Thats so not the Google Way. The Google way is develop innovative product, launch while still immature. Promote the team to a new project. Kill all support while the B team tries to fix all the problems. Kill the project within 3 years of launch.

Unless the product is mining the userbase for new ways to advertise in invasive ways, then it will be pushed to the absolute limits.

Their once vaunted search engine - Top 3 results are now ads (sponsored links). 1 actual result (barely fits in the screen of my 27" monitor), followed by 4 "Suggestions"

Ok, cool security feature making the solution slightly more complicated, but...

Apple systems can absolutely know that's the same AirTag that was "muted" and its ownership hasn't changed (like if I stole an airtag out of the collar and reset it to be mine, Apple knows the AppleID linked has changed). So a check in with Apple's servers should be done before alerting, which it likely does already (they don't alert while my wife is with me because I am with my airtags), its only if airtag not with owner and airtag is with subject while subject moves to new place @ greater than 20 minutes or some such

Well thats way too short a time.

There's an option right in the screenshot "Don't notify me about this AirTag", I've never used it but I assume that does exactly what they want? don't warn me again about this particular tag for a while.

Still I agree it would be great to "share" airtags with other family members or even outsiders

> It's not supposed to be used as a pet tracker.

There's no issue with using it as a pet tracker. Its not Ideal for it, as the location updates aren't as fast as needed; we have a Fi tracker that notifies us when the dog goes outside "home", it can be put into lost dog mode and updates once a minute or faster (at a cost of battery life). But visiting an in-law our dog escaped the backyard. Neighbor found it and brought them inside for safety. Would have worked great in that case.

In college in 1948, so wealthier demographic, and white. Raise that average age at death. They also survived to at least 18.

White and female alone puts average lifespan at 78.1. "2.91 years for women who are among the top 5 percent of income earners in America" So ballpark 50% made it to 82. In the total US population nearly 30% of females live into their 90s.

This falls of quickly though, only 16.7% of women make it to 92. and only 6.4% to 96; our range assuming typical college ages. (Per SSA tables)

Based on that, out of roughly 70 women aged 92-96, 3 to 4 will be alive today

No, because this is overblown. It will get tweaked until the numbers come down, but from the article - 71 false calls in a minimum of 48 hours, possibly 72 hours (is a weekend Fri-Sun or just Sat & Sun?). My bet is 72, so thats 1 call an hour. How long does a call take? 5 minutes? 10 minutes? Meanwhile, having an accident on the slopes can easily lead to a traumatic injury that leaves you incapacitated and in the middle of nowhere. Whats their regular call volume?

I'd stick with 90 minute mud as a beginner, more waiting but more time to figure out what you are doing. Pure mud you'd need to get it pressed through to create new keys for adhesion, and the horsehair & sand in the greycoat adds strength, not sure pure plaster would last as long

I strongly recommend using a setting type plaster/joint compound when filling large areas. It will cure in the time indicated (5-90 minutes) no matter how thick its applied, heat management is the biggest concern

Final result is softer

it must air dry, so thicker coats will take forever to dry, vs the powder that "cures" via chemical reaction with water

As the others noted, it shrinks more, which creates problems when filling in big/deep areas

That is the stuff, instead of setting when mixed with water via chemical reaction, the bucket/premixed stuff dries, you can't apply it too thick, hence the setting type for the main leveling. Its also a lot softer than the setting type, so its easy to sand.

There's bad advice here. The lathe originally was covered by a plaster blend, plaster mixed with horsehair (readily available then) and sand, both of which added strength and "bulk". You can look it up with some research. If you want it "restored", find a plaster who knows the old ways.

Far more practical, and what I've done, is to cut drywall to fit, screw it to the joists/lathe, using 5/8, 1/2, and 1/4 inch boards to get as close without going over to the original thickness.

Get some 90 minute setting type plaster/joint compound (NOT the bucket of pre-mix) to fill in the "gap"; Don't over fill because sanding is a huge pain. Use paper tape to bridge from old plaster to new to prevent cracking

Final level happens with the sandable pre-mix stuff, then sand smooth.

Make sure what is left is well attached, there are kits to help secure remaining plaster if its loose.

Its the reimbursable part.
