There was a Lateral with Tom Scott episode about a small island that didn’t use north, south, east, or west. Instead it was towards the ocean, inland, clockwise, and counter-clockwise

I’m not seeing anything about it being an HOA park either

If it’s tall enough to keep tennis balls in, I’d rather not 😬

If there’s a unique code for the gate as OP says, it sounds like it is otherwise locked
- Comment on Why in America is .08 the legal limit for drunk driving? How come it's not an even 0.10? Who decided at what level being drunk starts? Then 4 beers of 12oz's is 0.08 why is it that small? 2 months ago:
I mean, that’s just an issue of notation. OP could have just as easily meant 0.10 but chopped off the trailing zero out of habit.

I think that being impaired with anything above 0 is illegal. You could be at .06 but have such a low tolerance that it affects you pretty badly and get cited for it. But 0.08+ is automatically considered impaired, no matter how good your tolerance may be, if you get tested at that level.

All things criminal are illegal, but not all things illegal are criminal. Speeding and other traffic violations are illegal, but they’re not criminal. Overstaying your visa (most common form of illegal immigration) is, IIRC a civil violation but it’s not a criminal one either.
That said, I don’t think what the initial post said is entirely true either and will make that a separate reply.

I’ve been very curious to try nitrided carbon steel, but am having trouble finding one that’s dishwasher safe 😔

He also lives in a low cost of living area
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
He didn’t, but now that I think about it he has another business still in the industry (don’t want to be too specific) and that may help too. Really not familiar enough with his businesses’ finances to say 🙂
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
One of my old Internet friends from years ago did, and got very involved in the industry. He seems to be doing very well for himself, but I’ve seen him comment on a Facebook post where people were saying you can only become a millionaire by starting a laundromat if you started off as a billionaire

I had my plates stolen several years ago, if that counts!

With such a strictly utilitarian outlook on life, I bet you’re a joy at parties. Why even bring one of your favorite foods to share when that’s supposed to be the host’s job?
- Comment on People who work in medical offices, has anyone ever called to verify a doctor note for work or school? 3 months ago:
There are quite a few exceptions built into HIPAA. I’m sure there would be something as you describe, but also there are things like if a crime occurred on the premises of the provider (or whatever) and they think they recognize the person in their security footage as a patient, they can give that information to law enforcement (as one would expect with non-healthcare organizations).
Another is that if someone is talking with a patient in a double room with only a curtain separating, someone overhearing the conversation is considered incidental and not a HIPAA violation
- Comment on What does non-gui mean ? 3 months ago:
There’s also voice user interfaces! I’m not sure if it goes by another name, but blind people have their own way of using a phone, plus there’s a lot of voice control when driving or using Alexa and the like
- Comment on Would you want to be Michael Jackson-level famous? Why or why not? 4 months ago:
I’m a white guy who went to a wedding in rural India. That attention alone got to be a bit much after a few days.
Also, I would have to be stupidly careful about pretty much everything. Hackers would actually think to target me AND could have an incentive to do so knowing I’ve got money (gained by fraud or blackmail if I’m not careful). In my current life I go to clothing-optional places pretty regularly (not a sex club or anything) and that would pretty much have to stop.
Just let me be rich in a way that nobody knows it, preferably not even my own friends.

- Comment on tech never works for long 5 months ago:
Well, I’m not talking about cameras. I’m asking about my oven not because I think I shouldn’t care about it, but because I genuinely want to know why I should. Like, I can’t imagine some algorithm is saying “guys, this guy set his oven to 350 an hour before dinner, we got him!”
- Comment on tech never works for long 5 months ago:
What time you usually cook, so the best time to show you other advertisements
I guess I can grant you that they would learn that I eat dinner around dinner time, maybe a little later than most but also not abnormally so.
or if you’re in the store once super targeted customer by customer pricing gets implemented (it’s already in place in many locations)
I’ve seen that stores want to be able to adjust prices based on time of day or whatever, and my store has mostly switched to eink price labels so it’s a matter of time… But per person? How are they supposed to offer one price to me and another to someone reaching for the gallon of milk at the same time?
- Comment on tech never works for long 5 months ago:
Honest question though: what of real value can a company gain by knowing that I turned my oven to 350, or that I switched my air conditioning on? Assuming app permissions match what’s needed and I’m not giving up my contacts or whatever. Or is that a more common issue than I realize?
