I didn’t collapse or uncollapse anything on the page before taking the screenshot. On loading, all the spam sections are uncollapsed, and the “specifications” section is collapsed.

The “specifications” section is a collapsed section about a quarter of the way down. It starts out collapsed on every page, even if you open it up every time.

Check out this screenshot from Home Depot’s website.

About 1/8 of the page is the product. Almost NONE of the page is the “specifications” section, which is the most important section.

The majority of the page is “frequently bought together”, “More from this brand”, and “Customers also viewed”.

I have NEVER bought anything from any of these useless lists. But they have slowed down the page sufficiently that I stopped using their website and went elsewhere. Try browsing with just 10 product pages open on this site – you will start having tabs unload or crash due to memory consumption. Some of these product lists have a dozen items in them if you scroll right, so it consumes gigabytes of RAM.

Good to see a country finally fulfilling their ICC obligations. What’s the point of agreeing to a treaty if you’re just going to break it?

Previously:

• France says it won’t arrest Netanyahu, despite ICC warrant against him (France joins Argentina and Hungary in saying they won’t execute the International Criminal Court’s warrants.)
• Putin not arrested by ICC member Mongolia, which could now face prosecution

This is fake

Software engineer here. I find the petition to be very specific, and totally feasible.

Anyway, this isn’t a true referendum where its text would become immediate law as soon as it passes. It’s a petition that would be presented to legislators who would write the actual law. The petition doesn’t need to be written in legalese.

(Also: if the customer paid them even one cent, then they DO owe the customer something. Also: They should be forced to release the server software when they shut down the servers.)

Why are hospitals drug-testing pregnant women without their consent?

The gingerbread man lives in what he believes to be a gingerbread universe, where all matter is gingerbread.

I don’t worry that my home and my body are both made of matter. The gingerbread man thinks similarly, but the “matter” to him is what we know to be gingerbread.

Except in social studies class. People should be aware of other people’s religions. But each religion should be taught equally, or in proportion to how many members they have. Kids should also be able to learn why people join religions and why religions are persuasive.

I agree.

Friendly reminder: deadnaming Twitter is not transphobic.

The two outlets could be on different circuits, if for example one of them is connected to a switch on a lighting circuit.

Then, the cable will be powering one circuit from the other. A circuit limited to 20A could draw 40A before blowing, causing damage to the wires.

Someone might do some wiring work on the lights, and shut off the lighting circuit, and still get zapped (though most electricians would test it before touching it, since breaker labels are rarely accurate).

There are many creative ways to die to a cable like this.

But does your medical clinic do?

No, they don’t, and it pisses me off. Every time I see it, I think, Well, there goes my medical privacy.

But where else can I go? There’s only one health company in town, and they bought all the doctor’s offices.

Who can I complain to? The doctors and nurses are visibly frustrated with Windows every time I see them use it. If they can’t change it, how could I?

Yes. As far as I’ve seen, it never changes what gets sent to the server, which is why I’m able to get away with it.

We need protections limiting the length and level of effect of clickwrap agreements.

For now, I will continue using “inspect element” to change the text “agree” to “disagree”, and completely skip proprietary phone apps.

Epigenetics is black magic to me. The starvation thing is true, but it mostly happens in the liver and pancreas and stuff. The testicles and ovaries don’t express the genes relating to starvation, even when starved. So how does the reproductive DNA pass on epigenetic data to the child and grandchild?

Any regular hex nut works just fine as a jam nut. Basically, a jam nut is when you jam two nuts together. (It is gay, because the nuts do touch.)

And note that those nylon inserts kinda only work once. The bolt carves a thread into the insert when you insert it, so it will be weaker the second time you insert it.

Honorable mention: cage nuts. A square nut, permanently attached to a fastener that can snap into a special square hole in a 19 inch server rack. When you tighten the bolt against the nut, it tightens against the fastener, so that the nut, bolt, and fastener are secure against the square hole.

I’ll just go get my flamethrower.

English has its flaws, but I don’t agree that that is one of them.

For anyone who honestly believes in third party stuff: try supporting ranked voting at the local and state level. Once we have more ranked voting at local and state levels, it will be easier to push that at the federal level, which is the best way to solve strategic voting problems in presidential elections.

Nobody would support ranked voting for presidential elections if that’s the first time they hear about it. But if people use it already in local elections, and see that it works better, then extending it to presidential elections is a logic choice.
