Honest question: why even use leather in the first place? It's generally uncomfortable, and honestly feels inferior as a material to use for your car interior. Or am I missing something?

I'd say we want different things from the service staff we interact with. Every time I've interacted with american service staff, the interactions have mostly just been bothersome. I'm never left alone, and there's a ver

I'm specifically only thinking about the case where you run an AC while not at home. By all means, run your AC if you are at home and need to manage the temperature.

That would indeed be a huge downside - the point of a specifiation would be to have interoperability be entirely seamless. If SOAP failed on that account, then it deserves its fate.
432.
by occz 5y ago
Was there a lot of competing standards in SOAP, leading to incompatibility between libraries? That would indeed seem to defeat the point, if true.

What are your gripes with SOAP? Genuinely interested. I've used it once professionally, and while there was an initial learning curve, it seemed to have some nice properties once you got past that.

I'm not saying you should do it because of the fact that the rest of the world does it - this is merely evidence of its feasability. You should do it because the alternative is downright dumb. That is to say, what you are doing right n

I like that! I've done approved with suggestions for a long time, it strikes a good balance I think - and I've long been an advocate of fast reviews as a priority.

I've never been to NYC, but I've heard that waste management infrastructure is not great there. Could that be contributing to bad smells?
444.
by occz 5y ago
Stockholm isn't particularly windy. I think cars generally contribute to bad smells, and poor waste management infrastructure can also contribute to bad smells (think garbage bins out on streets instead of enclosed, for example)

This might depend on which city you refer to. For example, I wouldn't say that Stockholm has any discernable smell to it.
