I've seen this kind of thing growing in popularity. It grates on my ears, but it is more and more common (A local TV ad for an automotive glass company states, "Whether your windshield needs repaired or replaced...").

While I agree with the above commenter that it doesn't create ambiguity, I see it as a lazy, bad usage that almost certainly extends to other, similar misuses that do actually create ambiguity. But I'm kind of a stickler.

The Legislative branch doesn't even declare war anymore. They willingly (enthusiastically, even) dumped that authority into the Executive branch.

Meanwhile, Mazda has posted a couple of years of record sales in the US. With ICE cars.

IIRC, it also allowed you to keep track of items you had loaned out. The killer part of it was that barcode scanning, though. It made building your inventory of media so easy. I kept looking for a Windows alternative and never found anything even close.

Ditto. I've never had an issue determining what's local and what's Plex Streaming.

He did not say that. The quote in question, frequently and incorrectly cited by Harris and her supporters, was directly in response to a question about what he would do if violent riots broke out in the aftermath of the election/inauguration. He stated that he would call in the National Guard and maybe the military. You know, like Pelosi should have done on January 6th, but decided not to. There is video (which Harris conveniently never showed anywhere). Go watch it. This is right up there with the "fine people on both sides" lie. And the "he wants to execute Liz Cheney" lie. The Harris campaign and the media kept repeating these things over and over and it didn't work. I'd like to think it's because the people saw through it. I'm not sure that's the reason, but I'm an optimist. Sometimes.

And the misleading information wasn't limited to Trump, either. She kept stating that she was going to "crack down" on "corporate price gouging." Even answered that this was her plan when asked directly during an interview about how she planned to reduce the cost of living. The problems with this were that she tied this to the cost of groceries, an industry with a very, very low profit margin, and as stated directly in her plan, was limited to emergency situations. But she kept putting it out there as though it was an overall strategy. The woman couldn't answer a straight question with a straight answer.

I think the Harris campaign would have been better served by laying out (reachable) goals and legitimate plans for her vision of the country rather than misleading, lie-laden attacks on Trump. To my eye, it came across as desperate and ill-conceived. Someone also needed to tell her to speak more off the cuff and not just spout the same (Dreams, Ambitions, and Aspirations...) talking points verbatim over and over. It made her seem like she had no plan at all and didn't really know what she was doing. As though she was in way over her head.

And even then, as little as possible.

In South Carolina, it's illegal to leave an unoccupied vehicle running. Not sure how this would be affected by that.

Doing it on a burner would take a LOT of attention, assuming you could get a burner to maintain temperature to any degree of constant accuracy at all. When I started cooking sous vide, I did, however, use a cooler. Bring water up to temp, fill cooler, fidget with opening/closing cooler until the temperature is correct, put food in cooler, close lid, wait. Even that took a lot of attention. Had to put enough hot water in when the temps dropped too low to bring it back up and the like. It's possible (check out Serious Eats for some good guides), just not remotely as nice as using a dedicated circulator.

Not to mention that, in our case, the issue presented itself overnight. While the vast bulk of our IT department was sleeping. Had our SecOps guy not woken up to pee and decided to take a look at work stuff, we wouldn't have known until business hours started. As it was, we managed to get most things up by midday (servers were up pretty quickly - workstations had to wait).

I have my phone set up with Tasker to automatically turn on the hotspot when it detects a Bluetooth connection to my car's Android head unit, which the head unit then automatically connects to. It's seamless. And after the Bluetooth connection has been gone for five minutes, Tasker turns off the hotspot.

...what they would say about a successful spy satellite launch.

And not a single thing was lost.

Were they able to run with no errors, or were they able to correct the errors they encountered without destroying the qubits? It can't be both.

That completely ignores the huge volume of dystopian science fiction.
