False and dangerous to whom? Anyone in a position to be using oxygen candles or bottled oxygen in a survival shelter setting is likely to have had safety training in how to use them, and if it is a situation where CO2 concentration is likel

That looks pretty cool, but as most/all DBMSs come with a TUI utility*, what is the advantage? *(psql, sqlplus, isql, etc....)

I would presume the ultimate goal from the perspective of the railroads is totally autonomous trains with no human crew. There may be reason not apparent, but that seems like a much more practical goal than automating trucks and cars on roa

It's more than just profit. We need to move goods around. We use airplanes, trains, and trucks. All of those vehicles have imperfect safety. We accept that because we need a functioning economy.

But it's a matter of probabilities. It's not like a train will derail if it's over some length, and won't derail if it's shorter. A 10-car train can derail, it's just less likely at least for causes that ar

I'm not sure what portion of derailment costs are externalized. I've seen a few in town, none that involved hazmat spills thankfully, mostly coal trains. But the repair of the rail and track bed, hiring of services to lift the d

You seem to be assuming that the 25 or 30% of people who have used cannabis are all people that would otherwise be both interested and qualified as recruiting targets? It's not clear to me that the requirement to be drug-free is exclud

Sell locally on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. You'll avoid scams from fake buyers that way also, if you limit yourself to in-person cash sales.

Probably none, if they were never used. Again supporting the idea that they are better at creating a feeling of security than actually making any difference.

I pretty much just know what time it is within about a quarter-hour. I stopped wearing a watch when I realized that.

Yeah, a brand-new, zero feedback account selling used consumer electronics screams fence, unfortunately for those who are doing it legitimately.

I lived to my mid-30s before I ever carried a mobile phone. In that time I do not recall ever needing to call 911 on a pay phone. How often has a mobile phone helped you in an emergency? For me, never. I think this is one of those easy-to-i

You don't need any of it. I grew up without any of this mobile or home computing technology, and I don't see anything essential today that I cannot do without it. It's all about convenience.

Yep, I was just about to comment that this kind of decision is a lot easier to make when you have the fuck-you money that Goodfellow doubtless has.

Yep, I have a small cast-iron pan that I use for eggs. It's well seasoned and the eggs don't stick. The key is you need to get it hot (not too hot, about 275 degrees F is good) then add a little butter and when that has melted, sp

Well, it's not truly autonomous.

The cost of a VPS where you can host stuff like this is far less than a Netflix subscription. You can just do it for the entertainment or satisfaction that it provides without worrying about what it costs or "monetizing" it.

If the ask was 645K and the seller got a bid of 700K would they counter higher? As a buyer I'd tell them to fuck off.

They have to do somthing to prevent the epidemic of people paying taxes other than their own.

I've pretty much given up on any kind of shopping aggregator. I go to the brand/manufacturer website directly and buy online there if possible. I feel that's the best way to get what I am intending to buy, even if it's n

How is AARP still a thing. All I can see that they do is beg people to join starting when they are about 55. I don't see that there would be any benefit for doing so.

Uncle Sam will ensure that the US has an aerospace industry adequate to meet military needs. Whether this will forever include Boeing I'm not certain. Seems like there is an opportunity here for companies such as Lockheed to make a mov

To be fair, the IRS does not "come after you" if you make a mistake. They send you a letter, with request for the additional amount due, and if you agree, you pay it. Done.

I tried using it; it's very limited. It might work for you if you have W2 income and nothing else.

I'm not sure I like the idea of land value taxes though I concede there is a better argument that government expenses correlate better to land owned than to income.

Can we please just solve the much bigger problem which is that ordinary people should not need to use any third party services to create, validate, and submit individual income tax returns. The IRS can and should be the provider of this sof
