   If they're exposing the flaws of western capitalism, I view that as a positive. That they are also acting for profit doesn't negate the value of forcing incumbent US megacorps to actually get off their butts and invest in improvin

   This more than mere dismantling of an institution. This is the deliberate and purposeful rape of public land for the sake of profit. The crown jewels of the natural world are being violated so that resource industries can turn new profit.

   This is a completely separate discussion. I originally refuted your (completely asinine) quip about people who "do the minimum and be rewarded". The rest of your comment is social-darwinistic horseshit based on nothing but prejudi

   I never denied that it was NIMBY-ish or elitist. I get it. It's elitist and its exclusive. But shit, I've put in effort and my own time,sweat,gas money, etc. to improve and maintain trails and crags. I don't like it all getti

   I find myself on the opposing side of this debate. I am fine with hiding local gems from the frothing online masses. I don't want to one day go on a favored hike of mine, which has always been deserted and hard to get to, only to find

    Patently absurd. Ford sold 1.24 million TRUCKS in 2019. 327k truck sales in Q4 alone. That's almost as many vehicles as Tesla delivered all year. GM also sold over 2x trucks this year as all Tesla deliveries. I think Dodge/Ram did

    I don't have any pre-built recommendations, but you can figure out some dimensions and find someone online who'd be willing to 3D print it for you. Or you could find a machinist. That'll be fairly expensive, though. Lastly, y

    Eh, running is partly a skill sport. You can have a pretty garbage stride and still run sub-6-minute miles by compensating with good cardiovascular fitness. In fact, most people accidentally improve their stride simply by getting quicker

    FileCoin is a blockchain and is the incentivization layer on top of IPFS that allows users to rent hard drive space. It is intrinsically connected with IPFS.

    Ugh. I thought blockchain hype was dead by now. Additionally, no it's not. If zero nodes rehost and serve the content, it's not available.

    I do lots of mechanical work on my motorcycle and car. To be honest, I think you're right. Changing oil is a pain. Getting ramps out and driving the car up on it and then taking the oil to autozone is more hassle than it's worth.

    My fiance just underwent LASIK about 6 months ago. She has had zero complications. It's a very successful procedure, for the vast majority of people who undergo it. I fail to see why "it should never have been approved".

    To be honest, their return policy is still awesome. You can return things after a whole year of use. They changed it because people were abusing the return policy and treating it like a rental. It makes sense that they stopped offering a li
