Well, that's certainly the answer.

I wouldn't have thought you'd want to put a building quite that close to the waterfront even in a Fjord, but apparently they did.

I don't think the US/Canada usually does that style of power pole, with three phases on a crossarm and no neutral below.

Barriers on what looks like a pretty low-traffic low-risk road too.

I would think somewhere Scandinavia or central Europe. NZ wouldn't put barriers like that up.

There should be no need for tuning, tweaking, or optimizing on functionality this basic.

If you ask the processor, it will spit out a graph like this telling you what threads/cores share resources, all the way up to (on large or server platforms) some RAM or PCIe slots being closer to certain groups of cores.

My last first aid course didn't mention tampons specifically, but if you need to stop heavy bleeding, anything is on the table.

We were told that the general practice with a major wound was essentially to use a rolled up bandage to wipe the worst of the blood away so you can see where it's coming from, then put said bandage over the probable artery and apply lots of pressure.

Your job as first aid is to keep someone alive until paramedics arrive. Tissue damage from a tampon gluing itself in can be fixed. Total blood loss less so.

They did say they're an option for a major nosebleed though.

I got a surprising amount of use out of a similarly configured C720 as a general purpose portable machine.

While braking suddenly is something that can happen on the roads, it's still a potentially dangerous maneuver. It's often better than the alternative (crashing into something/someone), but there's still risk involved.

If these vehicles are doing panic stops frequently and unnecessarily, that's a major problem. It's a common type of insurance fraud, for starters.

I wouldn't be surprised to find that the computer has a faster initial braking response whereas it takes time for peoples' feet to fully depress the brake pedal. A shorter time from the brake lights coming on to the brakes being at full service pressure.

Blackadder: Would that be the plan to continue with total slaughter until everyone's dead except for Field Marshall Haig, Lady Haig and their tortoise, Alan?

It's pretty common to own a domain but not actually host the email server; doing on-premises email is a security PITA and most providers simply blacklist large swathes of residential and leasable (e.g. VPS) IPs.

Unfortunately, if you get someone else to host your email, they often charge by the account, not by the domain. Setting up a new mailbox is therefore irritatingly expensive.

A catch-all email works well, though, and is free from most of the hosting providers. Downside is you get spam...

Jane@JaneDoe certainly seems more common than mail@JaneDoe.

With software that misuses /tmp, I'm more worried about burning out my SSD endurance than running out of RAM.

Only 15mL and into a syringe, right?
