This is true. I have rifles that are 100 years old, and they are in as new condition. Clean and oil after firing and they will last forever. The majority of my rifles are old...30+ years and are as new. I haven't purchased a new rifle

They do a base calibration. Do a Google search for Dell Calibration report. It shows what they calibrate. Keep in mind, it's still a pretty loose calibration. I've never once gotten two of the same models that look the same out of

The old and the poor are increasingly left out of public transport. The city where I used to live removed the bus routes from the poorest parts of the city and opened up new routes to the richest part. Buses on the new routes were almost al

No, it's completely not designed for me. My local supermarket has kept the same items in the same places for 5+ years. They keep things in stock by going to the store room and filling shelves up when they get low. Just In Time Delivery

It gives the store a scruffy, downmarket image. Also, it removes convenience. If I cannot get all the items on my list at a single store, then I will immediately stop going to that store...likely to never return. Companies have been trying

A Corolla or Civic will generally be more reliable than a Focus, and have greater resale value. Compare a used Focus and Civic in the same model year, condition, mileage, trim level, and price. The Civic sells for $3k more than the Focus.

This has been known for a while. Seismologists discovered it and tracked one at 5000 MPH. The ability to be anywhere in the world in a very short time is a compelling tool for the military.

They used to publish the effectiveness but quit in the early 80's. It's easy to track anonymous users when the same anonymous users show up for the same meetings for years. AA has had a LOT of meetings over the years, so coming up

Bolt and Model S occupy two very different areas of the car market. The base trim Model 3 and the Bolt are competitors.

My parents let me walk to the corner store alone when I was 5. By the time I was 8, I'd be gone all day doing who knows what; the big rule was to be home for dinner. Allowing your kids to roam around like that these days will get CPS c

I'd blame work and stress. Your average person is working longer hours for less financial benefit, while the cost of basics (housing and health care) has gone way up. Longer working hours for less money makes people tired and stressed.

Federal watchdog agencies and underfunded, understaffed, and overworked. The people need replacing are the nitwits that have long since been purchased by the companies they are supposed to be protecting us from.

Not outright. Porsche took inspiration from a few sources. Notably Tatra as I had already mentioned, but it's not a long shot to figure that Ganz's ideas made it into the mix in a fairly hearty fashion. The Beetle itself is an ori

Hitler was influenced by Tatra, a Czech automobile company. If you look at that sketch, it is solidly Tatra. Porsche himself was deeply influenced by that company. Many of the basic ideas of the Beetle had been done before by Tatra, includi

A very little bit of sugar that's in a pinch isn't any kind of a problem. Even a tbsp isn't that much. The problem is the massive amount they put in drinks of all types...and foods of all types. They even put it in bread for

I'd stick with PS if I were using it in a professional manner simly because it is the standard. Affinity Photo is perfect for me because it does 95% of what I want, and it has really good .psd support so all those gigs of .psds that I

Updating is optional. $50 is a one time purchase, but I don't know how they intend to handle major version pricing. No annual pricing, no subscription...just pay once and done.

I had to give up. I got tired of the CC app itself breaking and requiring reinstall way too often. And this is on two different platforms! To uninstall, I had to get an uninstaller for the uninstaller because it broke. I got the trial for A

Gordon Ramsay is one of the most experienced and successful restaurateurs ever, and has had numerous failures along the way. Before he became TV famous, he worked in his restaurant every day until 1 AM, and back to it 6 hours later...every

Apple has the best liability in the business. Dell's three year failure rate is almost 20%. Apple's is 10. fwiw, I use Dell XPS boxes.

The failure rate for the big Windows laptop makers is 18-19% in 3 years. I am pretty sure they've all adopted a basic component level QA process and lets the customer be the QA for the final product. I've only dealt with Dell and

It's at about 460 watts TDP just for the CPU and GPU alone in top configuration, assuming standard clocks and volts. Apple will have to live with throttling, or find top-binned parts that can be undervolted and downclocked while remain

Lenovo had a BIOS that would download and install their own crapware. You could image it all you wanted, and it would still inject their own garbage into Windows.

It's not a step in any direction. You still need to burn fossil fuels to mine the materials needed to produce electric cars, and you still need to burn fossil fuels to manufacture and transport them from point of manufacture to sales.

The most telling fact is that there is no clear bias of experience in these accidents. This simply means that the method is wrong. For sure, this is a bit like calling water wet, but people will continue to turn themselves into high perform

My new Dell XPS 15 is easy to service. 12 screws on the bottom gives easy access to the ram, battery, drive slots, and wifi. The heat sinks and pipes for the CPU and GPU has what, 8 screws? The screws don't need to be removed to clean
