I agree that 新字体 is preferable to 简体字 for exactly the etymological reason you cite, the thing with 言 only being simplified when it is a radical in 簡體字 really irritates me (especially since it is not a difficult or slow radical to write anyh

I think that there are fewer parts in a common home firearm (an AR-15, even bolt bolt action firearms) that this applies to, since the most complicated parts are in the bolt carrier group, where mass and density are generally desirable as f

At least on the hardware that I've had, it's basically rock-solid in practice. I use it with high-refresh-rate monitors, I've tried FreeSync and that works, it works with all my displays, and recently the older of my GPUs (Ra

I tend to wash the cookware while I'm cooking, and wash my dishes when I'm done, rather than letting them pile up. It takes a handful of seconds each time, and they're often seconds I can't spend anywhere else to begin w

Semi-related: anyone here, like me, not find automated dishwashers very useful? To me it seems to take nearly the same amount of soap exposure, and time at the sink, to wash dishes by hand. Maybe if I needed gloves, I'd get frustrated

> You can do all of that on a recent iPhone. Not sure what you mean exactly, I'm talking about the service, not the basic existence of dual-SIM functionality (something I already have).

If I could do dual-SIM on one account for 99 bucks and get both AT&T and T-Mobile backends, that would be killer. The only thing more killer than that would be swapping one of them for Verizon.

I've found a mix with background checks in the U.S; a lot of rental landlords want background checks for the obvious reasons (e.g. housing a convicted rapist with a young woman), employers can go either way, and in my experience it has
