You left out the very important and difference making cost of gasoline. Which over 10 years of driving would more than make up the difference in cost.

Ah, but that's the value of the strategy! Your roofer or doctor or whoever should have only a local area code. So out of those 27 spam calls, you only need to answer the 2 that came in from where you live now. That's a 90%+ reduct

This is somewhat of a nit-pic, but that's a very incorrect way to use the idiom "drank the kool-aid". You're using it here as a substitute for "I believed what he said", when in fact "Drank the kool-aid&qu

What bubble? People will never leave San Francisco en masse. The "exodus" during the pandemic will be the greatest outflow of people from the city for the next decade. San Francisco can build more housing to accommodate a higher p

There's a reason raspberry pi's are on arm. x86 does not do well in small form factor and would actually perform far worse is this situation.

no one on earth has that much cash. 20K * 1M people is $20B. All the billionaires in America do not just have that much money just laying around. This would be a budgetary concern of the federal government. No citizens could individually pa

Climate was a factor but not the primary factor in their extinction. Like the vast majority of all ice-age megafauna, they could not co-exist with the rapidly expanding human population and were driven from the land that sustained them and&

Square's entire merchant dashboard was in CoffeeScript. Half a million lines of code. Took over a year to convert to ES6.

That's a flawed way of looking at tax statistics. Sure, it's $60k per tax payer by just dividing the total paid by the tax payer cardinality. And in that sense, that much of the federal budget that you have a voice for was allocat

The vast, vast majority of cases of car theft are not theft to fence the car, but rather as an untraceable means to commit further, far more profitable crimes.

You are using the term "deplatform" completely wrong. None of the things you mention are platforms. Mail is not a platform. Roads are not a platform. Electricity, water and gas are not platforms. These are all examples of point to

Quick note, no matter how unfair states may think they have it, "remaining in the Union" is not a choice. This isn't the USSR. Statehood is eternal. Secession is quite literally treason and the Civil war was in that sense con

Notice how none of these entirely out of context quotes are encouraging crowds to overthrow the government to overturn an election. Also, note that when these people use forceful language, they are talking about fighting for their rights to

People deplatformed from facebook and twitter were deplatformed for a good reason. So yes, they should be deplatformed everywhere else. And this policy works just fine with freedom of speech, seeing as hate speech, threats of violence and i

The BLM protests were explicitly non-violent. The riots that broke out were swiftly condemned and not supported by any organizing group. At no point did any leader express any kind of approval of violence. And most importantly, no one told

I would define terrorism as forced coercion of an outside group (or group perceived to be "outside") through violent actions. Controlling through fear. So yes, any assassination, and especially that one, would be terrorism. Howeve

You mean the fictitious boogeyman "group" that not one member has ever been identified and the movement for black rights that was widely brutalized by the police? I suppose not, seeing as one is a fantasy and the other clearly had

"All sides" is not a valid argument when we're talking about a specific group that specifically planned and tried to overthrow the government. This is not a "both sides are the same" world.

No one gets a free pass, that is disingenuous. These two things are not the same. Facebook makes a good faith effort to scale content moderation. Parler did not.

It's chilling how quickly radical terrorist groups have coalesced around using social media to coordinate their hatred and their attacks. A scant few years ago, America actively fought terrorists instead of encouraging and facilitating

While a lot of BLM land is uninhabited, it is not all like that and not necessarily intended that way either. For example, the entirety of California's coastline is BLM land. The BLM simply functions as the kitchen sink of land managem

Yes, that's a bad thing. This is the primary mechanism that has stagnated Japan's economy since their asset bubble burst in the 80's. If you want to start a business you need investment and customers. You will get neither if
