Inflation is a worldwide thing, along with increased prices for oil and gas. But it doesn't seem like anybody is blaming Brexit much there?

Harrison Ford keep saying this is the last one with Indiana Jones. It seems like he must have been careful to avoid signing over the rights to have a virtual Harrison Ford. At the very least he would be against it. I guess he's deep. F

Looks like there is no reason for them to exist because of the large negative net worth of the low interest rate loans. They could only survive if their other assets are worth a huge amount to offset that.

Is there anything to say other than self-identified generalists think they are the best, specialists also think they are better too, everyone else doesn't care.

There's a complete moral panic of those who worry that if we tolerate or are comfortable with the idea that there are people who question their gender identity, or are gay, or trans or many other things it will be the end of the world.

In the US, there's not a right to privacy, or at best it's complicated. At least federalists or conservatives endlessly argue that doesn't exist, for reasons that I don't understand. If we had a right to privacy in the U

I've never seen the name before, but "Soaring Twenties" is a great little label for our times. Besides the play on the original twenties, it has that connection to the universal description of today, that it's the best o

He's getting his base excited because he's such a reliable putz, seeing the extreme danger from the existence of trans people. Getting votes is how they claim to serve people. I was just referring to the fact that those kinds of p

Thanks for posting. My TLDR is the us infiltrated the gang. They're tracing their actions around the world, Mexico doesn't want to cooperate with this necessarily and it's a huge problem 5 just because we see what's happ

This is basically swatting. Everyone could live in the center of some random group. And almost every day there's a new example of the police going to the wrong address and killing someone. We shouldn't have to defend ourselves fro

Some of those concerns apply to any database. Your query could slowdown if the database picks a bad plan, so you could say you will never trust the db to scale. That's separate from scaling the stored proc - just using the db can run i

No sideloading also means you have to give that high percentage of revenue to apple. You can't avoid that. It's the clear monopolistic behavior that should be legally blocked.

I had an old fiat car where it had some unknown electrical problem that would run the some fuel pump thing all the time, even without key. So the solution my grandfather figured out what a kill switch under the dashboard for the fuel pump.

Murkowski is a non-maga republican. If she was out you'd get a maga supporter in all likelihood.

They are serving lots of constituents. There's no absolute block across all the people in a state. People have different ideas. I hate all these "spy on you and disable encryption". But it's not like there's a unifo

The problem is last time her opponent wasn't reputable enough to be a good counterweight. I wish Katy Porter had run and replaced her. I think she was barely in politics then.

There's this idea that someone shouldn't run against an incumbent. It goes against both parties. The boomer generation was a large group, they often see the world in a more common way (that world of the 50s and early 60s?), they s

This is why we need more tech people to get into politics. And I'm not thinking billionaire ceos. I'm talking about devs, qa, pm, people that did actual work.

so what did you do after the 3 day delay? I ended up not going all the way there from the west coast. I need a one week delay, then I could torture myself with considering it.

You added a note to try to cover yourself but no, slavery is not comparable, not the same as migratory workers. Migratory workers have it very hard & it's to the shame of America how we treat those vulnerable people at our borders.

Those are fair requests, thanks for point that out. For the leaf, it's just true that they designed a very poor system for battery reliability in retrospect. All modern EV cars have a battery heating and cooling system that protects th
