A hogshead is 6.768 bushels in the US and 7.875 in the UK.

Depends a lot on where you live. My village is pretty fresh cuz I update it lol. My impression is that it's quite good in western Europe, might take a month in major US cities, and probably years old in most other places. I think Indonesia, Israel, and Japan are decent as well.

You can buy bottles of ink on Amazon. Tank printers, jerryrigging, and people refilling cartridges have all been decently common for a long time, so there are plenty of random companies selling it.

That study doesn't say "freak out". It says 83% ever showed "any fear" of fireworks, which is a huge variation. My doesn't like going outside when there are fireworks, but the sound of rain freaks him out way more.

Concord is explicitly an online-only FPS. I don't think that's representative of most games.

With IPv4 there's zero chance of that. At most, you could get all the people who were using [Gmail] around that time. With IPv6, mayyybe, but that assumes the hotel does as much data collection as possible and does it correctly.

No, if they violate a clearly defined right, you can often still sue them individually, although that's usually suboptimal as the government has deeper pockets.

This is how California is legislating it—requiring the OS to let an admin set the user's age, then let browsers and through them, websites, to query that setting.

Eh, I think lattes are definitely the most popular drink at Starbucks and Dunkin.

Both theories would be easily testable. The danger is also much smaller if it's not on your Wi-Fi regardless.

Iced espresso drinks are the large majority of what people buy at, e.g., Starbucks.

Where you order ingredients doesn't take away from the preparation and cooking.

Pushing a button and having a machine turn those ingredients into a final product does eliminate its specialness.

I think your quote is incorrect. I haven't seen that the family has done anything since the donation. It was unrelated neighbors who sued.

If you can "just type stuff", it is absolutely trivial to download absolutely any payload you want as long as you have network access and your antivirus doesn't stop it.

Also, I still haven't found a clipboard manager that works normally on Wayland.

And I rarely get it to recognize all my monitors first try. And it crashes semi-regularly.

Not sure how much is inherent to Wayland vs Gnome, but life is way better since I upgraded to Xlibre & Cinnamon.

To be honest, I don't use it at all professionally except I guess transcription or search engine summaries to point me to actual documents. I mostly come across it when a client makes a contract or legal memo on his own and sends it to me to review. If I'm drafting a lease or a trust or whatever, I already have forms that cover everything they need, have been used thousands of times, and can be easily tweaked as needed cuz I half have them memorized at this point.

I can't imagine using them for a court filing. Those are either so short that they're trivial or they require painstaking research, precision, and often citations for every single sentence.

Not that either is great, but there is a world of difference between saying "a 16-year-old can marry another 16-year-old if the couple and both sets of parents agree" (an often a judge too) and saying "a 12-year-old can marry a 30-year-old against her will".

As an attorney, I feel like vetting AI output takes longer than just doing it from scratch, let alone versus just using a traditional form.

With AI, I have to read through everything, often explain why it's wrong, and then rewrite everything anyways. I mean, I get way more billables, but I think it's symptomatic of how AI loses its advantage of being quick and accessible to those who don't understand the subject matter.

You do not have to be an accredited investor for IBKR or Robinhood.

Most malware isn't either, especially with Node.
