Magsafe charger on a Ram mount has been a huge win for me in the car. It charges, and it's got a predictable place instead of wherever i drop it.

Sure, you can. But 20A circuits outside of kitchens and bathrooms are exceedingly rare in north america. Heck - even on a 20A kitchen circuit, I don't know that I've ever seen one with a 20A receptacle - they always have standar

> PC power supplies can be in the 2200W range already. What's wrong with that? For starters - a typical 15amp outlet is only supposed to have a 1,440W continuous load, 1,800W peak.

Not cancel all their orders and end up at the end of the line for chips.

I’ve thought about doing something like this, only using foot pedals to put it into “shorthand mode”. Having the pedal as a modifier would eliminate the need to worry about text collisions between your shorthand and normal typing.

I'm actually taking issue with that assertion - mid-sized builders absolutely don't have that kind of time put into the designs of their house. They build one and iterate on the problems - it's not so different from software

You're missing my point - it's that less people have access to the type of "use an architect and build a custom home" experience you're talking about. I was shocked when I was looking to have a new home built a few

Even if you're having a new house built, you get a lot less choices than you might think. To most builders, "custom home" means you get to pick the paint and flooring, not that you have appreciable input into anything struct

Maybe this varies regionally? I'm around Kansas City. The biggest builders here will be in multiple subdivisions at once, with varying topography, and they may or may not have been the ones to plat out the lots. They will absolutely s

This gets said a lot - but in practice, very little housing is built that way. The mega builders that build big developments certainly don't match up house plans with the way lots are oriented, and that's where most houses are bui

Is it that simple, though? Taking someone who's already crime-prone then sending them off to graduate school for criminals rarely leaves society with a better person when they get out. I'm not saying, at all, that we should let t

If they have that much disregard for the law, do you think losing their license will keep them off the road? Doubtful.

Almost all voucher proponents want them for religious schools - your observation is a feature for them, not a bug.

100% this. I even went to catholic school 7-12th grade. It was in no way a superior product like they want you to believe anyway. It was obvious in college that I had inferior math and science education, and I was considered a high perform

My point was that most vehicles include this feature, even those you’d least expect it on.

This is demonstrably false. Even new Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators come with auto start/stop, and those are about as far removed from hybrids as it gets.

You must live on the coast. There's plenty of us in the midwestern US that could never make it to a coast before the boats were all gone.

NPD is largely defined by the inability to experience empathy. They don’t know they are assholes, or worse, feed of a high they get when people think they are assholes when they think they are right.

GP you originally replied to. He’s not saying the debt doesn’t go up regardless of who is the presidency, but that republicans only make it into an exercise in brinksmanship when a democrat has the Oval Office.

Exactly this - over-regulation keeps people from using the safety mechanisms at all. My other favorite example is gun background checks. If I want to sell a gun to a guy in my neighborhood that I don't really know, there's no pra

I think Chicago and maybe all of Cook County Illinois are a notable exception to that, and with goofy, overbearing codes to top it off.

The trouble there is that you're probably out of your prime dating years by the time you're your own boss and really making big money in the trades. It takes time to establish and build that business, the early years can be prett

The hell of it is that when you DO finally find tradespeople you can trust, you hate to tell your friends about them for fear they get too busy to fit you in when you need them again!
