They are not. You step up over the sill to get into an SUV, then your feet go down into the footwell. Your eyes end up slightly lower than a person standing (and much lower in a sedan), while a motorcycle is very close to exactly standing (

This long article kept saying the bots were stealing financial aid, and yet never once explained how that worked. Doesn't financial aid go to the school, not the student?

I would not use silver to compare prices from that long ago, silver and gold were both cheaper than today. I would use the salary for a day labor instead. Like if I spend my salary for a day on just nails, vs how many nails a smith could ma

That is not true. If it approaches with less than escape velocity it will gain all the velocity necessary to escape in the process of approaching the Sun. You could think of it as speeding up as it falls toward the sun, it then slows down b

This surprised me also, till I realized the story was in the UK. From my understanding it's much less common to get antibiotics in the UK vs US.

I don't think it's that expensive to do. All it takes is one well written package that is easy to install and this will be come standard. I could even see a data broker centralizing this and distributing tracking to all of their c

Possibly. It's NY it's way more expensive than anywhere else. That's a delta mixer valve which is $100, plus $100 for the trim. A plumber would charge double for that, so $400 for parts. Usually labor is about the same as par

Mozilla wastes way too much money: https://lunduke.locals.com/post/4387539/firefox-money-invest... This loss of funding will be good for them, they can focus on a browser instead of stupid things.

That's the full YouTube player - you were assuming it just has the code for the homepage, but actually it gets the entire player right at the start.

It's a bit difficult in another way: Obviously 50/60hz is not such a high speed that it's difficult to synchronize. The harder part is this: To pump power into the grid you lead the cycle ever so slightly, as if you were tryi

I think you should ask the reverse: What was unique about that time period that created these spectacles? Entertainment and fighting have always existed (and still do), but usually not to the death.

If someone draws a cat, and the next person draws basically the same cat, there is no copyright infringement. You need something "extra", some kind of style that is distinct. I'm not saying your drawing has no copyright - it

You aren't inventing a new letter shapes - letters already exist. You are modifying how they look, and that's not considered creative enough. There are lots of things that can't be copyrighted. For example you can't copy

It's because they are simply advertising a product. It's the "lifestyle" ads that people hate so much.

It sounds funny, but they didn't really "mail" them as you think of the word. Rather they traveled in the company of a trusted adult who happened to work for the post office.

Media companies destroyed journalism by making news into entertainment instead of information. For example by finding the one extremest in a group of people and running stories about his minority - but exciting - viewpoint, instead of the b

That's a wild comment? I find the reverse to be wild. It would never even occur to me to care what comment the attendant would give me about the ticket. You would actually pay attention to what he said? I would care about just one thin

And no one is complaining about people who restrict themselves to that. The issue is those people who want to completely dismantle the state of Israel and evict (or kill) all the Jewish inhabitants. They call themselves "anti-Zionists&

Flying Hamas flags, saying "From the river to the sea", and calling for intifada are all antisemitic, not anti-Israel. Being anti-Zionist - but only to the Jews in Israel, and not the Arabs, is also antisemitic (and racist).

That's a bad idea - the speed bump can be semi-invisible in bad weather, and you'll have cars hitting it at high speed, going airborne and crashing. There's a reason they have large warning signs before a speed bump. There is

Why should someone be able to charge multiple times for the same thing? That entire concept is a legal fiction, and the compromise was to make it last only a limited time.

The real question to ask is what comes next: What will Trump do with the tariff money? That is what's going to determine if the policy is good or bad - if he uses it to boost manufacturing in the US, add jobs, even give people a rebate

Agreed. I'm someone who likes (more or less) his policy ideas/goals but HATES (can't emphasize that enough) how badly they have been implemented!

Intellectual property does not belong to you. The entire concept of "owning" intellectual property is a very recent thing. So how about we go back to how it used to be and just remove this entire concept. You can own things you ca
