A firearm entirely made of plastic doesn't seem practical, you really need metal and we've had CNC metal-working lathes since the 60s. Why haven't people started making their own firearms? Probably its much cheaper to just buy a gun. Althou

For example: - Bavaria is shown to be a Austrian possession in 1800, which is incorrect. Consider the implications if Bavaria was a part of Austria for a while - would there be a Southern German nation? Or would be in fact inconsiderable th

I prefer the maps in Wikimedia Commons - there are some amateur maps, which may be even better than some lifted from expired-copyright atlases. There are quite a few different historical maps of the same year/region - it is very important

I think the biggest hurdle to pass for most of my friends is getting beyond the dozens of lines of code and into the hundreds and thousands of lines. How do you teach that?

Rolling releases and the 6 month-release cycle the worst thing about Linux. I hate it when I have reinstall and upgrade because of compatibility so often - there is zero new functionality and rather that reducing bugs, the distributions rep

There are violent video games everywhere where kids are wealthy enough to buy them. While games are blamed everywhere some societies are more violent than others. Why isn't any discussion about violent video games international? Also, gun v

Sure, my assumption is that usually people want to multitask during most activities. Reasonable I think, most of the time.

I think going back historically, overlapping windows appeared on PCs around the same time as VGA (more powerfull platforms had them earlier). The early apps didn't have so many features (and menus) and often had to work together often so it

I'd second that. This book gives you a lot of wrong ideas (for example how banking works), a lot of moralizing and nothing at all about useful new concepts like monopolistic competition and externalities. You will learn much more about main

Stereotypes and generalizations are so common because they are useful, not because Americans are ignorant. Not just because no one cannot remember every detail about everything - generalizations are models, simplifications of reality, which

I really miss old-fashioned forums. I know you can point out that they weren't that different from this site or that facebook groups are not that different, but it doesn't feel the same. I hope they enjoy a Renaissance someday soon and coh

I've done some of the things in the list with good intentions, but it seems I might have sabotaged myself. It wasn't deliberate sabotage, but I'm told it looked that way. Is there a 'proper' way of proposing a counter-plan or making a sugge
