What's stupid about using a soft approach, instead of a violent approach, to take away a driver's license from a drunk driver? Why do police so frequently resort to violence that you're probably not surprised to hear bystande

I wouldn't use "script" to describe FreeCAD. Regardless, this problem is much more with FreeCAD than with Python. > I have to add _pycache_ to all the .gitignore I just add that, once, in my global gitignore.

Anyone can land upon a good strategy -- especially because these strategies get honed by evolutionary processes. For them, this is a good strategy. Enough people, especially their supporters, have been trained to not be suspicious when th

Regarding out-of-home access, I'll drop a note about connecting your phone to your home network with a VPN. Now you're always connecting the same way for this and everything else. It's not perfect because wifi networks might

Do you believe I disagree with everything you said earlier? I don't. Take me at my word, that I wanted to discuss how advertising is not " any form of letting people know you or your services or goods exist". I have been m

> Advertising is any form of letting people know you or your services or goods exist. If you’re only talking about a subset of that, we should discuss how you’re defining advertising. Sure, let's discuss. I cannot agree. Even if

It may sound that way to you, but it doesn't have that problem for me.

You missed the point. That's okay.

It's curious that you use expired to mean "payments were rejected before the expiration was reached".

FWIW, I've been able to cancel my NYT subscription with only a web form since I first subscribed in 2020. It works, and I use it every year. Some years there were several weeks before I got the discounted price again. I wonder how ma

Are you thinking of a specific model? What model? All models I personally experienced came with ink cartridges containing less ink than replacement cartridges. I participated in a ton of ink cartridge refilling during 1998-2007. For most

Thank you for sharing your experience. I cannot see how to justify H-1B as a benefit the employer provides for the worker, because it just sounds exploitive, like the comment above. I can see justification only as a benefit to the employer
