Ah, yet another example of a switch statement being "AI".

France and the UK? What about Germany?

Almost makes me want to try an Apple Watch. I've been using Android Wear devices since the original Moto 360, but I've been really dissatisfied with what Google has done with Wear recently.

Battery powered chainsaws are definitely a thing and actually work pretty well, even on medium sized trees. Not needing hearing protection is a huge benefit in my opinion.

At o e point I was switching between Windows and macOS computers on a daily basis. One way to ease the pain of control vs command is to remap your caps lock key to command in macOS and to control in Windows.

I have to wonder what the actual parameters are to end up being flagged in this way. I feel like I'm fairly liberal in returning things to Amazon and the painlessness of returns is really one of the primary motivators behind ordering from Amazon for me.

I've purchased around 1700 items and spent around $56,000 at Amazon since 2006. Of those I've returned a total of 90 items.

I learned a new trick on this today. Try appending the URL to this: http://facebook.com/l.php?u=

What about becoming an e-resident of Estonia?

Sure would be nice to have a gun to protect yourself when the police aren't able to.

I disagree with your interpretation. Here is the exact verbage you are referencing from the AMA:

A spotter should be used to assist in monitoring the surrounding airspace for manned aircraft whenever a flight is expected to exceed 400 feet above the ground and that operation is expected to be in proximity to known manned aircraft traffic such as at a mixed-use facility or within three miles of an airport. The spotter must have sufficient visual acuity and be mature enough to take this responsibility very seriously.

So unless you are operating at a mixed-use facility or within three miles of an airport, you do not need a spotter to fly a model aircraft above 400ft AGL.

> staying below 400 feet

As someone that has spent a lot of time flying model sailplanes, I want to point out that there is no regulation which prevents a hobbyist from flying above 400ft AGL, as long as you abide by the guidelines established by the AMA or another "nationwide community-based organization".

The FAA boils everything from section 336 (the "Special Rule for Model Aircraft") as follows:

- Fly for hobby or recreation ONLY

- Register your model aircraft

- Follow community-based safety guidelines and fly within the programming of a nationwide community-based organization Fly a model aircraft under 55 lbs. unless certified by a community-based organization

- Fly within visual line-of-sight

- Never fly near other aircraft

- Notify the airport and air traffic control tower prior to flying within 5 miles of an airport

- Never fly near emergency response efforts

Why this over something like the HP Prime?

Except reducing speed limits really don't change the speed at which people drive.

Actually, I think you'll find that people just really like the way meat tastes.

I completely disagree. I think the current MBP keyboard is one of the most satisfying laptop keyboards I've ever typed on. The minimal travel takes some time to get used to but I love how tactile it is. This is coming from someone that spends most of their time typing on Cherry MX green or clear switches.

This is fantastic.

This is made a lot worse at Amazon because of the commingling of stock from different sellers.

One of the most 'magical' experiences I've ever had using Google Assistant was the following exchange:

Me: "Okay Google, What's the latest album by Death Cab For Cutie?" Google: "The latest ablum by Death Cab For Cutie is Kintsugi"

Me: "Okay Google, Play the album Kintsugi on Spotify" Google: "Okay, asking to play Kintsugi. [album starts playing]"

Here's a very interesting link I came across from December of 2015, which claims:

“The MoD can confirm that Windows XP will not be used by any onboard system when the [HMS Queen Elizabeth] becomes operational,” the spokesman added. “This also applies to HMS Prince of Wales.”
