Right, that makes sense. I think they were really underestimating the risks of distracted driving. Which I think a lot of people (myself included) do.

I don't think that is right. My understanding is that they didn't HAVE to turn the built-in safety features of the Volvo off to make it work, but instead they had to in order to test their equivalent safety feature. If they have a

The device is not always visible when you are using it. Amazon Echo has such an LED (at least the one I am familiar with). But it will misinterpret conversations happening in other rooms now and then. It does get confirmations for most thin

I thought the section heading "Why is the coil the secret sauce?" seemed very dubious (as is acknowledged), but it's been long enough since I've done electronics that I can't contradict it in any way. But an analysi

I don't think someone is ignoring the meaning of antifa when pointing out they beat people up. Or by calling them little-stalinists, given that some of them are stalinists, and some even offer "critical support" to Bashar al-

In the Law, yes, the Fair Labor act was enacted during his presidency. But the Idea of 8 hours of work, 8 hours of sleep, 8 hours for what you will long predates him, and 8 hours was already a standard shift at some (many?) factories by tha

I am incredibly shocked by how much money I am making, more than I expected when growing up, obviously, but more than I expected even when entering the industry. I think everybody else is giving good advice, so here's something I alway

The cheap washers are not $650, that's still an expensive washer. The cheapest new washers are more like $350. And probably not any less reliable that the $650 washer, just less neat buttons, no glass top. Yeah, probably less reliable

Libertarians are at least related to liberals, but it seems the words left, liberal, and libertarian are often confusing, and they're not very fine grained descriptions anyway.

It also includes your youtube videos (you have uploaded). So maybe "the file is 5.5GB BIG, which is roughly 1 movie" would also be a fair comparison to make.

Since that article is from 2010, it's worth noting that Schlitz was relaunched, probably shortly after that article came out. Mainly in tall boys, boasting the original 1960s recipe. It is what it is.
