I'd argue that they're partially right (or at least not entirely wrong) to blame the specification. If the specification makes it easy for crappy manufactures to be crappy, then the specification probably should have planned for that in a better way. And crappy manufactures being crappy is a tale as old as manufacture. Yeah I know there are cable marking requirements, but clearly nobody gives a flying fuck. The USB IF has basically all of the power in this situation, and their members collectively control a significant percentage of the planets wealth, so it's actually their problem to solve.

His website still says he works for Microsoft, though it's possible he hasn't updated it yet.

Directional antennas exist and are very inexpensive

I would really appreciate this twisted timeline we're in featuring the Clintons openly acknowledging that they know how corruption works from experience as a way to derail the current corruption train that we're all tied down in front of. The writers need to demonstrate that they haven't completely lost the plot or I'm cancelling my subscription

There's some interesting information in here for sure. Some speculation about intentional allowances for some warping to occur, and information about how some tops are basically 3-ply plywood which is a bit more stable.

 

I'm hoping someone here can explain something that I haven't been able to find a satisfying answer to - why don't traditional acoustic guitars crack? I mean obviously sometimes they do, but it seems to me like that should happen all the time. For anyone unfamiliar, the front (top) and backs of wood acoustic guitars have their grain direction running parallel to the neck. And inside, there is bracing. That bracing runs perpendicular to the grain of the top, and the bracing is typically glued to the top. Gluing perpendicular grain is generally considered a huge problem when it's an item of furniture and it would be reasonable to expect an object constructed like that to tear itself apart in a few years as humidity fluctuations do their thing. But guitars usually don't do that and I don't understand why.

Thanks for listing the states, NYT. Fucking useless.

I'd be pissed if I was one of these companies that supposedly already started building factories in the USA

There was a single MAGA with a trump flag at a protest I attended. But the worst that happened was everyone booed them and then a small group followed her around.

Fed up with Reddit's owners, so I stopped my daily use. I did like Reddit more because of some well moderated and active subreddits, and I do occasionally pop my head in over there once a week or so to stay informed, but I spend almost all of my time here and on mastodon now.

I had a similar relationship with Facebook around 2015. Stopped pretty much entirely except for when I need to engage with Facebook marketplace, and I generally try to use Craigslist first.
