So as long as innovation is outgrowing stagnation then returns should continue to outpace typical zero risk interest. In essence if you believe the stock market will fail to exhibit growth you’re betting against technological progress and p

I could be mistaken but using the S&P500 index might be slightly problematic in that the companies that compose this index change all the time. This almost guarantees that the index increases in value over time as high performers are ad

People need to be ruled to maintain order. The alternative is chaos which leads to suffering until order is restored. The colonists ruled competently and maintained order even if your social justice reflex doesn’t feel good about it. What t

Possibly but humans basically hunted Mammoths into extinction and they consumed them to the last bite. They must have been delicious compared to elephants. Just like different breeds of cow or pigs, etc, have vastly different marbling, flav

They’ve had endless civil war essentially for 70 years. Maybe “Sudan” isn’t a real place and the people inhabiting those lands need to sort it out and figure out who rules what. The UN should stop recognizing Sudan as a state as it’s obviou

Perhaps they can, but there’s 0 evidence for it. Regardless my point was that they have had tremendous suffering since being decolonized. Endless conflict with external meddling from all over. I suspect that had they been under colonial rul

If anything I’d blame the lack of colonialism as being the root cause of their problems.

These people never seem to learn that when the table turns, and it will, that they won’t like it anymore. They lived when the censor suited them but cry foul when it’s in opposition. It’s important to curate a culture and agreed set of norm

It’s hilarious when they ask for tips but yet I’m expected to get my order when they call out my name as well as expected to clean/bus my own table and serve myself water from a communal water vessel.

Key-based partitioning has existed since card catalogs at libraries and I’m sure there’s examples from before then.

You’re not serious, are you? The USA consumer subsidizes everyone else in many cases. Similarly to how the USA taxpayer subsidizes the protection of trade, supply lines, and logistics through her mighty military. Just compare the small and

It’s amazing, isn’t it? These same people complain how everything is broken and that the solution is to double down on it. It’s such a sad state of affairs that the corruption is actively supported by people and they want to feed it more an

The octane shouldn’t matter. It was probably really old and broke down. The main advantage of the canned gasoline is that there’s no ethanol which is really bad for small engines. It attracts moisture and doesn’t burn evenly which is why ca

Easiest way is to just let the machine run until it’s out of fuel. I put a vice grips on the throttle.

It's noticeably better. The engine timing is so good with it compared to the gas station stuff meant for fuel injected automobile engines. Higher octane and compression I believe and the snowblower engine just hums and burns clean.

Snowblowers are 4 stroke engines today, I'm not even sure anyone makes a 2-stroke machine. And they certainly aren't obsolete. An electric one is fine if you have a bit of light powder but no good if you're moving a lot of de

You can always stabilize your fuel too and it will last into the next season. However, depending on your climate it may be worth it to just buy cans of fuel at the hardware store. It's much higher quality than what you'll get at a

I don’t understand your point. Every town in existence was “out in the country” at one point. The land owners/community made the choice to subdivide and develop the land. But it was their decision as a community to do this. My town was

Never said anything about not wanting to build something but rather the community determines the terms. This is how it goes and will in any non-tyrannical society. The stakeholders are the key constituents when it comes to decision making.

It’s common advice regarding the golf swing. Keeping everything connected with an even tempo creates a fluidity that can be converted to “effortless” power. It’s how to be consistent swing after swing.
