The time it takes to "deal with it" has gone up quite a bit, too. When I was a kid the trash guys would haul anything away that was less than four feet wide. All kinds of furniture, beds, electronics, used paint... whatever. It

Hahaha. My mother still does that. She has boxes full of neatly folded used gift wrapping paper. She also used to wash ziploc bags for reuse.

It was a capital offense to discuss to spread rumors about the camps, whether or not they were true.

By 2001 a lot of the problems java was designed to address were going away for other reasons. When it first came out it had some major advantages: It was free, so you could try it in the corporate setting without spending thousands of dol

Java Web Start is still really useful for desktop applications in the corporate setting, though Oracle isn't putting much effort into it.

This article seems completely unmoored from any historical context.

It's probably not good for your circulatory system to be mostly motionless for long periods of time, sitting or standing.

Yep. The problem with this sort of thing is the definition of "hate crime" will stretch and grow to cover a whole lot of people to whom it shouldn't apply. Also, they're inevitably going to make mistakes. How are they

I don't think it's reasonable to say you should be putting away a percentage of your gross. You have taxes and expenses, and your savings comes out of what's left. My point was that "what's left" part can be

Even if it's a one time bonus it's a pretty good deal for people who were looking to get out anyway.

Large salaries only lead to higher savings if they don't get gobbled up by taxes and a high CoL.

Yeah, this article is great news. I have a relative with a severe reaction similar to yours - I swear it's off to the hospital if he looks at something that was processed in the same state as food with peanuts. It's heartbreakin

What it will change is your sleep will be uninterrupted by transfers, and there's no chance you'll sleep through your stop. If it were me I'd get a van and put a bed in the back so I could lie down.

Yes, but with a self-driving car you'll be able to sleep during your commute.

I liked xwindows very much. Still do. What other system allows you to use your local window manager to control windows from multiple different machines?

But China abandoned socialism in the '70s. It's only been since then the country started to turn it around.

Not even close. 40 million people starved to death under the communists.

I don't know a good label for the US healthcare system, but it's so heavily regulated it's impossible to call it "private". >Just because the Soviet Union fell over doesn't mean that capitalism has somehow b

Except that there's no indication Breitbart had any involvement in Charlottesville (and anyway the rioting was mostly Antifa). Here we have tweets from people plugging their organizations and promising disorder.

It's not overreach if the political organization is behaving like a criminal organization. Much of the rioting and property damage at the inauguration was clearly planned, so the DOJ is just doing its job here.

This system is expensive enough that its purchase really ought to be left up to the consumer. A rule mandating sawstops would double the price of entry level saws and put them out of reach of hobbyists.

I work on a big company with offices all over the US. My team is spread out over five different offices (which is pretty impressive given there are only seven of us). There's not much difference between being the only one on your tea

Bubbles always take far longer to burst than you'd think, but when it happens, it happens fast.

In theory that's true. In practice it really isn't.

This isn't even close to being true. The Russians alone have more than enough to destroy a single US carrier.

'62 then. We may have gone to war accidentally in '83, but in '62 it would have been on purpose, with full knowledge of what it entailed.

One. There's only one under construction with and additional one planned.

I doubt anything but nukes kept the US and Russia from going to war. Hell, aside from a few screwups, we almost went to war despite the nukes in 1963.

by gozur88 9y ago
It's not just the nukes. What makes arms races start is a relative parity of force. If you have one carrier and the US has eleven, there's no point in building another one or two without building ten. So you either bite the bul
