The US constitution (amendment 6) ostensibly provides the right to a speedy trial. Amendment 8 forbids "cruel and unusual" punishment. What I don't understand is how people can be against the death penalty but yet be totally

I’m right here with you. Just built a Win10 machine because of thermal issues. I don’t even mind having a laptop but is it too much to ask to pay iMac prices for mid grade hardware??

This was one of the things that really drove me to get a Drobo back in the day. I liked the idea that I could effectively just throw hard drives in it and it would run. And run it did. Slowly, but it worked!

Somewhat. There are (were?) some companies trying to break into a personal cloud (WD MyCloud) and I think companies like Buffalo and Synology are making it a lot easier to spend $500-600 and be able to reasonably protect your data from pret

One thing that worked for me is “how can I be more valueable?” Worked for a company for a year and loved it but was in a bit of a rut. After talking to my superior I ended up taking on an additional role but making more.

The local Taco Bell chain here has a similar program. They are run by a single franchising company which seems to own all of the ones in the areas. So in their case it’s not a TB thing but something for them. Could be wrong, though.

To me, part of the problem is that nobody can simply "live" anymore. While there are homesteaders who can effectively "live off the land", people can no longer actually do that. Instead of UBI, why not create a system wh

It amazes me that so many people do this stuff and think so little about the consequences. Personally, I'm glad my wife and I were in the generation before this became a thing.

This is absolutely a different story. This is the government not allowing you to travel around a country because they don’t like you. This person can still get a job somewhere else. He can still go visit his family wherever they are. The go
