How can you say 'no big loss' just because you personally didn't find it useful?

There's probably all sorts of complications when sending a battle axe around the world. I don't think it would get past Australian customs without some additional documentation for example.

I run 2 Reddits on my calculator watch using C++ and CouchDB so clearly the technology is at fault here.

The average developer only produces about 500 lines of code per month, although LOC is such a bad metric that nobody is researching this anymore.

2 girls 1 cup is some of the most horrific scat on the net. Have you seen it? It's probably illegal in most countries.

There's an annual RPS tournament in Las Vegas with a $500 buy-in. Andy Bloch from MIT blackjack team and high stakes poker fame is one proud RPS champion. Pretty serious business!

They left cube-corner reflectors on the moon that we bounce laser beams off for distance measurements. That should be enough to convince most people, since lots of places will have the equipment to verify it?

The trouble is we don't really know the root cause of major depression. We know a little bit - e.g. it's partly genetic - but we usually can't 'resolve the root cause'. Treating the symptoms is not pointless.

But antidepressants do work for some people, even if we don't understand the precise mechanism. I agree that the 'chemical imbalance' theory is probably wrong and certainly oversimplified but for some individuals life is significantly bette

This isn't just a flat opposed engine, it uses 2 pistons per cylinder. It's a combination of the flat n and the opposed-piston engine.

Coal power plants release a LOT of radioactive material into the atmosphere, much more than the couple of barrels of nicely storable waste a nuclear plant produces.
