You might think the comment is "overall appropriate and constructive for the forum" because you don't realize that it is sarcasm. The intended meaning is completely different from what you imagine it to be. The opposite can a

Maybe you and dang have a different ability to recognize sarcasm. Sometimes this is really difficult. Looking at comment history can often help you figure out if something is sarcasm or not. There can also be words that some people find off

The birds and squirrels add worse bacteria, plus viruses and parasites. Bacteria do not grow in a hot dryer machine.

Somalia features an expected lifespan of 56.3 years and a per-person GDP of about $500. Taking off some years for childhood, we get about $20,000 as lifetime earnings. So the $289,017 is over by about a factor of 14.

Laws may protect your home from being seized to pay for a judgement against you. Around here, all the doctors have big houses and nothing else. As soon as they pay off the house, they upgrade. The goal is to have the primary residence be th

That didn't turn out well for the Soviets because the USA was secretly funding and arming the resistance, even providing the Stinger surface-to-air missile. It was a proxy war like Vietnam and Korea, but with the superpowers switching

Losing three vice presidents ought to help with the burn rate. They were insiders at a public company, so perhaps their pay was filed with the SEC.

The census question not asked: are these squirrels native or invasive? In most of the world the answer would be "invasive", particularly in the UK where they are wiping out the natives, but they appear to be native to New York.

Move to "a place principally because of job opportunities". I'm saying that 1-income households can do that. They can go anywhere affordable even if there is only 1 employer with 1 opening. The 2-income households, with notab

The cultural dynamic is intertwined with economic factors. If you will have a 2-income family, you'll want to be where multiple jobs are within a commute. The 1-income family or single person can simply move as needed. If you will have

You could probably do a jet engine, with the fuel and oxidizer sources switched. The aircraft would have oxidizer tanks, not fuel tanks.

If that were possible, it should have already happened. The bus just isn't going to take people point-to-point. It will go to a hub, and then people will change buses, and then another bus will go out. Point-to-point service is persona

That "well-designed and highly utilized bus network" is the hard part. I've never seen it. Around here the buses run pretty empty. Sometimes they are literally empty. They take longer routes than cars, with each passenger goi

A better rule would reference the governmental monopoly on violence. Threatening to nuke a city is extreme violence, but there are about a dozen world leaders who can actually do that without violating their nation's law. On a smaller

We have those big vehicles due to regulation. The CAFE regulations for fuel economy take into account the vehicle's weight and the area on the pavement contained within the tires. Without that regulation, station wagons would still be

What I mean by stealing: If they continued to use the nice Detroit water, but they didn't pay Detroit for that water, it would be stealing. Detroit would shut off the water. If they then reopened the valves or broke into the pumping st

Boeing did actually design extendable landing gear for the 737 MAX-10 model, which hadn't shipped yet. That aircraft is longer. To avoid tail strikes, the rear gear becomes longer as the aircraft is taking off. I'm sure that costs

Right now it is 1 year, plus another 3 years of filler. We could make it 5 with another year of filler, but I don't think that would help. Suppose we mandate another year worth of classes: Ancient Mesopotamian Art, Intersectionality in

You are demanding to punish people for running a city without money. The water could not be properly treated. Better water could not be obtained. This is how things go when you are out of money because you squandered it over decades. So, wh
