the original number isn't totally made up though. I think it's usually the msrp. you almost never find things selling at msrp online or at a big box store, but it's what you would probably pay at a smaller brick and mortar.

even if it works, "50% off" an uber eats order isn't that great of a deal. it only applies to the food. after accounting for the delivery fee, the service fee, the "local regulations fee" (whatever that is), tax, an

if appearances are important, consider ordering a club soda with lime. bartenders will usually understand that it ought to look like a gin and tonic.

just curious, how old are you children? you mentioned having a toddler further up. it makes sense that most social activities are planned by the parents anyway at that age. I remember things starting to change in middle school. kids started

eliminating free parking and parking minimums seems reasonable enough. people who need a car to get to the place where they make money can figure out how to pay for parking. stuff like prioritizing plowing the sidewalk over the road sounds

there's a significant difference between "allow denser construction" and "deliberately ratchet up the pain for drivers each year". a city that's genuinely designed for pedestrians sounds great! having my commut

other than NYC, pretty much all US cities have household car ownership >50%. how are you going to sell your plan to these people?

maybe I'm missing a semantic argument here, but don't computers always convert ~100% of their input power to waste heat? if my cpu consumes 140W, all of that gets dissipated through the heatspreader (perhaps minus a minuscule quan

there's a lot of overlap between safety and correctness.

yes, eve online solved "griefing" by redefining it as "pvp". in all seriousness, I think their solution is pretty good. it's never 100% safe to undock, but it's prohibitively expensive to repeatedly kill a spec

that game leaves a lot to be desired imo. there are a ton of things to do, but each "thing" is a pretty shallow loop. important components/ships are locked behind lengthy grinds, and you need them to be viable in pvp (which i

well I don't really see a way of solving that. I may or may not want to copy the object, depending on the object's lifetime and what I plan to do with it. warning on copies would be a step too far imo. I would immediately suppress

yes? isn't this why racism is defined as "power + prejudice"? anyone can be prejudiced for or against a particular race, but only some people are in a position to do something about it.

I too have fallen victim to this and similar traps. it's a good idea to use a deleted copy constructor when you know it's not safe to copy the object. you can't completely stop others (or yourself) from doing bad things, but

there's very rarely a good reason to use full throttle from a dead stop on public roads. if I want to get in front of someone at a traffic light, about half-open throttle is all I need to do it. if the other driver resists, it's w

not really. if everyone cheats a different way, you just can't compare the numbers. I wish people didn't care so much about this specific performance number anyway. 0-60 time doesn't tell you how fast a car will go around a t

newton's third law says yes, at least to some extent. unless the barrel is perfectly aligned with the platform's center of gravity, it will be deflected (at least a little) before the projectile exits. and it's not trivial to

agreed. I moved out as soon as I could support myself. it wasn't because I hated my parents; they're pretty good as far as parents go. I feel like it's hard to actually be an adult when you live with your parents. as an examp

I kinda agree with you. as I get older, more games feel like repetitive work than fun. I think I finish some games more because I want to feel like I got my money's worth than because I actually enjoyed them. still, some multiplayer ga

part of "elite overproduction" (or even the crux, as I understand it), is giving more degrees than jobs actually exist for those degrees. from this perspective, it doesn't make any sense to spend more tax dollars on even more

I'm really not sure I understand your argument here. the FDA is quite far from some libertarian ideal of minimal regulation. on the contrary, this news story makes a great example of the dangers of regulatory capture when a government
