I window how they define “Public safety agencies” since other programs refer to “Justice and Public Safety agencies”. Is this difference an oversight or is something being excluded?

Annnnd TIME!

95% interface and widgets swapped over to lawnchair!

Boom!

I used to use lawnchair. Good reason to switch back.

Yeah. Totally correct. That one slipped by.

Ahh sonofabitch! It’s already updated for me.

These apps have sort of been around for ages. Looks like Final Cut studio and Apple’s office suite combined with a new fancy subscription model.

It used to be a driver could present a cashier’s check as proof of financial responsibility, but it was a pretty high sum. There is a similar system with some states where you can purchase a bond that satisfies the insurance requirements.

Ohh nice rebuttal. Much respect.

I considered accumulation more pertaining to levels than detectable but, although it applies to both for some substances, concentration is just a snapshot in time.

Wow thanks. I love problems that keep me up at night.

You just pointed out my problem with this. If it’s negligible, it doesn’t need a warning label. All sorts of things are detectable; we have amazingly sensitive technology. But it doesn’t mean it’s at harmful levels. I want to know harmful levels, not detectable.

We want there to be meaning behind detectable, but science simply doesn’t work that way; it is a poor indicator of risk.

Ahh, but see you fell for the tricky wordplay. There are safe levels which is a concentration, but not a safe amount which is simply detectable.

The EPA tests and regulates safe levels of lead, but there is still no safe amount.

“No safe amount” does not mean dangerous and this dumb phrase has escalated in popularity to trigger fear. For many instances it just means detectable. There is no safe amount of radiation, but it’s all around us. I’m not going to die of radiation poisoning tomorrow.

It’s why California posts cancer warnings on coffee shops and other dumb prop 65 requirements. It’s blown so out of proportion the warning has lost all meaning.

Concentration of a compound is essential information, but not taken into consideration. Post that info on these dumb warnings so we can laugh at them.

I am all for warning labels but they have to be legitimate for dangerous concentrations, not fear mongering.

Indentured servants are more exploitable than consumers; you don’t have to solicit for their money with goods.

On one hand, bummer. But on the other, sort of a waste of hardware anyway.

I was a big time pro user. G3 tower with DVD card, G5 dual, Mac Pro 5,1 with dual X5690’s and other upgrades. But I had to drag those systems kicking and screaming out of Apple’s walled garden to do what is second nature on the PC side of things. Loved the OS back then, but not all users were braindead drones.

“Pro” stopped being a moniker for advanced capability, instead the most expensive, least hobbled version.

I hope whomever replaces Cook (rumor has it) once again remembers what it was like to be a nerd under all that businessman authority.

Sexwork aside, (not my thing) that sounds like a really nice vacation actually.

Every year for decades I take me time to unplug and get away from the grind. No digital devices, no cell service are major pluses.

Gave my family that tip before they went out. Some phones were left behind because they still track location when turned off.

They said there were lots of cameras out there, but of note was one car driving by with pricy equipment and government plates. Definitely cover faces.

Fight me. 😁

No, this is totally the point. The wealthy can borrow cheap money now to buy up all the property people are losing in disasters and financial crises. Welcome to renter hell, peons.

Ugh. Damn.

I don’t like it either. But …

Third-Party Auditing: Incorporating rigorous, industry-leading third-party auditing standards to verify election integrity at every step."

… does sound like a good step. Give NPR/researchers access and only run audited code. It’s what we’d ask of Republicans if Democrats owned the company.

I’d still prefer open source.
