I suspect little to nothing. Bobby is a cinematic story teller. Consider his videos more performance art and less factual documentaries.

Except in the article here, they are counting on a driver connecting their phone to the wifi and logging in with Tesla credentials.

In this instance you don't need to disable anything in the car.

Hoka. They are popular with nurses and people on their feet all day. My partner had a torn tendon causing a collapsed arche and that was the brand the Ortho recommended. After a major ankle surgery to repair the damage, Hoka is still the go-to brand for anything more than superficial walking. I ended up grabbing myself a pair and I understand why they are so popular. They have fully replaced my New Balance.

Requiring email of phone numbers isn't always something virtuous like stopping spam. It's also often about first party data acquisition. Even if some people use burner accounts, most won't, and that means more data to share with advertisers.

Consider a non-combat cantrip. You are a fighter and generally have a more optimal solution in combat using your class features.

Maybe something that fits the theme of your class: Mage hand - fits the echo knight theme of making a spectral hand to grab light things or pull levers. Minor illusion - more illusions and distractions, or mock up a battlefield diagram to share your plan. Message - battlefield commander ability to silently share plans before an attack Mending - maintain your own gear Prestidigitation - cleanup after battle, cool your undershirt on a hot day in armor, warm your coffee at night, start the campfire, show people a palm sized replica of your target/enemy.

Pick something that encourages roleplay out of combat. Give yourself some reason to engage in the downtime action between fights. It will hopefully give you a richer experience.

It's not about security, it's about liability. You can't sue OSS to get shareholders off your back.

I don't think it's a valid argument against metric, just a thought experiment to consider about the time needed to implement. Converting would be a slow process, but I agree it could be an economic boost as swapping things is a largely a manual process

Sometimes I like to think about the logistical challenges with a switch to metric. The one that always gives me pause is highway signs. Thinking about the monumental task of replacing every speed sign, distance sign, and mile marker across the country in any timely period makes my head hurt.

It could certainly be done, and is probably easier than I think with all the state DoTs working independently on it especially over time. We have a lot of road with a lot of signs.

You act like the two options are mutually exclusive.

There are 3 types of cones in the human eye, which reactive to different bands of the spectrum. They peak at approximately red, blue, and green. Our brains are good at combining that information to make it appear seamless. Colorblindness is generally a genetic defect in the production of one or more of those type of cones. https://askabiologist.asu.edu/rods-and-cones

Pretty much every finance department in every company boils down to a handful of excel spreadsheets. This is not a new development. The new development is it's in Google cloud or o365 now instead of on a shared drive with no access control on an unpatched file server in the closet down the hall.
