> they don't actually want to cut the budget Eh, I would say its well-known in deficit circles that all politicians (intellectually) desire to balance the budget, but it is basically impossible. Social Security, Medicare/Medica

motor1 is a clickbait farm site that specializes in tactics like "make an article from a social media post". Unfortunate that it got so much traction here, probably because the audience here is not familiar with the subject matter

This is flatly false. The HV operating procedures on cars add significant complexity and danger to working on them. In fact, any HV work will automatically add a huge chunk of labor hours to any work and is why anything touching the HV syst

You are sadly getting a lot of answers completely ignoring your requirements. A Voron or RatRig are right up your alley. They are highly customizable, buy a kit as a base, then upgrade components as needed to do more complex printing. They

Realistically speaking, Germany was never on track to produce atomic weapons before their war economy was obliterated by the allies. The program was not taken seriously or had proper investment. The war machine was already severely starved

What should happen? Probably what happened here — disclose and when the developer chooses to ignore it, bring in the shaming and pressure campaign. Someone’s right to tinker and learn doesn’t trump the rights of the victims they are exposin

$1,000 boat, $4,000 in shipping fees. Just buy some kayaks or a canoe or a used jonboat + trailer or pretty much any other solution here. I used to prowl on small ponds with an inflatable boat, lead-acid battery, and trolling motor for WAY

Circumcision in the U.S. is largely unrelated to religion, the Jewish and Muslim populations are pretty small. It is a remnant of a fad from the 1880s and Victorian-era nonsense. It’s now culturally engrained, with dads frequently citing ae

Agreed. The U.S. market had a very long run of both large expensive and small cheap pickup trucks, and people consistently have bought the big luxury pickups. It is why all the small trucks were axed to begin with. Even back in their prime,

You can't really compete in a any real sense when the labor price differential is so massive and the companies and supply chains are directly subsidized. The price does not reflect the product, but all its inputs.

I bought a Maverick and it wasn't noticeably larger than my extended bed ranger, I actually feel like it is smaller, especially considering modern A pillars and such are very thick and rigid compared to the death trap of the old ranger

It is more intuitive if you spend more time in academia / higher education. Even around me, with a bunch of mid-lower tier schools, PhDs and masters are being pumped out semester after semester in very niche areas. In all my time searc

For number 1, there really does need to be some wider reforms, but I fear that won't happen until the whole student loan paradigm crashes and burns. I had a couple of fully paid semesters that were 100% electives I had no interest in.

Bit fields are also common in live service network communication and other large data arrays like graphics calls in video games. Depending on what is being done, packets may not be inflated into proper data structures and left as raw bits t

Just thinking and putting some thoughts out. I guess the question is when does accountability stop? If a company and its descendant employees and products are built on an evil foundation and benefit from it, how do we rectify as a society?

Food motivation isn’t merely “does it want food”, it is more “will it do a complex action for food”. My GSD will spin, sit, stay, speak, shake hands, play dead and do a whole host of back to back commands for a tennis ball, but do maybe hal

At least where I’m from, the vast majority of hunters do it for consuming the animal. Trophy hunters here are pretty rare as that’s more of an (very) expensive luxury rather than sustenance. There is definitely overlap in base stalking skil

Very little substance in this article, I don’t suggest wasting time with it. There is no explanation of the bills, the motives, if it’s about land-rights or budgetary concerns or really anything of value other than “right wing bad”. I want

My electric drivers window is dead and my driving experience is definitely worse. Electrical stuff is so hard to DIY and work on as well and parts are ridiculously expensive.

I recommend more than a modicum of income to be actually responsible. I’ve had a dozen or so mixed breed cats in my life to date. Cancer, diabetes, kidney failure, liver failure, dementia, and FIP have claimed about half of them, with huge

Opposing a social media law “violently” is not an appropriate call to action. That said, the web of yesteryear and the way kids use social media today could not be any more different. Kids mindlessly scrolling through oceans of vanity, teen

It takes years to build trust and one second to destroy it. If you are a fully functioning adult and basically stealing the office stapler, how low are you willing to go? It’s not even about the morality of the situation at that point, it’s

Has the definition of “sucks” drifted? When it came up as slang in my childhood, it basically meant “not cool / unpopular to associate with”. Roblox seems the exact opposite.

Tree should be far away from the drain line. The roots will eventually grow into the pipe. Tree roots are incredible at finding water sources. Even a drop-at-a-time drip from a water pipe will be completely root wrapped in a few years.
