I helped my friend set this up back in the day so he could have WoW running on one computer and the wiki open on the other. IIRC he didn't have enough RAM on his main computer so running FireFox in the background tanked his FPS.

At least under CA law they do have to prove intent for shoplifting.

>Shoplifting is defined as entering a commercial establishment with an intent to commit larceny while it's open during regular business hours and the value of the property taken, or intended to be taken, is $950 or less. Any other entry into a commercial business with intent to commit larceny is burglary.

I just filled out a piece of paper to register to vote, mailed it in, and then when I showed up at my polling place I signed next to my name on the voter roles. Post covid they they just mail you a ballot now and you mail it back or take it to a drop box. If you want to vote in person you take your mail-in ballot and surrender it and they give you a regular ballot.

throwaway742··on How long would society last during a total grid collapse?
One thing that stood out to me in this video is that he claimed natural gas infrastructure can't run without electricity. It would seem obvious to me that you would have natural gas powered generators capable of sustaining the gas infrastructure.

You can't exactly light a fire if you live in the middle of a large apartment complex.

I have a friend who works for a major power company in the US. They told me there are severe supply chain issues that are making it difficult to order new replacement parts for electrical infrastructure. As critical infrastructure they do have stockpiles of replacement parts, but they are limited. I wonder how long Ukraine can sustain these repairs.

throwaway742··on Re-using the heat in bathwater in Britain
I've noticed that when I put my shower on mist I have to turn the water temperature up quite a bit to have the same felt temperature. The small water droplets seem to cool a lot faster. I'm not sure that it is actually more energy efficient.
