Yes, there is a manual door lock button-thing on the door next to the door latch. Though honestly I don't know if that works when the power is dead. As cars move to "fly by wire" this b…

Electronically, through the settings in the touchscreen panel on the dash. These are not child locks, but rather set the behavior of the door latch when the door is locked.

How do you identify when to perform updates for security reasons?

This is exactly my point - why do something so complicated when many people die quietly in their homes from CO poisoning? Let's just setup a CO poisoning chamber to do the same thing. Or nitrogen…

Tangentially, this is my frustration with the death penalty - it's way too complicated & error-prone when much simpler, reliable, and humane methods are available like this. Humans are easy t…

Maybe try Gum Arabic as thickener? When I make a simple syrup with it the result has a very velvety texture. But it does take a while to fully dissolve - I leave it in the sous vide for a few hours. S…

I use Alton Brown's recipe, and I've sampled at various ages. Personally, I couldn't tell the difference between 1mo up to 1yr. 1mo is the best, IMO, but you want at least 2wks to meld …

The challenge is, how do you teach it? Like many writers, many coders think their code is readable and are resistant to feedback. They literally do not see the problem. You can institute all the rul…
