I owned a Crown Victoria, particularly at night - if I didn't drive 10+ over the speed limit I'd bring the freeway to a halt. At night I could part the red sea with it (people would just move out of my way if I was going like I wa

I like the vintage stuff because its usually easier to operate, and better built. My vintage west bend percolator makes the best coffee you'll have - it makes maxwell house taste good. I have 60 year old Zenith radios that work great,

A 500 set is not really well optimized for 40ma+ of loop current.

I also have rotary phones, use vintage radios, prefer vintage appliances, and listen to vinyl. I thought I was a little odd - nope, I'm just a normal level of odd in comparison.

Yeah, I chortled at that line too.

And I'm not sure that that static tests would have caught the failures plaguing the N1.

I am amazed there is an wiki article for this.

There is a very good argument that the real inheritor of the HP DNA is Keysight.

With the unwinding of twitter, RSS has become invaluable to me as a replacement.

I think within reason, people should be able to chose their own destiny - we shouldn't lie to ourselves however and assign people agency in cases where they have none - most employees have little agency to exercise in the relationship

You get it - when someone is hand to mouth, their theoretical market freedoms are pretty limited, particularly in this field when everyone else is using the same materials.

I wish I could read the rest of the memoir, alas I do not speak Japanese. I'm unable to determine if the rest of it was published somewhere.

It's not clear that this would affect how a state agency regulates, or their regulatory power. Federal and State authority are derived from different sources.

I believe the runway for that is running out, for a couple of reasons. But I want to preface this with something, while rural Texas will remain Ruby Red no matter for the time being, but suburban voters - in particular suburban women, are n

I live in Texas. The values exposed by our state government officials are often at odds with Texans generally - its particularly true for Urban Texans - but even with rural Texans there is a sizable disconnect (see the latest battle about s

From a UX perspective? Yes. From a system design perspective? https://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&stor... I think there are meaningful lessons from Macintosh for any budding system designer, without

I dont believe it to be an outrageous statement that late polytheistic roman empire was more tolerant than early christian monotheistic roman empire. As a parallel commenter noted however, the level of official tolerance varied by era,

There is a good coherent argument that the conversion to Christianity added additional instability to a system that was already very unstable. It may not have been fatal, but it probably contributed to a process that was already happening.

But what other sects was it tolerant of? Being intolerant of an insurgent monotheistic faith doesn't mean that it was not broadly tolerant of other faiths.
623.
by Aloha 3y ago
No disagreement - my point was that the adoption of Christianity all at once as the state faith, reduced religious tolerance, particularly in the early years. But yeah that was part of what I was getting at - but I kinda just responded with

Declining religious tolerance was another effect - though what the practical effect of that was? hard to say.

Doesn't matter it still goes up, the mortgage note you owe 75000 2003 dollars would cost you 126000 now. Because while it's true in 2003 you made 35000, and now you make about 60000, you're still slightly ahead.

I've been the guy swept away, repeatedly. In the end the next time the billionaires blow the thing up, they'll get a bailout and I'll get a haircut, so I might as well get my slice of the pie now. For all the crowing, the imp

Indeed, now the sticky part of this, user takes a loan out in the same line as a HELOC, either on real property or securities - they pay the loan off, what do they do? My answer is to give them tax credits, transferrable tax credits, they c

Yeah, or to extract earned equity.

I mean, maybe? If the weatherman is consistently wrong, is it me who is experiencing different weather wrong, or the guy who made the prediction in the first place?

Any case where you are extracting unrealized gains should be taxed. A first mortgage probably not, but we tax reverse mortgages, why not tax other vehicles?
