It is a tautology in a sense, but the point is that the case isn't "asian people are treated like white people in tech". The case is "white and asian people are treated like X in tech". Hope that makes sense.

> You never feel uncomfortable when you are the only non-white? Well I am white, so no. > I meant to draw attention to how many non-whites are forced to immerse themselves in mostly white groups and can feel ostracized in the US Well

To be honest, the easiest way is to 1) Buy and install a bunch of ring cameras and 2) Buy and learn to use a Mossberg 500 with a 18" barrel. Maybe another gun, too. Total cost: Idk, $800-1800.

All for it. Hoping it becomes a statewide ban in the next few years. I'm really sick of Tues-Thurs having 30-40 2-stroke engines idling/running for basically 3 straight hours. It's noisy, and I can definitely smell it, and it

Likewise, an interesting potential solution to the problem. I hadn't thought of a lower spring rate. It would certainly reduce the braking distance. A lot more complexity, cost, and weight, though.

You have made good points and I appreciate your response. I also don't really want this discussion. Your point about not overrunning the main thread is particularly applicable.

I thought you were playing devil's advocate and I wanted to take the bait. My apologies. Regardless, in a discussion, I don't the onus is on me expound on the numerous facets of the position right from the get-go. Abortion is a to

Exactly. When will the world come to its senses on abortion and realize it's the basic human right of a pregnant person to abort a pregnancy they don't want?

Stability. Roads very often have curvature built into them for rain/runoff/erosion mgmt. If your road surface is an arch, having a wheel at the apex is not gonna go well. You gon' tip over.

In other words, can't afford to own/operate a car. Note, that's not a put down on said people. I think it's a shame such situations exist. But, if you can't afford to pay for insurance/gas/maintenance, the

Not OP. IMO, nobody. Not a single human has the "right" hands.

Maybe not, but they are clearly doing much more than just that, as a cursory google search (and the article) tells us.

Lucid supplies the batteries for Formula E, and has for a few years, and I believe they recently resigned a contract to be the continued battery supplier for FE.

I think what you're trying to say is that the metaphorical "lynching" is justified given the deleterious effects of hedge funds continued existence, correct?

It varies with wind and heat, yes. Some days it's fine, others are god awful.

I suspect it is because callinge everyone who buys organic food (probably a significant % of this site) stupid isn't a great way to frame the argument, regardless of its accuracy.

You are creating poor strawmen and you are not even attempting to interpret arguments charitably. Good day.
