EU single stage and European Federalism are not as inevitable as you imply. They are both legitimate but unpopular positions to say the least

That’s because it would not be possible to discuss reasonably these things without writing a thesis. It’s better to hand wave the cost of the externalities and those that are familiar with the domain will understand - rather than writing a

That’s just a tangentially related fact and not very relevant to this discussion from my perspective

I don’t think the electronics spare parts market makes up a sizable chunk of Chinese exports to the West but I could be wrong

It doesn’t make sense to assume SF logistics even on this board because it’s such an outlier. Just my opinion.

I just wish I could have this discussion without finding out that the interlocutor has a top 2% percentile commute distance.

I guess if you consider your commute as purely work time then it starts making more sense. Maybe I’m unusual in that I don’t loathe my commute and see the time as 100% personal time.

In NYC commute times are still under 45 minutes for most tech professionals door to door.

I’ve found the discourse around commute times to be incredibly hyperbolic. 90 minute one-way commutes are an extreme outlier for professionals (USA). Genuinely like two standard deviations from normal.

Turn the selfie viewport off if possible. It’s the only reason that camera on meetings feel worse than in person meetings.

$20k for the company to facilitate your workspace or $20k of net cost to you the employee to comply with RTO? If the latter and assuming a reasonable commute (15-35 minutes) one way how did you arrive at that number?

Did you ever consider downsizing or renting to be closer to work? I can’t imagine choosing to commute that far every day.

For what it’s worth having to relocate for work if the new work isn’t local has been the norm for like 10000+ years. I’m not sure it’s absurd, but it is a trade off.

I’m always confused why the default commute time in these discussions is always 60 or 90 minutes one way. 60+ minute commutes are outliers and I don’t understand why a person would take a job that far away without being aware of the commute

It’s good to see the minimal drag to border behavior coming to all the OSs and DEs these days. I’m a weirdo and use i3 so I relate to this concern and am very comfortable with tiling for lots of applications. However there’s sometimes I wis

What do you mean? Especially by “ignorance of meteors”? Are you opposed to all launches if your preference is zero? Please consider that I’m very familiar with natural and artificial meteor falls if you choose to respond

I’m not GP but your original comment did not come across as neutral

Why do you consider the ideal point for this question absolute 0 zero reentries rather than the minimal number of reentries that don’t cause damage to the atmosphere?

by DiggyJohnson 2mo ago
If it turns out the junk truly disintegrates without any significant affect to the atmosphere then GP is saying that it’s not actually a problem and not actually “junk”. Space junk usually refers to stuff junking up things in the same way a

I genuinely think it’s all three: 1. The cultural factor is rising expectations for children and their parents, costing both time and money; 2. The political/social factor is nanny states and academic institutions that the public expec

As a straight male that does well with dating and relationships I am quietly fascinated by this aspect of gay culture and relationships. It changes so many dynamics. Thankful for the group of guys at our neighborhood bar where we play gays

I don’t see how this isn’t a massive net negative to you personally other than avoiding occasional odd conversation. You can have genuine conversations both personally and professionally with all sorts of people even if you don’t “dress lik
