I don't what the research is in question, but I absolutely think that political extremism, particularly in the context of two party systems, can quantified in at least a semi-meaningful way. Create a list of policies. Poll a large equa

Apple does not actually have a monopoly, Android exists, has more market share, more options and features, and a better ecosystem of compatible smart devices. If Apple is forced to allow third party app marketplaces it is clear what will ha

You know I think Amazon may have gotten better about that in the last little bit. I don't recall being flooded with recommendations for something I just purchased recently.

Probably, but it seems to me the effects of the stigma are for the most part positive, and not entirely undeserved. Does tobacco use deserve to be singled out among the examples you mentioned? Maybe not. But I feel that whatever is being im

It kinda already is right? Many of their defense contracts end up being practically blank checks.

I would argue that the station wagon is a great idea. A car like that allows enthusiasts to buy something that isn't completely impractical for most non-enthusiast things.

There was a time when BMW was an enthusiast's brand, and to a degree that DNA is still there. The M3 remains a benchmark, and by most accounts even the base 3 series is one of the better driver's cars in it's class. But BMW h

The main From Software games (Demon Souls, DS, DS3, BB, and Sekiro). They really are special, and a cut above games like Witcher 3 or BoTW imo. I don't think I have ever played a game where nearly every element was best in class and wo

The value of an engine is not determined by the number of cylinders. You aren't owed a certain number just because you payed a certain amount. An argument can be made that v8+ are capable of being more sonically pleasing, but it ends t

Cookies aren't inherently evil or anything. They are a really important tool for a lot of situations. It's misuse that is the problem, persistent client-side storage is actually pretty critical for some stuff.

That's true, but when op says that, I assume they don't mean any $50 headphones, they mean the best (lets go with least harmonic distortion as our arbitrary criteria for "best") ones you can get in that price range, an

Thanks I appreciate that. I would still prefer a positional switch but that will make a big difference..........once I download the app which I have never used because I just assumed it was bloatware. whoops.

The price is steep as is the apple way, but I agree that saying "EGAD How can they charge as much as HD6-whatevers" when those headphones basically require an external amp just to run is just a little silly.

Happy owner of mx4s here. Great work headphones, but man the UX is bad. On top of everything you mention, it defaults to noise cancelling and turning off noise cancelling (I only want noise cancelling for travel, otherwise I like being able

Oh, don't get me wrong, I love speakers, and I adore filling a room with noise, I just think headphones make more sense to someone interested in getting more depth and clarity out of their music. Edit: For their dollar that is. With un

I'm sorry but you seem to have some sort of vendetta against a group you are branding as audiophiles, which shares very little in common with the vast majority of audiophiles. There definitely an element of being a gearhead, but I just

Sennheiser HD650 + an empirically incredible amp and dac will run you between 1 and 2 grand. For speakers multiply that by 10 at least. And they still won't sound as clear and intimate as something pressed up against your head. And als

I don't think that is fair. It may be true but it isn't fair, and to me, the proper response is to have an absolute zero tolerance policy on this sort of thing. If you are harassing women or really anybody at your workplace you sh

Dogs are more disposable than people? And I love dogs, but I don't see why they would inherently deserve better treatment than a cow or pig, and honestly if you oppose mistreatment of animals, than the cow or pig is probably sufferin
