   We need the police. I guarantee the alternative power structures that would develop in their absence would be worse. This said, if we want people to sign up for the role, there needs to be some protection and privacy in place for them. They

   You make an interesting point. Take if for what you will, but there was/is very 'big organized stuff' going on in the illicit gambling world. I had a close family member who spent the end of his life in the Federal custody fo

   This should be the top comment. Without a race to the bottom on infrastructure, SaaS pricing is sort of stuck.

   I had a very similar experience, however it was Nebraska, not Texas. Pandemic happened and everyone went panic mode for about two weeks. Local government said they were going to base restrictions off one metric, hospital capacity, and then

   You are erecting a barrier in your mind that does not exist in reality.

   I agree heartily. Somehow we have all the media at our fingertips, but content discovery is miserable.

    But I don't pay for any of that now, and never have (Amazon video aside, which comes with Prime, a service invaluable to my wife). If YouTube's ad blocking finally comes for me, then I will cease to use YouTube.

    100% agree. This and the nifty little feature that lets you stop webpages from being notified that the window is no longer on top or the screen is no longer on.

    This is the way. I'd probably do four controls though. Higher end CNC-esque jog dial for control. ex. http://pico-systems.com/images/pendant.jpg (10th of a second increments maybe. Sometimes putting in 3 seconds t

    No (I think), unless your are just talking about hybrid vehicles which have been in use for a very long time. You are proposing a vehicle with redundant drive systems and two primary sources of fuel. This only makes sense in very specialize

    Targeted at nerds who ride motorcycles perhaps? Other than the Revzilla guys, what motorcycle tech/errata video channels do you recommend for the discerning and mature?

    All photos are migrated from phones to a SSD Raid setup as space fills up. Wife copies some photos, prior to migration, to a Google Drive folder that is shared with extended family. We don't use 'traditional social media'. Ph

    I actually agree with you regarding the welfare essentials program, at least as far as you've described it. We would likely have some disagreement about what constitutes essentials, especially with healthcare, and I don't think th

    You come across as a bit of a dick, but I do think you have a solid point. I'm glad you didn't get flagged. Someone else mentioned food stamps being 'this way' and I wanted to add an anecdote of my own. At one point in m

    I agree there are limits, but I think you are setting a pretty low bar with the given example. Just because they aren't designed to fly doesn't mean car acquisitions don't need to be 'pre-flighted' and taken for a s
