Comment Re:Well, Duh (Score 1) 226

I've noticed that people who are disagreeing with people who reference the law or constitution directly as the source of decisions are being flagged as Off Topic or Troll.

We have gotten so far away from what is actual constitutional and what is not that people can't handle being shown what is true.

Comment I use their wireless adapters a lot (Score 1) 41

The T3U Plus for the price is a great adapter. We keep them around at work whenever someone needs to move a PC somewhere that doesn't have a network port and their not willing to pay to have a new line run. The regular T3U or the nano adapters though do not work very well. Stick to the T3U Plus.

Comment Re:"Breakthrough" (Score 2) 302

That's correct. And from talking to someone who has had cancer, she had said that each so-called breakthrough is for a specific kind of cancer that does not translate over since each cancer is a unique thing that has different ways it forms. Radiation and chemo are the "poison the body and hope the cancer dies before the person does" approach.

Comment iNaturalist and Seek do this (Score 3, Informative) 15

Both apps are available in the associated app stores. iNaturalist takes pictures that you upload and attempts to identify them. Seek which is an associated app from the same people does it in real time with video so you can slowly pan around and it will start naming various plants and flowers.

Comment Math in college (Score 3, Interesting) 100

I struggled with some math in college that was "on paper". Meaning that I know it would take me 15 seconds to write a script to solve the math problem, but struggled to do it by hand on paper. I even remember asking the 70-ish year old instructor why do math symbols and programming symbols have to be different. Especially for boolean operations, I realized that it was pointless arguing but I at least wanted to say it out loud. In my university physics course I had my laptop out and would write little scripts for solving different problems where I could just plug in the numbers that the professor wrote on the board and immediately get an answer. She seemed impressed that I came up with that way for a solution.

Comment Re:Adaptive Headlights (Score 1) 187

I drove a rental that had the adaptive headlights. It seemed like more than half of the time they did not dim at all when other cars approached and people were frequently flashing me with their lights to tell me to turn the high beams off. I'm frequently blinded by other people's lights at night and I even drive a pickup, so it's not solely just a height thing. Its worse when it's hazy or the road is damp and it reflects back at me. I've had to slow down because of a loss of ability to see where my lane is.
