EV price should include a battery/charging station. Obviously.
But, is it magic?
A few people in my neighborhood have fences/walls. Most are those incredibly ugly white plastic things. I know where my corner markers are. I try not to put stuff beyond my boundary, but it generally doesn't really make a difference as three sides of my property is wooded/wild, and I'm probably the only person to go in there. The town "owns" 10' on either side of the road in front, so I try not to put much there except for my mailbox and a couple of small flower patches. Note: Kids do not recognize boundaries. They will ride their bikes on my driveway, across my yard, wherever they feel like it. Smart people, those kids.
Have them give an estimate, and see who is closer at the end of the project. Three strikes, they stop complaining.

It would be interesting to see where REBOL falls on this spectrum.
uh, yeah, sure.

Sometimes, but usually have a separate search field.

The best times were back in the early '90s when we were just five guys coding and playing music and smoking bongs and playing Quake after hours and maybe getting paid this month. By the dotcom implosion and 9/11, we had an award winning retail product, the first single-shopping cart online mall, 70+ employees, and we'd moved from the old house through several iterations of office spaces. But a bunch of yahoos from Montreal had bought us, and brought everything crashing down. The old days are calling.

Too late.
Trump should be allowed on twitter only if he can only interact with an army of sycophantic bots. No real people should be able to follow him or read his spewings. COVFEFE!

Games: LotRO, Urban Dead, Pardus, Flare

Music: Random mixes from my ~10000 song library. Or my guitar.

The fact that we can distinguish between objects 3-14km in size at a distance of 64ly is a remarkable tribute to the power of science.

Unlike the leaked Supreme Court draft.

Re:How can I get my boyfriend to stop digging his tunnel? on Wednesday April 20, 2022 @10:30AM (#31097491)
All serious safety concerns. Also: Something that happens more often than we hear about is tunnelers breaking into an open space which collapses some of the floor they're standing on, causing them to fall and get seriously injured, or die. Is he tying himself to something? Does he have ground-penetrating radar?
I've bought hundreds of Dell desktops, laptops, servers, etc., over the last 15 years. Rarely have I had any issues.

Too bad they built it on a (intrinsically more valuable) wetlands which will be underwater in a few decades. Oops.
Stories like this do not need a leading graphic, especially when the chosen graphic has nothing at all to do with the content of the story. It's a waste of time, energy, and page real estate.
Re:Ask HN: What are your favorite playlists while coding? on Friday March 25, 2022 @10:24AM (#30802525)
I stream Nectarine Demoscene Radio, either through a browser or Alexa. "Alexa, play Nectarine Demoscene Radio" is in fact the only command I've ever given Alexa, other than "Alexa, off.".
Assuming you use Alexa in the first place, which most people don't.
