The women cheating would land in jail? Or the guy installing obvious cameras in his house that his wife knows about and agrees to have there?

Thank you. Words matter. I notice most gfs these days resort to "why do I have to..." when upset. Which bothers me because I have never ever said someone MUST do anything. There are many things a person should do. But almost nothi

I used to work in car sales, and now do construction saas sales and interact with the workers a lot. So 95% male coworkers/friends. And since I'm in sales overall I have a lot of friends and I talk a lot. And I like to drink, and

Obviously. Although it also adds fake excuses about location and time frames to the mix. The cameras also work to make a wife think twice about going out on Thursday night and telling her husband she's gone to sleep. A friend, that nev

Hah. When I write concrete statements someone always comes by and says that's wrong, or a bigoted view. So Ive been trying to see if letting people figure out the obvious answer themselves works better. Obviously the place without head

I work in construction saas of a certain kind, and when I visit customers there is a very very clear difference in quality/size/revenue in companies that allow headphones and those that don't. I'll let you decide which o

I also know people that installed gps trackers and audio listening devices in cars to verify cheating. Everyone that needed to verify for their own sanity did indeed find proof. Fyi, this was amongst car salesman. But I can't say the 1

In regards to how often people cheat in marriage (the stats are a bit sad), or of someone using cameras to deter it from happening?

I'm sad to say it works on me. Sometimes I know I want an AI response. Instead of going to an AI provider, I just type the prompt into the url bar and Google via enter. Because I'll know I'll get googled AI blurb. I used to w

I have two friends that installed them to basically deter their wives from cheating at their house when they are away. You could argue it's to 'catch' but obviously they aren't even going to attempt it knowing the camera

My parents older windows 10 laptop was getting slow and battery wasn't great. They bought a new windows 11 laptop from Costco for $600. Yes cheap, but not total garbage. Tried using it for a few weeks. Worse performance that their 6 ye

Considering the distance from one delivery to the next in a van is short, and the warehouse to town distance is split via a hundred packages, it just has to be the electric van. Maybe things will make more sense if the drone can carry 20 li

I do talk to actual teachers at many social events, and IMO they are a joke. Maybe it's hard to get this across in short messages. Maybe take a look at reading and math proficiency rates... And then add in the fact that many kids propp

You should really consider how much energy it takes to levitate an 80lb drone while flying across town, compared to how much energy it takes to roll an 8000lb van across town (even ignoring the fact that the van might deliver 100 packages w

When I said government employees make above market, I didn't mean for the general area average.. I meant for the work they do. Should a city landscape truck driver make $250k because his truck drives around a rich town? No, he should m

I personally am not of the belief that anyone making under $90k a year is dumb. I believe if you were selective, you could take smart motivated people from other industries that don't pay much but still have smart employees, and have t

Yes it's possible for a woman to remain single at 30, she isn't that bright. The ones that got married younger probably are a bit smarter.

I date a lot of teachers. My last one was in the San Ramon (CA) Valley School district, she makes about $90k a year at 34 years old. Talking to her basically makes me want to homeschool my kids to make sure someone like her isn't thei

Those cars are often bought and fixed and sold on the market. Others go for parts to keep the rest on the roads.

I suppose, but most people don't crash their cars that often. If they did, insurance would basically be unaffordable for most people just based on statistics of how much they'd have to pay out. No one in my family has had a major

I agree. I've had a 300k mile Silverado and currently own a 210k mile Volt. The thing that's basically hanging over the Volts head is a battery problem you almost can't even test for. The gas motor is doing just great.

Maybe on the older models. But I'm a sucker for buying high miles cars, and you simply won't even FIND a high miles Audi A7 for example. You'll find cheap ones sure, for $5k even, with 150k miles and multiple issues the owner

What does this have to do with calling a criminal telling them that the sheriff is on their way to their house to serve a warrant?

I love my Chevy Volt. But I can't recommend a $5k volt to any of my friends wanting a cheap car. Because when you buy a $5k Toyota, it's basically never a random sensor glitch away from costing you $5k+ even at an independent. But

The reason the average ice car doesn't last 200k miles is because car purchases are amazingly irrational. Other than a few unlucky models, basically any Toyota or Honda will go over 200k miles. I own two 250k mile Toyota/Lexus v

Critical thinking is long gone from most, and this site is now popular enough, and cs is main stream enough, that a good majority of this site even barely thinks beyond what fluff was put in front of them.

I operate an entire saas with 34 paying smb companies, on namecheap shared hosting. PHP/jQuery. While namecheaps time to first bit is a little longer than some, my saas is still faster than 90% of CRMs I've ever used because that

What is it they are enforcing then? I once showed up in Vietnam without my tourist visa approved correctly (long story). Let me tell you, they take that stuff very seriously. Canada won't even let you visit Canada if youve had a DUI i

They're some kind of law enforcement agency that is on a mission to capture people breaking laws. If your local sheriff is on their way to serve a warrant of some kind, and you call the person and warn them to leave or alert them to de

Reading HN regarding tech makes me think I'm stupid. Then I see HN discuss hands on real world things, and I start wondering if actually HN is stupid.
