They did the exact same to Fred Meyers in the Pacific Northwest.

I lived in Portland for years - and it's the same. Even if you did get someone on the phone, I doubt anything would happen. There's tons of cars without plates, mufflers, windshields, etc. driving around that the police don't care about.

Caseta stuff isn't perfect for every use case, but I have had absolutely 0 problems with mine.

All boats during permit season May 15 - July 31

I think the rafts you're looking at are just gear rigs, on long multi-day trips usually there is only one person with a set of oars. The boats have frames and lots of cargo space for food, clothes, toilets, tents, kitchen, etc.

Depending on the size of the boat and the difficulty of the river you can have more people on them, but still only one person rows.

Arches National Park requires permits for entry during the busy season so you would need a permit for any sort of experience there.

If you add all your bulbs to Homekit you can control them all from there. I have all my Hue bulbs in Homekit and haven't touched the Hue app for years, it's also accessible from the iOS Control Center.

Or the issue with the ozone hole in the 1980s... that was not solved by people stopping personal use of CFCs, or boycotting products that used CFCs. A multinational agreement known as the Montreal Protocol is what stopped the use and production of CFCs.

Yep, these are the terms I've always used when whitewater rafting.

When the batteries get older, iOS throttles performance to ensure the device doesn't shut down unexpectedly. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208387

I think they spend a ton of money on their kids each month - chefs, nannies, private schools, etc.

FaceID works totally fine with your sunglasses on and in bright light... It does fail if you have a mask on, if you have goggles covering half your face, or if you have a helmet that covers your face... but to me that is all completely understandable.

I think what gdubs was trying to get across is that sure, there are problems, people to blame, etc. but now is not the time. We have to get our act together and handle the situation. We can't have petty fighting betweeen parties.

Now is the time to unite and act. We can fight, argue and point fingers once this is all behind us.

From what I understand, that's how most house brands work.

We're already most of the way there with self checkout. My local Home Depot only has self checkout now, with 1 person managing something like 10-15 registers. They left the person running the "Pro"/lumber checkout area, but that area looks like it's being set up for self checkout too. They also seem to have removed the Garden Center checkout.

I'm not saying it's a great thing, just that the jobs Just Walk Out will be replacing are already being replaced by self checkout.

And they didn't just do that with AWS. They did it with ecommerce as well. Become the biggest online retailer, nail the implementation, then get everyone else to jump on your platform.

I think it's also due to recycling being easier to integrate into our lifestyles than reducing or reusing. We have enough wealth to just buy another, and throw the excess in the recycling bin where someone else deals with the problem.

When you visit less wealthy countries, you see people reducing and re-using. They either don't have as easy of access to all these goods, or the cost of them makes the people re-use the stuff around the house.

For example, I could use empty beer cans to start seedlings for my garden, but I've instead bought those nice black gardening pots. I have the money to and it's easier than keeping beer cans around then modifying them to drain right.

Sure you can access this.$parent, and use a v-if on an element with a v-for, but if you read the docs, they tell you that you probably shouldn't be doing either of these things [1][2].

The real feature I would want from an IoT candle is to be able to turn it off if I leave the house or go to sleep. You have to phyiscally put a lid on this candle to turn it off?

I primarily use my card for purchases at retail locations, but a few times I've forgotten my wallet, and Apple Pay on my phone has saved me.

Totally. For example, if your neighbors are having a party that's breaking noise laws, it's always better to go talk to them, then if they are jerks, report them to the police.

I always assume that once I categorize a recurring bill as something, it will always be categorized that way. If feels like it takes recategorizing it many times before the category sticks. Which is really annoying.

I'm definitely not good at finance, but could this just be Casper making it look like they're losing money to dodge taxes or something?

I'm in Oregon and our deposit is 10¢ as well, we also have the big bins/carts. The homeless around here will pull everything out of our recycling bin a lot of the time to find cans. Most of the time they'll put it all back, but sometimes they wont, and I'll find my trash/recycling littered about the street.

It also has the effect that almost everyone in my area leaves their trash cans on the street, because if you put them somewhere near your house the homeless people will find it, and invite themselves up onto your property.

A few years ago my parents walked in to a Toyota dealership to buy a new Camry with cash. They were talked into financing it, bought it, then got home and realized they should have just paid cash. The next day they went back to the dealership to pay it off and the guy who gave them the loan was a huge asshole to them the whole time.

Southpark has a pretty good episode on this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z696bTiP8Ro

I'd say it's more about how thieves have started to use bluetooth scanners to determine if something very valuable is in your car. If they can tell a macbook is in your car, but your glovebox, center console or trunk are locked, they'll go to extra lengths to break into them.

The paper maps we use for multiday rafting trips are all waterproof. The thing will sit in the water in the bottom of your boat all day, then you throw it in the sand. It gets a little patina but has no problem with dirt/sand/water.

Totally agree that neither digital nor paper maps is a clear winner. Each use case has different requirements and sometimes digital is better and sometimes paper is.

I'll use my phone or paper maps depending on the situation.

- Backpacking for one night: Probably just phone (I use an app called Offline Topo Maps, works great).

- Backpacking for an extended amount of time: Paper

- Backpacking in winter/snow: Paper and Phone. (Only use the phone for when I'm not quite sure where I am)

- Motorcycle tour: Phone.

- Multiday rafting: Paper.

- Bicycle Tour: Phone and Paper.

- General Travel to a new place: Phone.

I feel as if one isn't necessarily better than the other, they both have their pros & cons for different activities.
