This is the same argument as "don't complain, someone has it worse" and it's a flawed one.

Having any serious issues with a few years old car is a problem. Id consider that a lemon. If you've had that experience multiple times from the same manufacturer...

Right? It's remarkable seeing people here defending Tesla while saying "I've only had a few major issues in four years" I've had a Hyundai for ten years and literally crashed it into a tree and it had no major issue

It can make logical sense, in game theory. For example, you can have two situations: A) thing A is the most beneficial thing for person A to do B) thing A benefits person B way more than person A These are not mutually exclusive. I'm n

I agree with you, for the most part. It's not a simple answer as you seem to be hinting but I agree with your principals. How I phrased it emphasized that the US benefits the most from this scenario, so please don't twist my words

It's funny in a way: because the US spends so much on its military, its allies do not have to. This of course is an enormous benefit to the US: but it's a great way for allies of the US to prosper under the might of the US militar

> It makes this the worst and most dangerous job possible Then why do it? You know the answer to this, just like I do.

We can't choose how other people behave. We can choose how we react to their behavior.

It's good to be humbled.

When you're a public figure, you hopefully do not have those issues. Any isolation or ignorance is a choice you're making. The author is very obviously not talking about people who are in a cult, or even the average person on Face

> Thinking that people you perceive as "privileged" can't comprehend you is a choice too and a form of ignorance. You've kinda proven their point with this statement, no?

> I think you do see diminishing returns going above $1000 for burr grinders. This is absolutely correct: the best "value" is a $200-300 hand grinder. Anything more than that you're adding quality of life (mostly), and som

This isn't true in the high-end coffee community. No one uses ceramic burrs, and they are generally considered to produce worse coffee than other burrs.

That's fine for a dark roast, but a lighter roast will sometimes need 2-3 weeks. Or more!

by roflyear 3y ago
It depends a lot on the grinder. On some of my grinders this is true, on others its "bad to awful" from the light to dark roast categories. Also remember, one man's "light roast" is another's dark roast. I cons

I don't think there is one right answer - for a normal morning brew (15-20g of beans) 2 spritz out of one of those small spray bottles should be in range. Two spritz, then shake the beans up (like in a cup), and grind as normal. You ma

He says "just a spritz" and it is true that just one spritz does help, but in the paper there was quite a bit of water applied - probably more like 3-4 spritz of water.

I definitely have a client who would fire us if I said anything remotely against Israel.

There has to be some middle here, where you're not pro-killing Jews, but you're against Zionism. If that middle isn't anti-zionism, what is the middle position?

by roflyear 3y ago
I always was under the impression that Anti-Zionism was just being against Zionism.

If the world did work that way it would be nice, lol. I imagine such a proposal in the US would be met with "we're trying to destroy the EV industry!!!!"

Depends on the situation. I don't think the race to the top here is a good idea. You definitely do not want tanks on the highway. That would be insane.

It's interesting, because these heavy vehicles are really bad for the roads.
177.
by roflyear 3y ago
That doesn't support your argument whatsoever. Generally the safest cars are the cars that break quickly. They absorb energy through breaking.

by roflyear 3y ago
And you'll pay a lot more in taxes to maintain the roads: "an increase in axle weight from 18,000 pounds to 20,000 pounds causes 50 percent more damage to the pavement." See: https://highways.dot.gov/public-ro

Cars look the same in part because of safety regulations make those designs more attractive to manufacturers.

Of course this isn't true.
