Consumers don't always make decisions in their own best interest. They are also often under informed. Their buying habits can often follow less than rational psychology. Businesses know these things and devote a great deal of resources

A great example of why people don't trust journalists anymore. They don't even perform a basic amount of fact checking before publishing.

You know how you get an 800+ credit rating? Put all of your normal expenses on your credit card and pay it off monthly. You only accrue interest on a card if you have a balance on it that carries over. If you pay it off every month you don&

Maybe I'm misremembering but did they not already get the defense attorney out of jail?

Yes and its a big story in the news and everyone knows about it. The Judge is clearly corrupt and the state supreme court have already weighed in. It's pretty clearly an extraordinary situation.

I'm sorry but this is a ridiculous and unrealistic stance. People die in wars. That's just a fact of life. I have sympathy for uninvolved civilians who don't want to be there. But war reporters know the risks and willingly en

This isn't binary. They are both evil. Neither group is your friend nor do they have your best interests at heart.

Definitely whataboutism, but the crew were investigated before the leak and it was found that the reporters were with armed fighters and were not distinguishable as civilian reporters. While its unfortunate, walking around in an active warz

It's complicated. Dual use infrastructure can become valid military targets. It's also easier to make claim military justification for a limited strike meant to aide a specific operation. But repeated strikes broadly on civilian i

It both was and wasn't back then. The large pop culture establishment was definitely more shared, TV, film and music for sure. But at the same time you also had more thriving regional culture. There were many musicians who became popul

Any business with an IT department should be drowning in them. Monitors still ship with VGA cables even though they are rarely used. So if you know anyone in a smaller IT dept that doesn't have really draconian rules over assets they w

I'm not sure which higher education subsidies you are talking about. I know the military's GI Bill benefits are worse than they used to be.

Excellent point. I work in IT and for years there weren't IT specific degrees from state universities. My degree is completely unrelated and it never was really a factor in hiring because a BS in IT wasn't a thing. Until the last

Do you know what capitalism is? Do you understand how market economies work? Or is it just a boogeyman phrase you use because articulating complex economic inequalities is hard?

The reason college costs have gone up is because the government decided to make it so anyone could get college loans and they couldn't discharge them through bankruptcy. Then the public education system told everyone that if you don&#x

The only way you fix this is hold executives criminally liable. Fines don't work and never have. If people started going to jail over it then they would change their behavior. Everything in life is about incentive structures.

Most of those examples aren't the cars being outdated really. They were intentional decisions to either cut costs or two stubbornly do it their own way. A tech refresh wont give you radar because Elon didn't want radar. They could

The reason latinum was so valuable is because it couldn't be made in a replicator for hand wavey reasons. Gold could be and therefore its value became the energy cost to produce it in a replicator, the same as anything else really. Lat

I disagree, calling out Russian influence does not do them a favor. It clears the air. I called out the Greens specifically because they have the gall to call themselves the Green party when they support the opposite. And to probably misquo

The same Germany where the "Green party" pushed to close nuclear power plants and buy more gas from the Russians. Truly clown world.

Definitely true. People are shaped different so there's room for more than one type on the market. I just wish there was more options for me other than the galaxy live and the original airpods.

I can't wear earbuds that stick inside your ear canal. They just don't fit me and are extremely uncomfortable. I have two pair of galaxy buds live for this reason. I've even swapped the batteries on both pair to keep them goi

Ah, so if you are using encryption on a digital mode like DMR or P25 for example, they have very distinct sound and appearance over the air. Its pretty unmistakable as common digital modes can be identified by ear by experienced Hams. So if

That's a fair point but I've seen for a few years now Baofeng Ham radios resold as walkie talkies for recreational use. Often advertised as for powersports like ATVs and boating. This is completely illegal but these resellers have
