On your first point, that's the norm in my driving (most of both US coasts.) I've sometimes wondered what the saturation level is where the left lane should just be another lane to increase steady state flow rate. I guess it'

That's the one I had in mind, too.

It's possible that I was just out of the loop because I didn't get an iPod until about 2003, but I remember having to convince myself to get an iPod despite other companies reportedly having much higher audio quality in their mp3

Just had this problem last week with the sweet home. I ended up being from a sporting goods store instead of Amazon, but I pretty much knew there was going to be some rust from the long storage time of the discontinued product. It turned ou

I have no doubt we'll see the end of the global internet in the next couple decades, but it's going to take quite a few more of these before we get there.

I live a few miles away from the Charleston SC airport/AFB now, and it's amazing the variety of planes I see. Even getting back from a 12 hour work day, I'll stop and watch for unfamiliar engine sounds every time. On another

Or find a way to colonize new planets. Your solution sounds more far-fetched to me, as sad as that is.

I very much disagree. A one-star 'review' is seldom a review. Complaints, which is the better classification for these posts, are better when included in a 2-star review that offers some context and demonstration that the reviewer

Fixing FHA loans and ending the growth Ponzi scheme that is municipal infrastructure spending would be two huge things that could reduce US contributions to the problem.

Between surveillance states, cyber attacks, and probable rising energy costs, it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of things general became much less global. If you want to hear one of the greatest pessimists of our age, I recommend James

Where's your study proving the opposite? Or is your proposal to do absolutely nothing without a study first telling you to? G&T programs try to utilize the diversity of students, rather than just ignoring it or trying to will it aw

Isn't that one of the options for the people who paid for ITT? Full refund only if they repossess your credits.

My recommendation is the same as sparky_z. At a lower price point (~70 for sheets and pillowcases) I had some ELS (but not Pima) that were cool and pretty comfortable; soft, not in a way that strikes you immediately, but in a way that you r

I strongly disagree with the author's assertion that buyers should just feel the difference. That's fine as long as you don't care about breathable sheets, but from talking to people I'd say that soft doesn't come i

I've been listening to Econtalk for five or so years. My favorite guest was Chuck Marohn of Strong Towns on urban development and the future of American cities. He makes the case against car-dependency and sprawl from the point of view

The host of one of my favorite podcasts once asked Milton Friedman (huge free market guy, in case someone doesn't know) what he thought of NAFTA, and Friedman said he didn't like it. Friedman said that a real free trade agreement

I'm guessing your way is most applicable when working a relatively low number of hours, like 35-40 weekly. Once you start pushing into 80-100 hours at work each week, being friendly starts to make more sense, if only to avoid going cra

If you're used to 800, 500 is a pretty huge drop. My intake to maintain weight is about 2600kcal/day as a lightly-moderately active person. I normally do a breakfast of about 400-500 calories, and then 900-1000 for lunch and dinne

Going most of the day without eating is hardly "very unpleasant", and a lot of people are happy to play with moderate subtractive means to possibly improve their health or sense or well being. It's a lot more appealing than p

I believe parent's point was that GDP is significantly decoupled from experience of the vitality in a 'main street'perspective. In China they get high GDP growth rates, but if the productive activity was building high rises w

Could it be that someone realized it's too easy to game that system? For Amazon this is wonderful because it encourages people to vote. For Wells Fargo, maybe Prime membership is a useful indicator of a lower risk borrower, but it&#x27

As an extension of that thought, just for fun, the lights on boats follow the pattern for bikes of being seen, not improving your ability to see. If you go out onto a lake in a remote place without a good flashlight, this fact quickly becom

I'm not arguing that we should use submarine style cables for base stations, but so you know what's possible: those cables (about 1 inch diameter) routinely do terabits per second.

I just hope that the "English speakers" on planes are better than the ones nominally fulfilling the same requirement on merchant vessels.

The pedantry you're referring to is also sometimes called "rule of law", and it's more beneficial than the expediency of witch trials. I avoid taxes as much as possible, though I admittedly lack the team of lawyers, and

It seems that Amazon, for example, has already seen the huge problem that causes, and has been working to reduce that problem. At the other end of the spectrum, you'd be assigning the FTC to be like the small subset of redditors who fe

I was part of a government group that regularly accepted airfare, lodging, and meals. There was demand for us, but we didn't have the funding to travel on our own. One time this created a funny situation where a pro sports team flew us
