That is rare but if they really did that the job becomes non trivial. I’d still do it mysely, but I know how to do tile - it isn’t hard but this is now a month long project.

No, but most replacement parts are semi universal parts that can be adjusted to fit the vast majority. However you need to know what toilet you have as each almost universal part doesn’t fit something another one will. Odds are you have a common toilet that any universal part fits - but there are toilets that are not compatible ith anything.

before doing anything though should you replace the whole thing is a question worth asking. do you prefer a round or engladed bowl; what about the height; maybe you want one without stains; or a low water use version that works? It wouldn’t cost much more to replace the whole thing with one that fits you better.

They won’t. While it is unknown if there is intelaigent alien life it is known that none is anywhere close. When distances are measured in tens of lightyears for close thing they can’t get here and back in time to make a difference. Most distances are measured something much larger. Just the milkyway is 25 thousand lightyears to cross.

note that are farthest detectable radio waves have gone maybe 100 lightyears: odds are your are dead before they know we are here.

Most Christian think of it like a cartoon. At least from what I can tell. Nobody actually seems to believe Peter is at the gates, but it is sometimes fun/useful to pretend that is what happens instead of trying to figure out what the judgement day really means (we often think of that like a court room with God as the judge and jury, but the scripture is not clear and so it isn’t really any more correct that Peter at the gates)

You can get by on bad nutriton for a long time but I wouldn’t call it alright.

But your point still stands. If someone is content to not improve

He is eating a lot of fast food. That is not okay, it is harmful to your health (at least in the US). It is possible to find healthy restaurant meals, but it isn’t easy, if you care at all about health you need to cook yourself to get it. Of course once you know how to cook you discover you can cook much better than a restaurant meal for a lot less money.

If you attempted this you would find the majority of electors report it and you get arrested. Electors are the big party supporters and so most are not going to take a bribe. Well maybe you could get the Harris electors (who know they will lose anyway) to support a moderate Republican, but you won’t get any republicans to switch to this new candidate. The never Trump republicans who would thus be willing to switch their vote are not electors.

I suspect it is too little too late. Most small users of VMWare are likely in the final stages of rolling out the replacement. They have chosen the replacement, scoped out what needs to move and what needs to change in processes to move, and are in the final stages of testing before rolling things out. At this point stopping the rollout is even more risky - companies have already figured out they can’t trust Broadcomm and so they won’t go back even if they can measure VMWare as better, it isn’t enough better.

Most mines are underground so for most this can’t work, but where it does they are sure to use it.

there are two legal options for a contract killer: military sharp shooters, and death pentaly executors. Both have options to deal with this. Both have strong limits on what contracts they will take though so probably not what you are asking.

Tesla can detect a crash and send the last minute of data back so all cars learn from is. I don’t know if they do but they can.

A tree is a terrible representation since people will appear in more than one place on it. brother sisters marriages (which did happen) tend to produce deformed kids, but first cousins have good odds for normal kids. By third cousin odds of genetic issues was close enough to zero, but those kids will have six great great grand parents not the mathematical eight. I didn’t mention half siblings but that happens too and a couple generations below could marry safely.

the above isn’t just theoretical. Before modern transport you often lived and married in the same village for many generations. It would often be impossible to find anyone to have kids with that wasn’t at least sixth cousins from more than one path.

I’ve never been in a zoo I’m allowed to drive more thln e wheelchair through. They may require extra training - I would not know

You should know how to brake without causing maneuver problems (including not locking up the wheels). It is a basic skill needed for many situations. Just keep slowing down, the accelerate just before impact is something that can only be done in movies - any real world attempt will be worse - remember if you keep braking you lose momentum, so the acceleration needs to be perfectly timed or it is worse.

I don’t know, where I live giraffes are only in the zoo and thus never on the road. I’m not aware of any escaping the zoo.

I’m sure if I lived around wild deere, my training would include that, but since I don’t I was able to save some time by not learning that.

Deer often travel in herds so where there is one there are often more. In rural area you can go miles without seeing one, and then see 10 in a few hundred feet. There are deer in those miles you didn’t see them as well, but they happened to not be near the road then.

Driving is full of edge cases. Humans are also bad drivers who get edge cases wrong all the time.

The real question isn’t is Tesla better/worse in anyone in particular, but overall how does Tesla compare. If a Tesla is better in some situations and worse in others and so overall just as bad as a human I can accept it. Is Tesla is overall worse then they shouldn’t be driving at all (If they can identify those situations they can stop and make a human take over). If a Tesla is overall better then I’ll accept a few edge cases where they are worse.

Tesla claims overall they are better, but they may not be telling the truth. One would think regulators have data for the above - but they are not talking about it.

Sure, I do that too. I also have had damage because a deer I didn’t see jumped out of the trees onto the road. (Though as others pointed out this case the deer was on the road with plenty of time to stop (or at least greatly slow down), but the Tesla did nothing.

Deer on the road is an edge case that humans cannot handle well. In general every option other than hitting the deer is overall worse - which is why most insurance companies won’t increase your rates if you hit a deer and file a claim for repairs.

The only way to not hit/kill hundreds of deer (thousands? I don’t know the number) every year is to reduce rural speed limits to unreasonably slow speeds. Deer jump out of dark places right in front of cars all the time - the only option to avoid it that might work is either drive in the other lanes (which sometimes means into an oncoming car), or into the ditch (you have no clue what might be there - if you are lucky the car just rolls, but there could be large rocks or strong fence posts and the car stops instantly. Note that this all happens fast, you can’t think you only get to react. Drivers in rural areas are taught to hit the brakes and maintain their lane.

upgrade your house insulation, get a heat pump on the central furnace, and heat the whole house. People have better things todo than closing vents or moving heaters., your central furnace needs most of the vents open to work right.
