I don't care what he spent his money on. His crimes were so severe there is no way for him to repay his debt. I'm not sure any founders of America come close to his systematic, deliberate exploitation of minors.

The guy preyed on tons of children. There is not enough time nor money to make up for that, no matter how good of a cause it goes to.

Odd, everything I've seen (that's at least paracord-like) was less prone to tangles than regular cable.

It's very popular in the audio community for making audio cables. I used some myself to make a sleeved and braided aux cable and it turned out really nice. Gives the cable a nice feel. Also, I'm not sure if it's the braiding

I think these issues are a lot more nuanced than that. Maybe I'm completely wrong, but it seems like diseconomies of scale could have an impact on how well the US operates and maybe requires a lot more tax dollars per capita than does

"That's the very definition" sounds a lot more like a statement of fact than an opinion. I want to know where it was defined, and by whom.

Interestingly, Australia currently has the highest minimum wage (in the world) but similar levels of poverty to the United States. In addition, Australia has much higher taxes overall than US, but lower taxes for low-income earners. I'

I mean, technically it's possible. It makes it hard because the supply of low-skilled labor is very high, and you can't bargain to be paid a higher wage for a position, if someone else is available to do it for less.

The free market doesn't leave people helpless, it empowers. With enough effort, you can do nearly anything. Additional regulation usually makes it harder for small business to operate. Actually, let's just make the minimum wage $3

That's a completely different situation, and there's no telling when or if that will happen.

The problem with your logic, is that you still don't define what "full time" equals. There are 24 hours in a day, so is full-time working 24 hours/day? Obviously that's not practical, but then where do you draw the

Well work-life balance has to do with the individual. If you don't want to work crazy hours, don't take a job that makes you work crazy hours, or make it clear to your employer that you wont do that before starting your job. What

Do you have a source to back that claim? I can't find anything that states "full time" equals "living wage". Only referring to the minimum number of hours an employee has to work from receive benefits "part tim

You can't really expect to be paid a living wage at a job that can be done by 14 year olds, can you? There is also a greater supply of low skilled labor available, lowering price of labor. I think you should work 1 to 2 crappy jobs bui

I figured we were talking mostly about US, so technically until you're a family of 3 you're not living in poverty, which seems pretty reasonable. It also probably greatly depends on where you live. Housing prices closer to major&#

I'm not exactly saying not having a family is a sacrifice, but where you want to live. The cheapest apartment I could find in my area (before kids/marriage) was about $700 and that's a few cities away in a no-so-great area wh

How were those people living? Are they single people in their mid 20s with no significant other or kids? Are they making enough to put some towards retirement? I guess if you're willing to sacrifice some things it could work. You'

In addition, if you're shipping smaller heavy items, you can get free shipping supplies like padded envelope and boxes for flat rate shipping which can be a better rate in some cases.

It looks like the post office priced postage at a loss of I think 21 cents per 50 pounds. Government lost about $20,000 to $30,000 annually.

I've had my front airbags go off twice and didn't notice any impact on my hearing. It was just kind of a loud bang, but not to the point of causing discomfort. Maybe it varies by car and type of accident though.

I think static could have multiple meaning, and the one the original comment meant is ambiguous. There are "static site generators" which technically generate static sites, but could still use JavaScript.

Anecdotally, I don't think I have a license specified in any of my repos. Mostly because I forget, but partially out of laziness.
