Rich people have been paying off politicians forever, Trump isn’t the first, and he won’t be the last. Back the winner until the winner is the loser, then back the new winner, repeat. AKA the king is dead long live the king!

I feel too, at least in the US, people have backed themselves into a corner where they are unable to dole out punishment. Not just for violating or abusing taking their dogs everywhere, but literally everything. Should someone be punishe

I don’t think it’s entirely a mentality issue. I think North America created an environment where you wouldn’t want your 8 year old to navigate New York City. I would let my kids wander Tokyo before I would let them wander Chicago. Japan

Never trust google for anything important, because they will mess with it to get money or cancel it if they can’t get the money, regardless of anything they’ve claimed in the past.

ASUS Proart P16 with the 4070/64gb configuration. Has usb a and c, hdmi, sd card reader, and can be powered over usb c though if you are using the 4070 you’ll want the ac adapter. The build quality is only matched by the screen which

The idea that style and linting define the “craft” is bizarre. What it sounds like you are saying is that you prefer style over substance. Not a single developer I’ve ever revered cared about styling. It’s a means to an end for large team

The point of mocking the DB isn’t to avoid hassle, it’s to not test your dependencies. Technically the calling code might not even know it’s a DB, and it might not even care, or it might be a DB sometimes or an API other times, or even a

The whole point of the mocking the database is to not test the database! If you need to test the database then test the database! Just like mocking an API can hide hidden issues with the API… which is again the exact point of mocking the

I don’t disagree, but you are making the case for regulating grown adults. For the parent post “who decides how long the waiting period should be?” The answer is society. Right now society says none, but it shouldn’t be looked upon in hor

Grown adults are prevented from making decisions all the time. Wearing a seat belt for example. Why should it be OK to force someone to wear a seat belt all of the time, but not OK to have a waiting period if someone decides they want to

Are they underfunded though? How much is enough? Chicago for example pays probably at least 15k per student yet scores poorly. How much do they need? 20k? 50k?

It was an interesting read, but it only says how much they spend on school vouchers. I didn’t see a spend for the standard public schools. They said the average voucher was 7k which is almost for sure lower than what public school is char

I think the lack of quality is not being driven at the individual teacher level and isn’t related to covid at all. Covid made the issues that already existed visible. Removing AP classes and charter schools, graduating kids missing credit

Everyone seems to be saying this but whenever I get quotes they are always the same, for every dollar the hardware goes down the labor seems to go up the exact same amount… strange how that works.

Apple events used to be something I really looked forward too but they are kind of boring now. The hype they give in their events is starting to feel almost a parody of itself. I don't know, I can't put my finger on it, but for

Your real problem is that you've had no mentors and that's not your fault. Software people need good mentors. Always being at a place with few or none programmers never gave you the opportunity to learn by example and that 10 ye

If artists got a penny per stream, I'd create one song and set it up on repeat 24/7. 365 days * 24 hours * 60 minutes = 525600 minutes 525600 / 3 minute song = 175200 streams 175200 pennies / 100 = $1752 So I could pay 1

For some reason I hate the combination of companies and charity. If a company wants to be charitable they should pay their employees livable wages and give them quality benefits. Everyone wants to show how charitable they are but nobody w

"Don't wait for the perfect moment, take the moment and make it perfect" While there is definitely bad timing when it comes to kids, there is never a perfect time. I waited because I didn't really care but now I wish I

I'm surprised that they removed it because it's on the monroney sticker. I bought a BMW that was supposed to get the new/shorter 36 month maintenance included. But the sticker was still referencing the 48 month plan. I didn

We are the same way almost minus the 10 hours a week of football, that sounds horrible to me. Even if my kids wanted to do that I don’t think I’d let them, but I guess it is summer. My parents kept me out of organized team sports until mi

I’m not saying it’s the only factor just a single factor that people tend to overlook. But I think Porsche has a higher percentage of car enthusiast in addition to a higher quality build process. So the owners will take better care of the

Which part? The part that BMWs are driven harder than Toyota’s or that driving a car to its limits more often negatively affects its long term reliability?

I think one thing to remember that people who buy a Toyota drive it like it's... a Toyota. Cars that are driven hard will break down faster than cars that aren't, and I'm guessing the average BMW is pushed harder than the av
