   I'd love for Musk to do what Rumble did to France when France demanded censorship - just block the country from the service. This crap is out of control. I can't believe the "hate speech" laws in the UK - utterly barbar

   They could do more by just not growing water intensive crops like almonds in a desert.

   you can run the tank hotter and use a mixing valve to deliver hot water at a safe temperature. Let's you have a smaller, more efficient tank and also ensures your water heater is hot enough to never get infected with the bacteria that

   "Society" can't solve anything. The vast majority of our problems are from people trying to solve crap from a top-down perspective - and failing. As others point out just let the markets rebalance. Building bankruptcies wer

   Or the new business popping up where people now are? It's not a zero sum game - but a huge loss for all the 15 minute city cultists.

   I had a windows CE phone before the iPhone came out - my biggest regret is waiting for my contract for it to expire before switching to the iPhone :p

   Why would someone admit their obvious lack of rudimentary skills? The only time I ever have an issue is with grocery stores and produce - but most everywhere else and as others pointed out, at costco, self checkout is a godsend.

    abusing hardware features to run a ring level lower than the OS is a huge security problem! Not sure why that seems to be overlooked so frequently in comments?

    I'm sure ham-fisted top-down mandates will have zero unintended consequences. Especially since we can't even generate enough base load power now, let alone manage the resources needed to make batteries and motors at scale. Yippi

    Well Apple updates are far more infrequent than Microsoft with Windows so you are still probably way ahead :p When prompted I just pick "Later" and my Mac updates at night. Automatically. When I'm not using it so unless it w

    There are fewer and fewer reasons to buy new PC hardware as the decades have marched on. CPUs and GPUs have been overpowered for all but niche markets - and yes, gaming is a niche market. I've been averaging 7 years or more for my ma

    The simple may see it as astroturfing, others see it as an observation by those paying attention. I'm now living in a house I own without a mortgage because 20 years ago I bought a house and didn't rent. Utilities and property t

    AGM batteries are a lot more durable than regular lead-acid. They can cost a bit more but for me the longer life, more resistances to issues if you do run them all the way down and their sealed, maintenance free nature makes them the first

    I dunno - academia has almost priced itself out of practicality, drunk on "cheap" government loans without having to provide any concrete benefits for their services. The veneer is starting to crack.

    Be sure to not let any dead children go to waist! So predictable as well as disgusting. Even the killer understood the value of having armed people on site - skipped one location because it would be too risky. Boom! But no - it's mo
