Makes me wonder where he's from. Maybe with a South African accent or similar. They sound very different with my Ohio accent though.

Absolutely agree with everything except > On the other hand, it's probably no more inconvenient than locking yourself out... It looks like local control (i.e., with physical access) wasn't affected, so the only convenience lost

Wow you've read a lot into that comment (and hyper-literally). My point was that the "little" things we overlook add up to a lot of trash. My question is not "how about his toothpaste?" but rather "how does h

You're arguing over proximate vs. ultimate causes, when both are causes. This was proximately caused by Snowden disclosing what the NSA was doing. It was ultimately caused by NSA monitoring major swaths of the population. ETA: d

Also, does he brush his teeth? Or buy anything? There's a lot of trash that isn't food packaging.

The problem with this line of thinking is it assumes a specific purpose, then name-calls based on that premise. Maybe consumption isn't the goal and you're unaware of it. If I have as much food as a grocery store, I'm a hoar

This kind of debate by selective vocabulary is frustrating. If a poor or middle class person sits on the cash he has, he's "saving". If a wealthy person sits on the cash he has, he's "hoarding". Regardless of

One can imagine your disappointment when you discovered "code smell" has no actual odor.

Nice write-up. Strikes me as a little strange to donate to charity as negative reinforcement though.

I've experienced that at a trade show too. That convention center did it as a means of charging crazy money for electricity. Internet was very expensive too. Trade shows are a racket facilities-wise but worth it as publicity/B2B

I had a very similar experience once when I worked for the government. I wanted my small desk pointed a different direction, so I rotated it. A few hours later my supervisor and a union rep showed up fuming. They have people for moving th

This is actually my point. It didn't say "no one" is doing it. Even though his means are very crude, he still needs a furnace, a welder, and a lot of other tooling (receiver jig, etc.) to get to the point where he can use a

I don't have a printed source off-hand, but a law enforcement friend once described to me how wealthy criminal (narcotics) gangs work. Your average "dumb street thug" is a low-level throwaway in the eyes of the gang. They w

You've assembled guns, probably, from parts you purchased. Like Legos. I doubt very much that too many people are hammer-forging 7075 receivers in their garages...

Agreed. Also not accounted for is the UK's huge immigration surge (more than doubling the foreign-born UK populace of the mid-90s). [1] Different ancestries carry with them different genetic predispositions. It might be that the GBM

I was referring to fipple's correction with "Spelled" instead of "spelled". If he's going to be pedantic, he's got to go all the way.

The fuel economy situation today is vastly different though. Sticking with the Ford line, In 2000: Taurus sedan: 20/28 Taurus wagon: 19/27 F-150: 16/21 In 2018: Escape SE: 23/30 Edge SE: 21/29 F-150: 20/2

Maybe. What you're describing would mean prison for anyone involved, though, which makes me skeptical. Not saying it's definitely false (I have no way of knowing), and certainly white-collar crime happens. But that would be a

So glad to see this article. From time to time, my wife will ask me "how do I get the kids to learn X?" My answer is always the same: "Forget about the 'learning styles'. Drill baby, drill!"
