The kind of problem caused by a manufacturing defect that leads to a recall. Parent's overall point is that you can effectively drive these cars 200k+ miles until the wheels fall off, and if you can't, it's due to a defect li

I'm curious as to how this gets handled in practice - does Valve get forced into adding a feature to transfer game rights from one account to another? Does it merely make selling your account legal? At the extreme, does this cause Valv

Intellectual property does not mean 'copyright', it broadly refers to any sort of creation that isn't physical in nature. Trade secrets are legally enforced differently than copyright in the United States as well, but they ar

Ok, sure, but that's not really a useful metric for a low population density area. Crime in my area is very low, violent crime especially, there's simply no need for that many police - they'd be doing nothing most of the time

There's lots of towns very well-known for being speed traps in my part of the Midwest. My hometown in particular has a police force of approximately 8 full-time officers for a population of 5,000. There's absolutely no good reason

Except it will be ok. Things will change, but things always change. If we can turn things back and reign in the major contributors to warming, great, but we can't change the past, and all of the doom and gloom kvetching everyone loves

I regularly order fruit from these guys and can attest that it's all very good quality. The banana sampler in particular is one of the few ways I can actually get a good variety of bananas outside of being on holiday.

In my experience it's just that other varieties just taste better. The Cavendish isn't bad , strictly speaking, it's just grown because it ships and stores very well.

You can anonymously report this kind of stuff to the police. Whinging doesn't fix anything.

ARDC is notorious for radio silence followed by soundly rejecting claims for address space. They're absolutely squatting on it and hoping it flies under the radar, as noted in other comments.

Cessnas aren't stealth aircraft and don't fly at the same height as drones, and presumably aren't going to be cleared to fly in contested/dangerous airspace.

>Rents aren't cheaper than what I'm paying even in the 'flyover state' cities. With all due respect, this sounds like complete horseshit. How much are you paying for rent?

There's no such thing. You either do work up-front and hope it sells, or you continually work on something to improve it and market it. Anyone telling you otherwise is selling you something, doesn't have any experience in what the
