My biggest gripe with the streaming service interfaces is that the continue watching on a lot of them seems to remove shows after a set amount of time. Instead the list should be limited by , a fairly large, number of shows, so if you don't watch a service a lot, you can find that show you started 6 months ago.

The rainy-day fund is not built with taxes from citizens and business. It is built only with taxes from the oil-industry. And then they have invested all that money, so the money itself helps to build up the fund even more.

It should not be allowed to have both the pedestrian crossing and the turn signal showing green at the same time. The turn signal could switch from red to green immediately after the ped-crossing turn red, but no sooner.
If they want to increase the flow of the intersection, they could have the turn signal be red-less, as in not having a red state. Then when the straight-ahead signals go green, it would be allowed to turn left yielding to oncoming traffic and any pedestrians in the crossing. Then when the oncoming traffic and the ped-crossing have turn red, the left turn signal goes green indicating free path.

One of the best rules I've come across to keep the racing affordable was this one:
* Any competitor can purchase the winning car for $500
So that either keeps the cost of the cars down, or one very rich competitor eventually having made all the cars competing. :-p

My local cinema uses a constant horizontal, and have some black fabric at top and bottom that get adjusted to make the desired aspect ratio. You see them moving when they switch from showing commercials and trailers (1.77), and to the movie proper (2.35)

Submission + - Chandrayaan 2, Indian Spacecraft, Enters Moon's Orbit (ctvnews.ca)
William Robinson writes: An unmanned spacecraft, Chandrayaan 2, India launched last month has begun orbiting the moon before it lands on the far side to search for water. The spacecraft is in orbit of 114 km x 18072 km and will continue circling the moon in a tighter orbit until reaching a distance of about 100 km x 30 km from the moon's surface. The lander will then separate from the orbiter and use rocket fuel to brake as it attempts to land in the south polar region of the moon on Sept. 7. The mission is carrying a total of 14 payloads—13 Indian and one passive payload from Nasa—with special focus of the orbiter on mapping craters in the polar region, besides checking for water again.
