Does accidental damage count? https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/18/americas/mexico-gasoline-expl... Edit: only the ignition was accidental, the puncturing was intentional

That's technically tax evasion, not avoidance. The former is illegal.

Just because you wouldn't want to live in an SRO doesn't necessarily mean others wouldn't. I don't think she is suggesting building Hong-Kong style cage beds, but it sounds like something more like a college dormitory. I

Regenerative braking is very straightforward, making hills a great place to use electric. A nice additional benefit of regenerative braking is stop-and-go driving, like buses do, is hell on brakes and efficiency. Regen allows improved effic

I believe it was an idea that had some popularity in the 60's and 70's where they tried to start math education by teaching students foundational concepts like sets rather than starting them with calculational methods (i.e. arithm

Cooking quickly becomes a bad time/value proposition when you're cooking for one, so that's part of the equation. And some of us value the enjoyment of many good meals over say, having a newer car. I planned to include daily

No mention here of the fact that European governments went much harder on austerity policies than the US after the financial crisis? I seem to recall reading for years that European countries were lagging in recovery rate due to policies of

It's hard to get a man to understand something if his accustomed lifestyle depends on his not understanding it (to paraphrase Upton Sinclair). It's harder to justify eating meat and supporting factory farming if you believe animal

The supreme court says corporations are people and have the rights of people (e.g. free speech). If they're people then they are subject to the criminal codes that people are subject to. I don't know how you carry out such punishm

You're assuming perfect information in the market. The GP's point is that if there's trickery involved then that assumption doesn't hold. It's not hard to make a hefty profit in excess of risk pricing if you're

Historically[0] that was a profit center for contract lenders which people living in redlined neighborhoods (i.e. mostly black Americans) had to resort to if they wanted to buy a house before the reforms of the 1960's. These people wou

It's because GM can't produce Bolts without a significant loss (for now) and Leafs aren't taken very seriously by most people because of their shorter range, fast battery/value degradation and frankly, funky appearance.

While it seems like a bad idea to cut down a forest to replace it with a solar farm, that's not virgin forest. As cited by the article, the land has been timbered before. There is almost no virgin forest left in the eastern US at this

One of the problems with this is that my workflow these days involves fairly frequently using the authenticator apps on my phone for 2fa to log into sites. While the phone is the worst culprit on distraction, I still can't just turn it

You don't want to rely on it for means because the high incomes are capped at a relatively low level so that they don't out high-earners in sparse areas. But that shouldn't affect medians.

Gboard is terrible. I have to correct one in two words. It's ok for long words but I mostly use short words, and it usually gets those wrong.

I've had the same exact problem with Levis, I don't buy them anymore for that reason.

You're completely ignoring historical context and engaging in whataboutism as well.

Off topic: I love the Jiffy Mix except last I checked it has trans fats in it. I wish they would remove that.

I would think a good LED would need something like a full wave rectifier with a good smoothing circuit to minimize flicker. I bet a lot of the bulbs on the market cheap out on the electronics though.

Perhaps dimmable LED bulbs would be better in that regard? The LED dimmers on the market use a very high rate PWM (afaik) to prevent/minimize flickering at low brightness. I would guess that the dimmable bulbs are designed to work well

If you really think that's true I'd invite you to count the number of politicians (in the US at least) who are self-declared athiests. I think the data speaks for itself.

Let's go further with this. It's reasonable to assume that a UBI's cost would have to be offset by increased taxes, this would have to be progressive or the UBI would be pointless. So there would be a cutoff somewhere on the

Apparently that's the high end, the low end being "process American product slices". Not even allowed to use the word "cheese" in a name.

I would argue that everyone is privileged enough to make that choice. Who are these people whose only choice is FB or starve? Surely in this field anyone who can get hired there can get hired elsewhere.

Assuming the results of that study hold up, it seems like a legitimate concern, although at those CO2 levels I dare say there would be bigger problems.

I don't see why this is downvoted, parent brings up a good point. If a phone has a fingerprint or face lock, there is proof whose fingerprint or face (or whether it is a fingerprint or face) is the key. Is that knowledge not similar to
