I’ve seen three designs for purely mechanical flush door handles in production use:

• A handle with a central hinge where one side is pushed inward to make the other side stick out to be pulled. This design has been used on aircraft for many decades, and has also made its way to a few cars.
• A pull-up door handle with an additional flap in front of the access area. This was used on the Subaru XT/Alcyone/Vortex.
• A handle that pushes in to open, usually found on a portion of the door that’s more horizontal to the ground. Used on the C3 Corvette, among others.

The push-then-pull central hinge is probably not a great choice for the application because its operation will be less obvious to a rescuer trying to get the door open quickly. It’s still better than something that requires electronics.

The rental cars in question were, in fact Corvettes. Corvettes are still using them.

After renting a couple cars with electronic door poppers, I find them plainly worse than mechanical door latches. They’re a solution in search of a problem, and some implementations are hazardous.

This Angelfish?

I put PostmarketOS on a spare device recently. PostmarketOS describes itself as currently being in a state suitable for Linux enthusiasts to try out, not for wider use. That seems about right to me.

On the fun side, it’s proper desktop-style Linux. I can SSH to it from my laptop. I can compile software on it. I can run programs that have no business running on a phone. On the not so fun side, the cameras barely work, data over USB doesn’t work at all, and battery life is not good. Desktop Firefox on a phone screen is pretty bad. Rumor has it there’s some support for Android apps, but I’ve been looking at Waydroid’s splash screen for a long time now with no progress.

In the medical sense a therapist treating someone for pedophilia would use the term, you’re correct. In a colloquial sense, Epstein was a pedophile.

This is so dumb, how could anyone at the FCC even humor such a request?

If you were 22 and they were 25 no one would care. It’s 3 years.

Try moving that in the other direction though; I expect you’ll eventually find pairing that makes you uncomfortable.

There’s the half your age plus 7 rule, but it doesn’t really work if you are under 22.

Doesn’t it?

• 14/2+7 = 14. It’s questionable for anybody under 14 to be in a romantic or sexual relationship even if the other person is the exact same age.
• 16/2+7 = 15. People tend to mature rapidly in this age range, so dating someone much younger is sketchy.
• 18/2+7 = 16.
• 20/2+7 = 17.

These line up with my intuition for the age gap being acceptable, not something that should raise eyebrows. A little outside that becomes a warning sign. A lot outside that is almost certainly abusive.

Grey area. The suggestion that it’s pedophilia is silly given they’re close in age, but a 3-4 year age gap when someone is 16 can be pretty significant; I’d consider it a warning sign.

This is basically the same as Apple’s notarization scheme for direct app installation on iOS in the EU. I do not believe the EU has sued Apple over that yet, and they’ve had plenty of time to do so.

I suspect the appeals are also largely handled by an automated process. It’s the same kind of experience people have when they get banned from Facebook or Youtube.

I think they outsource the sitewide moderation, and much of it is automated, relying on signals like your IP address and the behavior of your web browser (assuming you were using it on the web). It’s more likely their bot thought you’re a bot than a human didn’t like your opinions.

I imagine you can figure out whether you are banned from one subreddit, or the entire site. That will tell you which category of moderator did it.

It’s not clear whether you mean Reddit’s administrators (sitewide moderation), or subreddit moderators.

As a subreddit moderator, I have used automoderator to “shadow ban” accounts engaged in spam or harassment that I believed were likely to create new accounts to circumvent regular bans. I’m sure some moderators in some subreddits have done the same to get rid of people they disagree with.

Early 20th century, as a reaction to large-scale social change stemming from industrialization. The bulk of it ended in the mid 1940s, though Spain and Portugal remained under far-right dictatorships until the 1970s.

I recently picked up a Microsoft Surface Go 2 and installed Linux on it. Ebay is flooded with them in the USA, and I paid $90 for the tablet with the keyboard cover. The irony of Linux on a Microsoft branded tablet amuses me.

Everything but the cameras just worked. There’s a kernel patch for the cameras, but I haven’t been motivated to patch and recompile.

Anyone shopping for the same should keep in mind that the 8100Y CPU is twice as fast as the Pentium, and the 64gb storage option is slow eMMC while 128gb and 256gb are faster NVME.

Maybe.

An official government forum where politicians engage with the people they represent, provide reasoning for their votes, and actually listen to what members of the public want would be great. There’s a case for using verified real names in such a forum.

A place where internet randoms yell at each other about politics, on the other hand would probably not be improved by identity checks.

A neighbor’s house was on fire

Yes, but there’s no guarantee that remains true.
