And here I'm wondering where a 2012 Toyota Supra came from

Not stupid, just too many years on the internet. I thought the same thing at first glance.

Or, as they were called then, kids. This modern stranger danger and always track your kids is insane, everyone be living like the sky is falling every ten seconds.

Haha I call that warp snow. It's fun game of hope you know the road as well as you think you do and that nothing or no one is in front of you.

The Sandlot and the Little Rascals are every neighborhood's worst nightmare.

Be careful with that, it could make you a target for a visit

Or they could just store the data locally on the user's device and not transmit it back to a central server, such that the company never even has possession of the data nor any way to retrieve it? Like I get it would require a major rewrite if they weren't already doing this, but at least they'd be keeping their users safe while also having no way for authorities to gain any data.

It's worth remembering that much of his wealth is likely tied up in the stock market, so he is probably sitting on a number of vouchers towards a pile of gold, in a addition to the swimming pool at home that he Scrooge McDuck swims in.

I want to say it was a clause of the FCC's Fairness Doctrine, wherein newscasters were legally required to present information on events and political matters as unbiased as possible on publicly-issued airwaves. It lost a lot of its steam when cable became commonplace, as cable networks were technically closed-circuit systems, and then it went out the door with the internet. On top of which, stations like Fox News claiming to be entertainment and not news stations helped their cause. The original idea was that if the FCC was to grant you a broadcast license, you were obliged to operate in the interest of the public, and the doctrine expressly forbade operating for personal gain.

Used existing pool panel on left, added contactor box on right. Left two contactors control pool and spa circ pumps and always on (no variable speed or hi/low legs on motor), coil controlled by emergency shutoff. Right contactor controls spa jet pump, activated by twist timer and same emergency shutoff. Spa jets are run through the right time clock to allow usage from 7am to 10pm. Left time clock is for lighting.

 

Our morning safety meeting definitely didn't involve us watching the apprentice look for the wire stretcher.

Electronic racking system; story goes that the previous guys didn't seem to like how it seated, so this was their 'solution.' Yes, those are 4x4s and a bottle jack.
