us have that. I still have them and refuse to uninstall.

Still miss the keyboard on my HTC Tilt2

Indeed. Especially as I get older and my accuracy on a virtual touchscreen keyboard gets worse.
