It’s “a jury of peers” - that line says nothing about judges. And indeed, judges have very little in common with the common person they see in court.

The worst are items that are photoshopped not just into a background, but containers holding things that are the wrong scale. The other day I saw some 1.5oz shot glasses with a drink with 3 or 4 lime slices floating in them. The person ed

Just because they hold the title for security doesn't mean it's not in your name.

Maybe this is a good thing. A lot of stupid patents will all expire by the time they could actually be used.

You don’t get mailed the title, but it’s your name on the title that the state holds (whether on title or electronically). So you don’t have the ability to sell it directly, you still own and are responsible for it.

> The title stays with the lender until all the payments are made per the loan agreement. This varies a lot by state. A lot (most?) states the title absolutely goes to the purchaser but it has a lien attached that gives the lender rights

This is how I operate with normal socks - I never buy a single pack of socks - I just do a "line change" and replace them all when the old rotation is too far gone to meet my needs. I have a few specialty items for exercise or dir

> While offices had fast and reliable internet connections, most offices I’ve been around have internet that tops out no more than a little faster than a decent home connection, but have dozens of people sharing them.

Sure. But a lot of times it’s not. As a counter point, I have a relative with cerebral palsy that has a shockingly normal life for as disabled as she seems to me. In a lot of ways it’s terrifying to see her getting around but she lives a v

Bad weather for planes often makes road travel a lot slower than normal too.

What do you think people with seizures do with their free time - hang out in a padded room all day? There's plenty of office jobs where the risk of having a seizure at work are no different than the risks of having a seizure surfing on

It's not all because of fraud. There's also a lot of crossover between the people defining the programs and the people administering the programs. So programs get rules written in a way that the software from the firm they are cl

I'm not surrendering "part of my terrace" to wasps - I'm talking about the rest of my family being unwilling to open the back door because there are always wasps flying near it. I'm not willing to surrender my back

So when they built a nest near my back door, I'm just supposed to surrender my back patio so them so I can stay out of their flight paths?

Nobody gets into woodworking to save money on furniture. They do it because it’s a hobby they enjoy.

A moral high horse is great, but if you're stuck in the cycle where you learn destructive habits from your parents that are hard to overcome in adulthood, how do you break that cycle with out a nudge from society and policy makers?

Right - I totally understand that we have a long ways to go. But at the same time, I think there's probably a lot more chargers running around already than most non-EV owners suspect. Do we have enough EV chargers for everyone today?

I was really surprised on my vacation last summer how often I saw EV chargers at hotels in rural locations. Especially in central and western Kansas.

That's not a huge deal either, really. In time, more and more parking spots will have charging ports. The fact that they aren't all used all the time will actually make it easier to manage the grid loads. Imagine you park your c

The point isn't to add new parking spots for EV charging - it's to making charging available at places you normally park anyway. A trip to the grocery store takes 30-45 minutes. If even 20% of the existing spots had a charger (ev

You can connect to separate energy providers - such that if one provider or their transmission infrastructure goes down, you're still connected to and online with the other provider.

It’s nuts. I’ve had mcmaster packages come from far enough away overnight that there were hardly enough minutes for UPS to drive it this far. But definitely not flown judging by the terminals it went through.

Depending on the nature of the business, it’s not uncommon to have negotiated rates for 2nd day shipping that are really good, and essentially retail counter rates for ground. Sometimes that makes 2nd day service cheaper than ground for a
