How is this different from any other roguelite game that has random rewards, sometimes in card form, that also don’t cost anything? This comparison is ridiculous. Because runs are so ephemeral and you don’t actually keep anything, I don’t s

How? Besides the scoring mechanism involving poker hands, and the cards being standard 52 cards, it basically has nothing to do with gambling. It’s a standard press-your-luck roguelite style game.

Imagine being an unsuspecting passenger in a taxi cab as it goes straight into a pedestrian at full speed. That possibility alone gives me pause to ever let anyone else drive me around. Cab drivers have an incentive to not cause accidents (

True enough. I suspect many aren’t going to South America since you can’t drive them there… but you can certainly drive all the way to Panama. If you want to head past Panama seems like it’d be easier to ship them directly from the US to th

They have, especially if your standard is Apple devices. Pretty much all Apple devices that still have a headphone jack have extremely competent audio paths, capable of driving the most fiddley headphones. Much better than mediocre audio in

The chips used themselves for sound are perfectly fine. It’s pretty much all Realtek codecs on any motherboard. And even on the sound blaster cards. The only difference between onboard and dedicated cards is a bit more thought and care is p

What about wash sales? Why would that matter? If OP is always selling at a profit then wash sale doesn't matter. Even if it did, then it only matters if you want to try claim a loss at end of year...

Neither can most humans, if we’re being honest. Also, low traction situations are exactly the kind of thing that a computer is ideal at solving. Traction control in EVs is so, so much better than on gas cars purely because the ability to mo

In the same way the dragon hoarding their loot wields immense power over the peasants (strained analogy, I know), having immense amounts of wealth accessible allows for one to wield immense amounts of influence. Just look at what is happeni

This is no less true for the average person. If the real estate market in your area crashes and you own a house, your net worth would crash through other peoples collective action. The only difference is that most of these billionaires are

When people say “make pasta” they typically mean make a pasta dish. This could mean nothing more than cooking dried pasta and incorporating premade sauce. Even making your own sauce doesn’t need to take long for a super tasty sauce. I assum

Sure, that’s a valid reason for a broken use case … but it’s still a broken use case. If your mics weren’t broken then the other modes would be better.

I’d suggest the “off” function on AirPods is used by… almost no one reasonable. I don’t know why an audiophile would use it, honestly. It sounds measurably worse than turning on ANC or Transparency. The only use is if you truly truly need t

The jobs needed for chip manufacturing aren’t primarily EE. It’s largely chemical engineering with specializations related to semiconductor tech. EEs use the tools developed by fabs to make their products, but those are typically separate c

Software jobs are more plentiful, sure, but you’re discounting the extremely high quantity of EE/CE jobs available at semiconductor companies (Intel, AMD, and many smaller ones) and companies like Apple. They don’t pay as well, but the

Importantly, corn syrup is not the same thing as HFCS either. They’re different things (and HFCS is sweeter, too).

They’re not equivalent products, though. Go compare nutrition labels. Mexican coke has more sodium. So it’s not as simple as saying the difference is purely from the HFCS vs sugar.

Then why doesn’t every car score top ranking on the safety tests? It’s not a “solved problem” if you don’t spend the money/effort to solve it. And it absolutely costs money to solve the problem, which a cheaper car may not wish to spen

I wouldn’t call Samsung smart tags equivalent. They’re locked to Samsung phones, require other Samsung phones (that have accepted the terms of service for broadcasting location) to be nearby, and also seem to have limitations around finding

Why? You can do both, if you want to. If a car can’t have good occupant safety, I would find it very difficult to believe its pedestrian safety would be good instead.

The same responsiveness happens with a JBC iron in my experience. Temp hardly overshoots, and you can punch all 120W into a ground plane if you get good enough contact (and have a large enough tip). I've used both Metcal irons and JBC

A 6.9% rental vacancy rate implies an average vacancy of ~3.5 weeks per year. Given the high turnover of many rentals, that seems pretty low to me. Turnaround time just to do a make ready for a new tenant tends to be a week at minimum, some

There’s some very neat designs that only tick the minute hand once per minute, as it’s significantly more power efficient to do so. You just power the hand once per minute, as opposed to continuously driving the hand in small increments.

Not sure why you think that knife (that you posted in the other comment) is substantially safer than a regular knife. It’s similar to wavy-style bread knives, but smaller. The edge of the blade is still extremely sharp and reviewers have ev
