First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

Pihole has worked reasonably well upto this point, however the web is catching up, lots of sites that use Admiral refuse to work with piehole running.
I suspect it will only be a matter of time before hardware manufacturers wise up and prevent you from using the TV if you block their ad network traffic.
I think the person above you is mistaken. The A380 is a quadjet. It is certified under FAR (Federal Aviation Regulations, USA) part 25 and JAR (Joint Aviation Regulations, Europe) part 25.
One of the requirements of FAR/JAR 25 is that the directional control can be maintained when two critical engines (that means under the same wing) fail.

If someone takes a loan out against an unrealized gain, that should immediately trigger a tax event.
The real solution though is for the legislative branch to not be beholden to those same people and be able to quickly and effectively close tax loopholes as they are discovered.
For me, the biggest pain point is the way it decides which window to bring to the front. If I minimize a window, and then click on the application in the bar, it won't show the window just minimized, instead it always seems to show the older window. Really annoying when using an app with many windows
If trades were batch processed say every 5 seconds, and randomized in the case of ties would that solve the fastest connection issue?
Modern commercial aircraft is designed to operate on a single engine through all modes of flight.
One a plane reaches v1 during takeoff, it can lose an engine and still takeoff.
It an engine was lost before v1, the takeoff would be aborted.
Here is an Airbus doing just that.

Because the large corporations have virtually unlimited power to water down bills with campaign contributions. It takes very little to money to sway a representative federally. How much less do you think it takes to sway a state level candidate?
Spending cash on candidates to prevent bills like this is likely a rounding error on their yearly budget.

I work for a place very similar to what you described. Its a really good gig
We are on-call for 48hrs at a time, about once every 12 days or so, one day as backup, and one as primary. It's nice because it doesn't interrupt your week too much. The downside being that complex issues might require extra work while not on-call
I attempted to explain my thought process further up
I added a reply further up that attempts to explain my thought process
Have them project an imaginary line from where they stand and in the direction they are facing. Have them mark the numbers 1 2 3 in the ground as they walk forward. Now have them stand facing the number two. Now you say if you are standing left side of the line looking left to right the numbers would go 3,2,1 if you are standing on the right side looking left to right the numbers would go 1,2,3
Edit: it's a bit silly though,
I think if they could understand our language well enough to convey complex scientific ideas like an atom and its size, then smart people could probably find a good way to convey direction
I thought about this for a bit. One easy to use explanation for left and right is a number line. Smaller numbers are on the left and larger numbers are on the right. It's still an assumption that alien species would count that way.
IMO, Discover's web and mobile application is better than AMEX.
A Google search shows the Embraer Phenom 100 (5 max passengers) has a max takeoff weight of ~5 tons, it's operating weight though is under 4 tons. So it seems reasonable that the smallest class of jets could hit that weight or close to it

Mcdonalds the corporation benefits from the argeement while the Mcdonalds franchises suffer from the same agreement.
Sure, however, the bill also requires that a manufacturer does not "impose a substantial condition, obligation or restriction that is not reasonably necessary to enable an independent repair provider or an owner to diagnose, maintain, repair or update consumer electronic equipment that the original equipment manufacturer makes or sells"
My guess is there would be challenges in court if they made the certification process onerous.
If you read the bill it states that a shop must "Possesses a valid and unexpired certification that demonstrates that the person has
the technical capabilities and competence necessary to safely, securely and reliably repair
consumer electronic equipment in accordance with widely accepted standards, such as a
Wireless Industry Service Excellence Certification, an A+ certification from the Computing
Technology Industry Association, a National Appliance Service Technician Certification or
another certification that an original equipment manufacturer accepts as evidence that the
person can perform safe, secure and reliable repairs to consumer electronic equipment that
the original equipment manufacturer makes or sells".
The bill also requires that a manufacturer does not "impose a substantial condition, obligation or restriction that is not reasonably
necessary to enable an independent repair provider or an owner to diagnose, maintain, repair
or update consumer electronic equipment that the original equipment manufacturer makes
or sells"
If you read the bill, they clearly differentiate between a service provider and an owner. The bill does not require an owner to be certified to purchase parts, manuals, tools or make repairs. It does require the manufacture to make those things available to both.
The bill clearly defines an independent service provider and an owner as different entities.
