not sure how typical I am, but I don't buy android for really any other reason than I can get brand new smartphone that does everything I want for under $200 and has multiple sim slots (which makes international travel much easier) At

For me personally, half the benefit of handling your finances correctly is that with the knowledge of one thing often comes learning about something else that might tweak your financial strategy or at the very least increase your options in

Everyone in my family with a net worth over 5MM self-manages their assets. Many financial advisors/managers are percentage based commission which ends up being about as close to a scam as you can get without it being unethical. (very m

You're tired of cynicism against American justice systems? How many times do systemic abuses need to be brought to light before you warrant cynicism as the default? If These cops were properly checked by these higher authorities we wou

I don't think the day can come too soon where people start voting out anyone who is naive enough to make a "think of the children" argument to get their bill passed. The government has been "thinking of the children&quot

Started using rails 10 years ago, myself. Postgres was by far the most common recommendation. In fact I learned a rule of thumb, early on, that I abide by still today: Always start with postgres and only migrate out once you understand your

I struggle to see an ethical argument one could make to force rigid in-office work for anything but the smallest of companies (when the work could be done remotely). Eventually (and it won't take long) you'll hire someone that wou

Maybe more charitably stated, it's a fun title to break the monotony of common titles. Surely just because we disagree with musk on other decisions we don't have to denigrate some harmless fun. I welcome the day where we treat bus

I think an interesting outlook on these situations is that if you believe someone has the right values (e.g. earning money and earning respect from peers) then greed towards those values is a nobel pursuit. If society can't make greed

I've heard people say all of these things, but I don't think that saying these things has any bearing on whether those people disagree with programs that help people. > handouts make people dependent on the government This is a

We definitely agree on wealth not being the goal, but my limited understanding and experience suggests that the goals worth having, require wealth to achieve.

I think not caring about living in a wealthy country is a perfectly fine value judgement to make for yourself, but as someone with just a modest amount of experience living in poor countries, I highly value wealth. Maybe my value system tha

Surely you don't think slavery is an attempt at striking a balance?

What do you suggest is the alternative? To equitably empower the poor and the wealthy even though the poor cost more to empower and have less potential to give back to the country? If you want a wealthy country, I imagine you have strike a

They are not interchangeable though and that's the crux of it. When a service like this tells you you're eligible for using their product for free and then boot you off their service, they are potentially leaving you in a worse st

A possibly better analogy would be if a ride-share gave you a free ride to a concert and all of your friends have used that free ride without issue but then the ride-share company forced you out of the ride halfway to the concert without wa

I'd say most people want cops, because they hate criminals even more, but even in my conservative groups, no one respects someone for being a cop. It's a shitty job that attracts rough characters. I want tons of cops, but I don&#x

I agree it doesn't sound so bad, but from another perspective: why should a cop be given the authority to demand a law abiding citizen move 25ft for any reason? That's just unchecked power waiting to be abused and there's sim

I agree that gray area is optimal, but I don't think you can afford yourself that kind of charity while not providing it to someone else in the very same comment. Do unto others how you want others to do unto you. If you want to judge

You've just committed the same offense you're rebuking someone for. It's not evident that person is republican, it's only evident that they blame the democrats for a problem.

I think you may be misunderstanding me to say that I was unaware that codeweavers existed, but that wasn't the issue. The issue at hand is whether "bottles" ripped that terminology from codeweavers. I have been plenty aware o

How could intellect, or the ability to reason and understand things ever be a problem connecting socially? If it's a problem, then it's not intellect but rather a lack of something. I would suggest it's a lack of intellect, o

I wouldn't be surprised if that's misleading considering the other article was suggesting nitrite precursors are usually what's in the food later to be turned into nitrite, but I'd love to be wrong. You could simply meas

I don't see anything on that site that says anything other than nitrates weren't added. Where are you seeing that it's actually nitrate free?
