The denials that the article is talking about happened before the shooting.

Every place I've been to with a self serve soda fountain across the US has done free refills. Even a lot of places with the fountain behind the counter did free refills if you asked.

It's not something you would be able to rely on all the time. Security cameras that use IR to see in the dark could be blinded by IR LEDs, but cameras can also have IR filters.

He brings up LED flicker multiple times.

Seems a few people have gotten that confused. Article spent too much time rehashing the change in 15.0 before getting to 15.1 and felt like a typical ragebait article.

Still seems a little ragebaity, they don't really have a lot of proof that Apple has intentionally disabled running unsigned apps. Their argument is that Apple changed the process for running in 15.0 and an app won't start in 15.1, therefore the end of the era of sideloading. Personally, I would've liked more details on that part and less on history of 15.0.

That number should be how the total of upvotes and downvotes you have personally given that user. Useful for finding who to block when you see a troll comment and realize that nearly every comment you've seen from that user has been a waste of your time.

He does want to use Harry to get his body back, which only required a little blood and not his Harry's death, but his plan was to also kill him there. Crouch even brings up that Voldemort wanted to kill him that night. It's different from the 1st book where he only tries to kill Harry after Harry shows up to ruin his plans and the 7th book where Harry forces his arrival at the school by targeting the horcruxes.

It's pretty wild to think that of all the books, only the 4th one involves Voldemort plotting to kill Harry at the end of the school year. He's not in the 2nd or 3rd books and doesn't interact with Harry in the 6th book. He does try to kill Harry at the end of the school year in the 1st, 5th, and 7th books, but his plots in those weren't directly about killing Harry.

I've always felt like people were overblowing the pocket lint thing, since I've never had it happen to me. Just realized that it's because my pockets are too small, so the only pocket I can use is my back pocket with the port sticking out.

My first job I spent 3 years working on a variety of projects that never shipped. It was frustrating at the time, but the experience was good for me. Now I have fun writing code and working with my teammates and if my code doesn't ship, well it's not as bad as not having anything ship for 3 years.

Best place to start (self.startrek)

I've been wanting to get into Star Trek, but I'm not sure the best place to start. I'm sure there's a wide range of opinions.

Some shows 'get good after season 1'. I'm a little worried that I'll end up picking a star trek show with a weak start and then dropping it before the parts people actually like. I vaguely remember reading these sort of comments about TNG.
