Right, but they were still building appliances in the 90s. And they're still building appliances now, presumably because they realized that selling dependable, affordable cars/trucks/suvs to everyone would put them in the dom

I'm not speaking of the Supra - only of the claim that Toyota is a shell of its former self. I don't think the Toyota is bad, and I think they're doing quite well at what they're good at, even if it pisses car enthusiast

But for the non-car enthusiast, Toyota still dominates. Its almost a multigenerational "meme" in my family to buy Toyota. So, while they might be pissing off the niche enthusiast community, they're still winning for people wh

The OP is fairly opaque in their acceptance of socialist ideas- perhaps if you disagree enough to comment the very least you could do is provide some substance.

I mostly agree with you but there is a legitimate use. Imagine if you couldn't use your hands or interact with technology due to a disability - these devices would make the world so much easier to interact with.

I've been in a Union and hated it, however I would advocate for their purpose with a whole heart.

The OPs comment does no such thing. I'm not sure why you find a battle here.

Agreed.

Are you claiming that Israel is objectively right in this conflict? If so, can you clarify what you mean by that?

You are the second person to link me to an article about this bill today - absolute insanity.

Do you have any sort of evidence for these claims? This all sounds a little bit wild and "feely."

I like America. I find its people, at least offline, to be warm and generous. I love the outdoors and the massive breadth of natural beauty in this country. However, it is very painful to me that part of my income gets funneled into the poc

I really like the size of the SE - however I find the 6/7/8 to be a pretty great size too. I don't know how big the newer ones are in comparison.

Agreed. It is so easy to assume the worst from anyone - especially on the internet. It helps me, personally, to reread through someone's words and try to grasp what they are saying as strongly as possible before reacting.

I find the preinstalled apple software to be fantastic. I choose it over alternatives at work and at home. The only exception is the Podcasts app. I hate that app with a burning passion.

There are properties all over the midwest that can be had for a song - run down, in Detroit or not. My sister in law just bought a nice house for 70k in Kalamazoo. That wouldn't buy you a house boat in Seattle. My point is that if you

I meant that there was no magic to lower cost of property in the Midwest, not that there was no magic to be found there.

I think a lot of my stress comes from the fact that, while I wouldn't have done anything differently, I had to put myself in the hole 60k or so to come out of the economic tar sands of being from nowhere, and doing some really dumb shi

This is the essence of land in the Midwest. You do get what you pay for, there's no magic to it.

There are a lot of assumptions about my decisions and my lifestyle in response to my original post. I am not angry at my situation, rather, I worry about my younger brother, and all of the other people out there who have yet to get as lucky

"They work in big cities and rural towns. They’ve tried to save — but rent, child care, student loans and medical bills get in the way." Yikes. I'm not exactly living paycheck to paycheck, but I can relate to this. It's

Right. It(audiophiles) also seems like a pretty dead horse to beat. Not many original criticisms come of these discussions. Ya don't have people critizing folks buying a Porsche when a corolla will do the job just as well. Audiophiles,

You can't be serious? We could reduce almost any minutae of life to the uninteresting... Challeninging yourself, and doing something unique is interesting. I can hardly believe I'm wasting my time typing this out.

As someone from Michigan, the UP, while great in its own right(just as the rest of the state of Michigan outside of Detroit and it's suburbs), is very much being idealized here. I live on the west coast now and the beauty simply does n

The usual reasoning I see on HN wrt sympathy for these execs is something along the lines of "they are worth more, so they get paid more." The argument seems to fall apart when they are they very same people who ran the company in

Hadn't even known of John Prine until I found a stack of CDs in a case washed up on a beach in Olympia, Washington- I dried out the CD's and stuck them in the 1996 Jeep. Really awesome musician.
