So, because there is a failure of policing in your locale, we should simply resort to vigilante justice? Looks to me like you should be pissed off at the police in your locale for forcing you to fend for yourself against criminals.

I was in day care one day as a small child when another child threw a ball of clay and it hit the woman who was watching us. She did not see who had thrown the ball of clay but for some reason decided I was the one who had done it. My mothe

I think your idea of what "normal people" can afford is a bit off. Normal people aren't buying $1500 computers. And they definitely aren't buying $3000 computers.

Folks have been conditioned to consider the deserts of West Texas, especially the Permian Basin, to be wastelands with no redeeming value. Personally, while it isn't my favorite landscape or even my favorite desert landscape, I still t

Both you and the other person who responded to me completely avoided the question I posed and hid behind "The Founding Fathers said it should be this way, so it is that way." I didn't ask why it is the way that it is or if it

You completely avoided my question and just gave a lecture on why it is the way it is. I am well versed in why the Senate is structured the way that it is. That is beside the point. The simple fact is we have a legislative structure that do

The desert is not a "barren wasteland." It is a valuable, vibrant ecosystem no different than any other.

Yes, but it only has two senators. The 39.5 million people in California have the same Senatorial representation as the less than 600 thousand people in Wyoming. In what world is that fair or remotely democratic?

If you had read the article, you would know the answer to this question. Calibri is a font designed to be easier to read on screens, which is where documents are primarily read in 2025. Switching to using Calibri as the default was a meanin

Why is that? Do you speak from real-world experience? Not trying to push back. We're planning to use it for some new projects we have coming up on our team of .NET devs who can't seem to grok Angular or React and the entire ecosys

This is an absolutely insane take. By your comment, everyone who has a net worth of less than a billion dollars should just sit down, shut up, and let the rich people talk. We should all have the equal right and ability to have our voice he

Any recommendation of good alternatives to Telerik? We've been using it for years, but I'm open to considering alternatives even though it doesn't cost me anything to pay for the license.

We use Telerik components at my current job. They're a solid library, IMO. I'm sure there's better out there, but we've been using them for nearly 15 years at this point and I feel like we get decent value for the money,

That's what they said they would do. They would buy the physical book and then pirate an ebook copy that's been de-DRMed.
