The risk of psychedelic drugs is more comparable to motorsports, the more involved action sports, heavy equipment operation, etc. and your average person would be very wary of participating in these even though there are plenty of risk miti

Things can just go bad, no matter how hard you try. There is always some level of risk involved, especially if you have a family or personal history of mental illness, in which case it's advisable to not fuck with it at all. "Set

Not every car that isn't black/white/gray is garish, and at least in the US, most people have unbelievably bad taste when it comes to vehicles.

Our thing in high school was Sauerbraten one-shot-one-kill. The teacher didn't care as long as all the assignments got done. I would throw up an FTP server, everybody would download the client, and then we'd pass around the curren

There's a lot of talk about apprentice pay being too low and the process taking too long. What a lot of people seem to be missing is that being an apprentice is a young man's game, that journeyman wages being bad or good is highly

By doing everything you can to not get in a head-on. Ditch it, land it in a yard, etc. Just about the only thing I wouldn't do is dump it in a flooded ag ditch, but that's a situation most people don't find themselves in. If

Rollovers are also extremely bad, and vehicles like the Tahoe have a ~25% rollover risk as assessed by the NHTSA. It's simple physics! More than anything, you need to just not be in the accident in the first place. Buying a vehicle

The American car market is flooded with shitty crossovers because people don't have the balls to just rock the minivan when they hit that point in their life. The entire SUV segment up until you reach 9-seaters doesn't have a grea

You're at a safety advantage in a smaller vehicle more often than not. If you're in an accident going fast enough for the size of your vehicle to matter, you stand a very high chance of getting severely fucked up no matter what yo

One of the primary uses for computer technology today is displaying ads at any cost to society. This isn't what those who worked in the field in the early days envisioned. You can't blame them for being mad about it. I wasn't

Most people that aren't listening past top 40 hits barely remember Kraftwerk, if they even know who they are at all. Of the people reading this that actually care, they already know how influential Germany and the Midwest US were at th

This article is very strange. It's written under the pretense that these musicians aren't recognized for their contributions to the music that came after the German origins of techno when they absolutely are; you would struggle to

That engine is 4x heavier and supercharged. You're not comparing apples to apples.

That's why there's all sorts of widely produced performance vehicles with multiple independent engines!

You can't just make the Traxxas 18x bigger and get linear performance improvement. Trying to compare power/weight between engines with radically different weight constraints is silly.

Version control and diffing (programmatically or mentally) is a major stumbling block. The only graphical language I know of that doesn't suffer from this issue is PLC ladder logic, where the visual representation is forced and it&#x27

If you think an ORM somehow saves you from having to know how to make a normalized DB schema (even by intuitive means instead of formal ones), you've lost your mind. For most 9-5 developers just earning their paycheck, this train of th

You don't have to solely run FLOSS software. There's a lot of middle ground between between walking into the TikTok/Meta/Alphabet brain grinder for convenience's sake and Stallman-level fanaticism.

I'm cracking up at the thought of an airline telling their pilots "fuck it, run em however hard you think you need to." There's a difference between dumping toxic waste into a river to save money and keeping a plane engi

Very on-brand considering the project. I'd like to believe SQLite is under some sort of divine protection. I'd imagine the team are all on the same page.

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world that German engineering is something they want. In automobiles, industrial equipment, electronics, software, etc. you can sense when Germans were involved. I've accepted

You have that wrong; bankruptcy is the ideal scenario for somebody with a short position. The brokerage writes it off. The shares are worthless, so why go after somebody for owing you $0?

Yeah, it's pretty wild watching people wonder why a top political donator is getting so much peel for somebody who is either a crook or dangerously stupid. There's a lot of people who like to imagine that media and journalism is a

Nobody is going to post 150% collateral on a capital expenditure where the delivery can take months/years. Cryptocurrency is finance as imagined by people who have never bought anything more expensive than a car or house.

With very few exceptions, anybody in a life threatening (or what they perceive to be a life threatening) situation is going to pick themselves over a person that they don't know and believe is trying to kill them. It is exceedingly har

For those who have an issue with this, I have to ask; have you actually thought this through at all? Would it really be preferable to make an officer literally risk their life trying to make the right decision? The will to survive in a situ

I've done a decent amount of non-trivial stuff using .NET Core MVC (not Razor Pages, which is apparently less "magic" to the uninitiated but I can't actually speak to how it feels to use), with plain JS and CSS. That env

The market segment I work in (tangible goods, not software) is highly subject to discretionary spend by consumers. The slowdown is already on the radar and everybody in the game is readying up for things to slow down a lot more. All busines
