This just feels like whataboutism, no one denies that the European imperialism was bad.

I'd argue a pickup truck does everything described better than the three vehicles you posted. Most people only have one vehicle and a pickup is simply a great jack of all trades. I 100% agree that pickups are a American cultural icon (

I have no data here, I would guess that number would be lower today than in 2013. My reasoning being the proliferation of smart phones in second and third world countries and the general trend of more web 2.0 users, though I fully accept th

Personal anecdote, cyclists blow through stop signs because the infrastructure isn't built for bicycles. Having to come to a stop and then start up on a bicycle is the hardest part and cyclists hate it. Source: Commuting to work on a b

>Developer to me is someone who develops logic, not some interaction with JavaScript. As a front end developer this is a bit insulting. This idea that JavaScript developers are somehow "lesser" is tired and totally overlooks th

I use Twitter a lot (90k Tweets, 2.1k followers, my account is 8 years old), the best thing about the like is being able to end a conversation without saying anything. Liking a reply to is a great way to say "I've acknowledged you

I agree, after looking over the project the first thing I thought was "I bet I could do this myself". +1 for hiding the details and adding a little jargon.

Yep. CO in general is a very white state so I wonder how relevant that is? It is interesting regardless.

I no longer live in CO, at this point I assume most people who buy off the black market just have a friend with a lot of plants who can grow it at a cheaper price.

Personal anecdote, I was a heavy cannabis user in Colorado when it became legal. In the beginning most people still would purchase green from their dealer to avoid the the high tax. Over time, most people simply switched to using dispensari

Slight correction here. According to the Report on the Economic (2015), only 31% of the people responded stated that they could not cover the expense. It should also be noted that 46% of the total respondents said that they would have a har
