I have no idea how this hypothesis ("guns protect from oppressive governments") is still holding people's minds captive. The current regime in the US disproves this every day, constantly eroding civil rights and not even bein

Well, the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_Crisis_(2011%E2%80%93... definitely did change some things around. I currently would not recommend visiting Egypt, when there are so many safer and more pleasant options

As the article was a bit light on actionable info, I'm throwing my favourite review website in the ring. I completely trust it and therefore don't have to do my own testing, as it is often recommended on sites like budgetlightforu

Not all forests are the same. Old growth forests have a lot more diversity than something cut down in the 1800s, so that would fall under "dramatically worse for insects" imho. Of course not for all insects, but I would guess that

I always thought the American meme about Lüften / Stoßlüften was just about the fact that people like exotic names for normal behaviours. Are you telling me that there is a significant percentage of people in the US who don't full

Damn, both her Wikipedia article as well that of her as her "archenemy" Rose Pak are fascinating (even though I don't like either of them based on what I read).

Ah, my bad, I thought that everyone built CR boxes with carbon, but that's not the case. The standard design doesn't use carbon at all. Thanks for the correction.

I just wanted to let you know that the reason you're being downvoted is probably the perceived condescension in your use of the Myers Briggs test (which is effectively just a horoscope for pseudo-intellectuals).

I bought an aranet 4, it's quite eye opening how you sometimes get a lot of CO2 buildup without even noticing. I mostly solve any issues with VOC by "Stosslueften", but if that's not enough because the air quality outsid

I upvoted because even though I prefer backpacks, it gave me the idea to try to create a movie prop bag. And also because there are few "hacker" submissions nowadays, and I consider this one of them.

Thank you. So far I'm not using a press and relying on mallets instead, with all the limitations that result from that. But it feels more fun to me this way :) But as I could just attach such a die to a handle myself, I'll probabl

I know it's a rather privileged thing to say, but I just passed up a job opportunity because I don't want to get back to 30 paid vacation days. Once you get used to 47 (took a voluntary paycut of 5 percent for 12 extra days), whe

Don't even try, you won't get a reasonable answer. I've had a discussion with a similar commenter here quite recently, and in the end, they ignored my arguments and still pretended that I admitted that "Europeans view Am

I find it hard to believe that such an important piece of news would not be reported earlier by more reputable news sites, and already be on the front page of hn. Since the ny post is known to spin a web of lies around a kernel of truth (wh

I immediately thought that it feels much easier to carry something with the pole in the picture because the weight rests more closely to a point on the y-axis going through your center of gravity, as opposed to carrying it at the side of yo

Well, that situation has a bit more complexity, my comment was getting rather long anyway, and I didn't think it would help anyone if I also tried to address it. I also suspect that this comment won't help, either, but I'll t

Just in case you are interested in a European perspective, and aren't just commenting to let off some steam because of perceived injustices: > we work longer hours and take less vacation. Yes, but people working longer hours doesn&#

If anyone in here buys it anyway, they could test if it works with leather, too. That would open up a lot of additional projects.

Sorry if it wasn't obvious, my reply was meant as an analogy. The parent comment said "The sole reason Russia invaded Ukraine was that it was flirting too much with NATO." So I wanted to show that people have also used cheap

The sole reason Germany annexed Czechoslovakia was was that there were atrocities being committed against the Sudeten[0]. He even made a speech at the Sportpalast in Berlin in which he stated that the Sudetenland was "the last territor

That sounds highly inefficient and therefore unlikely. Just thinking about the logistics of slaughtering all these different breeds of dogs makes me doubt that it can be done profitably.

This line of thinking is based on the assumption that the law applies people close to the current president with the same rigour as it does to the average person. I would expect that a brief look at the current situation in the US suggests
