Liability is capped by court (e.g. small claims court) or by specific claim type depending on the legislation of the jurisdiction (e.g. speeding tickets typically have set fines varying by state). Liability is not capped by your ability to

There's one or two still kicking around that I visit myself, but I'll admit I don't miss not having threaded conversations. Trying to follow a conversation with other people butting in with low effort shit posting is way hard

What seems to be missing for me at least is that I doubt I would have done well being assigned entire films on top of my regular course load worth of studies. Paying attention to a film enough to emotionally connect with the content, take n

Eh... The concrete looks to me like a bland imitation of Spanish Adobe style building. It's better than most of the brutalism we have around here, I'll grant you that, but still not really my cup of tea.

In a university Mandarin class, one of the adult students (i.e. probably 40 or so) WAY over exaggerated his tones, to the point that the little old lady teaching us laughed out loud after one of his answers. A few years later, he had the mo

Pretty much any place with brutalist architecture, really. I'll happily take pretty much any revival or classical style over "modern" or brutalist style. There's nothing more depressing than walking by beautiful historic

Most US states cap speed limits around schools at 15mph when children are present. There may also be blinking lights above these signs during times that will be likely. I'm not sure how much of that Waymo's cars take into account,

There wasn't any demonization of math when I was in school, but no shortage of "you can grow up to be anything" and "do what you love" rather than "get a job that will pay for doing all the things you love&quot

Muscles atrophy without consistent activity. VR can't replace that for someone with a broken hip / leg / spine. The whole cardiopulmonary system weakens with age, as does the immune system and healing takes longer, so an inju

Paper checks aren't nearly so common for anything other than maybe a local tradesman or if you're renting from an individual. It's not uncommon to see high traffic places like gas stations refuse paper checks outright, or onl

Big tech companies are biased to sourcing from big name universities that have a lot of foreign students, and big tech companies were much more likely to go through the effort of H1B than smaller companies. As such your candidate pool is mo

This is just whitewashing crime. The people being hurt by this aren't the millionaire or billionaire tech caste. I'm reminded of when rioters were trashing stores in response to George Floyd's death. The usual justification w

"Smart" in all other classes of purchases typically means IoT / Internet connected. The computerization of formerly mechanical features making it harder to DIY repair is a separate but also valid concern, though I'm not

The health consequences of inhaling exhaust particulates are far more harmful than the equivalent CO2 contribution to greenhouse effect warming unfortunately. All in all, a well tuned ICE is better for everyone than a poorly tuned one, if y

I can't help but think of a video of a talk by someone- uncle Bob maybe?- talking about the origin of the agile manifesto. He framed it as software developers were once the experts in the room, but so many young people joined the indus

I don't disagree that the implementation is all kinds of wrong. I'm just surprised it took them this long to compel it.

I definitely don't disagree that the implementation is problematic, I'm just surprised it took this long for it to happen.

I can't believe it took this long. We have mandatory identification for all kinds of things that are illegal to purchase or engage in under a certain age. Nobody wants to prosecute 12 year old kids for lying when the clicked the "

Unless you live somewhere that (air, e.g. in an EV) heat pumps can't function at high efficiency. Tonight and tomorrow night will be -20F/-28C. Always good to have a backup plan, no matter what your primary heat source is.

Industrial buildings tend to be much easier to renovate, because they're filled with big open spaces. Commercial office buildings are optimized for seating space, so you get a lot more interior walls already built and often shorter cei
