We picked a Sleep Number because we have different firmness preferences and because I knew 3 couples at the time with a bit over 10 years of use at the time. The only complaint was one person has to air up every few weeks. It’s set to 100 and probably sags to 90 lol.

That being said, Lemmy, get the pitchforks. I wasn’t able to get a basic pump/controller, only the wifi-enabled “smart” pump. Paid $50 extra for a Bluetooth remote to not use their app. I don’t have it on the network. If the pump dies, fuck 'em. I’ll put a Schrader valve on the tube and get the tire inflator. If an RV thread is correct that 100 is 0.6psi and if my fuzzy math is correct, half a queen is the same total amount of air as a typical car tire. ~30x the volume but 1/50th the pressure

You didn’t even have to read the article, just the excerpt from OP. “students are taught to read analog clocks in first and second grade in city public schools”.

5 in my winter is about the same.

Same shit, different Gen. The sundialists hated mechanical clocks, too.

the only clocks I have on display in my house are analog

That’s a choice. You don’t have to have any analog clocks. I don’t currently have any. I dislike decorational clocks and strictly have digital clocks as informational devices where I want the time at a glance. Not to mention, I have 4 appliances in the kitchen with digital clocks (oven, microwave, drip coffee, keurig). Meanwhile, I absolutely hate audible ticking, so the only analogs I’ve bought are watches.

Also, as a former child, I can tell you children do not know what time it is. I also had digital clocks available the whole time, ranging from my dad’s “James Bond” Casio, to the VCR flashing 12:00 all the time. Mostly, the pale teal VFD type.

It doesn’t make sense to think of reading an analog clock as a necessary skill. It’s like driving a manual car. Can you? I do it daily. I can count on one hand the number of times being able to drive stick saved me in an emergency situation by being the only transmission available (it’s a closed fist). All the same, I have never been in an emergency situation that was dependent on my ability to read an analog clock

I’m rooting for yous! I feel bad we abondoned it (effectively) but, every once in a while, I hop on to grind some resource collecting and meal prepping and I actually feel some awe. We built and rebuilt so much over the years. It’s been ~400 hours well spent in a beautiful environment.

I do ego-boost myself by bringing mistlands gear to the swamp and devastating the local fauna. Finally, we have enough iron!*

*they did not, in fact, have enough iron

Ah. I thought I missed an update, that’s all. I figured it wasn’t Deep North. My group still has not done anything more in Ashlands than establish a small foothold, so I wouldn’t say we’re up to date on Ashlands anyway. We shy away from spoilers and meta tips, but I think that ambition outweighed our real life resources this time

What’s been added since Ashlands?

Are you saying they’re in sync? And the wavelength is that reliable?

I’m amused by the prospect of removing the GT from production status by Ford. Unfortunately, I didn’t get my hands on a GT during my time at the dealership and left before the GTD existed, so I’m not sure if the nuance can include/exclude either/both. The forum presence of the GTD is severely lacking and this isn’t exactly an important distinction among the owners. So, I continue to say, the GTD appears to be a fair point that may have been missed by the list, assuming they’re not factoring in typical availability.

I admit I forgot about the GTD, but it’s not immediately clear to me if that’s truly a factory vehicle. I detailed it (way too much) in my reply to your comment’s reply. The GTD gets shipped to a second facility to get finished as a GTD. So if it’s all Ford, then yes, it should count, as long as it’s still meeting production-vehicle definitions. If it changes hands to a 3rd party as a complete vehicld, it’s then not a factory vehicle, in the same way a Roush Mustang gets shipped as a complete factory Mustang to Roush, gets modified, then shipped onward to a dealer, still as a new car.

To clarify the Shelby site linked by the other comment, some of those are definitely licensed kit upfits, though I believe all in that site are such. None are actually Ford-produced.

Preface: I forgot about the GTD, however it’s not immediately clear whether it’s actually a factory vehicle. So to just be up front, I’m not sure if it counts or not but I admit it could count.

Anyway, it’s mixed. There are factory Shelbys from Ford, which are the “standard” Shelbys, known as SVT Shelbys. However, separate upfitters do the work for certain packages. Roush and Saleen do their upfitting in their houses, which is why they’re separate. They take a complete factory Ford, then modify it to their spec. Similarly, I know (at least, up until 2018 when I was looking at window stickers), those Shelby F-150s are 3rd-party upfitted with licensed parts. It’s the same place that did the Black Ops F-150 and I forget what other gig they did. That Shelby website doesn’t make it clear, but I’m 99% sure all of them are packages you can buy to upgrade your plain Ford Mustang. They’re licensed GT350 kits, as opposed to factory GT350s. I know it sounds ridiculous to be so pedantic, but it’s a nuance that has to be applied when reporting what manufacturers are officially building. 3rd-party upfitters are not held to nearly as many EPA and crash regulations as the original manufacturer.

The difference is whether the complete vehicle shipped out the Ford factory door directly to a dealer or if it went to a separate upfitter as a complete vehicle, then got modified. Both can still go to a Ford dealer for sale as a new car. Roush/Saleen will have the original window sticker on the door and an upfitter window sticker/addendum added. Roush has a full size sticker on the windshield, for example.

I thought I’d get so much done with my 5 days of use-or-lose PTO by using it up for Ano Perineum, but, here I sit on Dec 31, a day and a half left, having done just about nothing but play video games. I said I wouldn’t feel bad if that’s what happened, but now it’s like the Sunday scaries are setting in on the year

Same, especially because I’m a frequent sky-looker but have to prepare any ride-along that all we’re going to see by eye is pale fuzzy blobs. All my camera is going to show you tonight is pale sprindly clouds. I think it’s neat as hell I can use some $150 binoculars to find interstellar objects, but many people are bored by the lack of Hubble-quality sights on tap. Like… Yes, and then sent a telescope to space in order to get those images.

That being said, I once had the opportunity to see the Orion nebula through a ~30" reflector at an Observatory, and damn. I got to eyeball about what my camera can do in a single frame with perfect tracking and settings.

As someone discovering their IQ might be room temperature, I forgot we were talking about room temperature. Maybe there’s arctic mushrooms to back me up? Or an ice fishing bathroom with the door left open

2022 was the last (most recent?) model year for the Shelby GT500. Other than that, anything recent from the Ford factory with boost has been a turbo, and just on the base 4cyl. GT350s are NA, Roush/Saleen aren’t factory, and the GT/regular V8 is NA

Damn, some commenters are just being rude. It’s not a ridiculous question and this is the community for it, even if it was, isn’t it? It’s no real stretch of the imagination to wonder why if phones have great cameras and tablets have good cameras, why don’t laptops offer anything close? I agree, the bulk of the laptop makes it awkward and the demand is low when “everyone” in the primary markets already have a camera phone in their pocket

unfortunately, the study included information about intensity of night time light but did not included information about the sources of light

So I guess it’s user-interpreted intensity

For heart attack, for example, compared with those in the darkest 50th percentile, those who experienced some nighttime light — in the 51st to 70th percentile — had a 20 percent increased risk of heart attack.

Those who experienced more light, in the 71st to 90th percentile, had a 27 percent increased risk.

And those who experienced the most nighttime light, in the 91st to 100th percentile, had a 47 percent higher risk.

Unless it’s -40
