The area of just the contiguous US is almost 200 times as big as Switzerland. Where did the 85 come from? Did you divide square miles by square kilometers?

The only thing worse than a long-winded explanation that finally gets around to the topic you're interested in (in his case an explanation of SOLID) is a long-winded explanation that never gets around to it (in my case a refutation of

I'm not caring so much about the Cedrus genus, as the dilution of the word through unimaginative overuse and over-application. But to the extent that it still means anything at all, I would say it means an aromatic evergreen, since tho

"Its retirement signals an end to an era of American culture—and ambition." What'd, fuckin' Putin ghost-write this? The nostalgia is fine, but calling it "...perhaps the pinnacle of American engineering excellenc

Glad I'm able to amaze you. I can't speak for other cheapskates, but I personally think it's more that YouTube is still so utterly inessential that if ads ever start managing to get past my ad blockers, I'll simply not w

Meta and Zuckerberg are pushing it, for one. https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1rshc1f/i_traced_2_b... I just got the email today, two weeks later.

A lot of talk about the "why," absolutely nothing about the "how." The "how" is where the problem is.

How many words before you realized it was a piece of shit though? For me it was "Because I am a Sci-Fi nerd." Yet I kept reading, because I am a fucking fool, and now I'm pissed that I spent time on it.

I honestly could not follow any discernible point or thrust to this incoherent, disorganized, self-indulgent piece-of-shit post. He didn't even successfully establish or explain the titular Onlyfans analogy. I know more about his fucki

Anyone care to explain to me why any of them even considered it? What's the specific upside from the perspective of an index provider? Seems to me like all it does when you bend the rules is erode trust, so whatever the upside is, it

The key there is "whole market." This is still a tiny sliver of the whole market and most people's exposure to it is minimal. Still a wealth extraction move ultimately, but like many other such moves, the few pull just a litt

You're being more literal than I was. My point was that "a debt" is a broader concept than the GP comment acknowledges. A debt is incurred any time you propose or agree to buy something. And legal tender is the way you settle

The question wasn't which "team" (grow up!) is "dominant," it was whether the election result proves anything about the American public. It does if you think it was an honest and fair election. Simple as that.

Thanks - Seeing how easy this was, encouraged me to do the same for my Subaru. The info and parts were easy enough to find. Interestingly, Subaru itself used to make a DCM bypass kit for its cars. When AT&T shut down its 3G network, Sub
