If you can't make it on $200K you have fundamental money management issues.

Your timeframe is a bit off. Piston powered aircraft were not in use in the US military 30 years ago. 30 years ago was 1994. We had B2 bombers, and the F22 was in full development. Also Boeing was developing the F-32 (which lost out to the

Lots of libraries let you volunteer if you're so inclined. Also, you can lobby for better library funding so that they can be staffed better. While you're at it, you need to find a better euphemism for homeless/unhomed people
335.
by greedo 3y ago
You do realize that library budget cuts wouldn't automatically go to housing and feeding the homeless, right? And considering most municipalities seem to treat homeless people as cockroaches, the money would probably go to fund a new s

Oh there's no doubt that the British Army was too small and had suffered tremendous losses before evacuation at Dunkirk. But the Germans had no transports that could have crossed the Channel, especially when challenged by the Royal Nav

It's possible that had the Germans forced a surrender or armistice upon Britain, that the US never gets involved. Domestic sentiment against US involvement was pretty strong and took all of FDR's political skills to overcome for L

Nationalism was coming alive as a powerful political force in the second decade of the 20th Century, so it's hard to estimate what would have happened had Princip missed. Odds are the Black Hand would have simply kept trying to kill th

Hitler's ascension to power was aided and abetted by the ruling class which thought he would be a tool they could control. And the Reichstag fire was just a pretext for Hitler to assume complete control; the Nazis were already in contr

You literally said: "It's not; anti-Semitism as we know today is very much rooted in racial science (well, "science") of the 19th century." So yes, you were talking about contemporary anti-semitism.

by greedo 3y ago
The only way the Nazis would have "won" is if they developed the atomic bomb before the US. Even with many of the emigres that helped with the Manhattan project, that might not have been possible. The Soviets were never going to s

This is splitting hairs in an attempt to minimize both anti-Semitism and the acts of the Nazis.
343.
by greedo 3y ago
But you're assuming Nazi ideology was coherent, when it clearly wasn't in almost anything. The "racial" anti-Semitism was merely a fig leaf provided by quack science of the times. And yes, the Nazis viewed the Slavic peo

by greedo 3y ago
Anti-Semitism as a 19th century development doesn't seem historically accurate. While anti-Semites in the 19th century glommed on to racial theories as backing for their hate, the origins of anti-Semitism are millennia old.

Seriously? I'm as critical of Elon as anyone, but SpaceX is knocking it out of the park. Falcon is arguably the most reliable launcher ever created, and one of the most affordable. There's simply no contest. SpaceX could sit on th

You're assuming that's how pricing works. If I make a product and my COG goes up $100, I don't increase my MSRP by $100, I increase it by $200.

Here's an example of a popular woodworker with no blade guard, (also no mask). Wood particulate is really something you don't want to breathe in... At least he has the riving knife in place. But YT is a cesspool of bad safety habi

A circ saw might not be, but a tracksaw is much safer for breaking down sheet goods. Just not as fast as blasting a sheet of plywood through a job site saw.

Blade guards are the first thing removed in a commercial environment, and probably by a good number of hobbyists who think they'll get in the way. They also can make accurate cuts difficult to align since they partially obscure the bla

Band saws are scary, but actually quite safe in comparison to table saws or radial arm saws.

SS wants this to become a requirement because it elevates the cost of all table saws up towards their entry level gear. Their cheapest saw is $899, when you can get a comparable saw (sans flesh sensing tech) for around $499. If their compet

SS was not the only company to come up with blade sensing technology...

Ha. I've owned a SS for five years and used several of their high end cabinet saws in other shops. No one is going to bother brazing on new teeth on a saw blade. They'll just buy a new blade...

"To be fair, that was almost true." No, it was not even close to "almost true" except for hype from the various hypesters. Waymo currently operates in TWO areas, not three. Phoenix and San Fran are not "fairly diffi

Inevitability has nothing to do with it at all. And there's zero evidence we'll see a "dramatic exponential growth phase...". That's just the same hucksterism we've heard from Musk for a decade. Unless you limi

My local restaurant instituted a surcharge for card users. Kind of irritating but I understand why, considering the margins in the restaurant industry.

Most blunders (at least 1500 ELO and below) are often board observation blunders, where your board vision lets you down. Either you're too tunnel visioned on your own attack or you just expose yourself to simple tactics. When I first s
