I agree that trying to convince everyone to not drink and drive isn't likely to be successful, it's just that I thought from your comment that you were saying that you got drunk and had to deal with getting home. Sorry…
Taken as a whole, sure, but all those things you refer to in a browser are components, probably developed by different teams or even reused by entirely separate projects. By that measure, a modern Linux distribution is…
Both you and your dad sound like complete assholes to be throwing that term around, esp. when all I did was ask a question. Of course, your dad is a cop, so being an asshole is normal there.
It's not going to be enough, that's why. Sure, you can work more right now to try to save up money, but making 30% more money now isn't remotely enough to make up for how much those kids are going to cost. On top of…
I love how there's still no response on this question.

>So yeah, it happens; it's just a spectacularly bad idea for the police to do it. If they hadn't declined to file charges, my friend and another murder victim would probably still be alive today Sorry about your friend,…
Soldering? Soldering for electronics is almost all automated now, and with most electronics being surface-mount it's mostly done by stenciled solder paste and reflow. The exception is for the few remaining items that…
Commercial construction sustainably employs a lot of people (and commercial buildings last a minimum of 50 years). HVAC installation and repair sustainably employs a lot of people. Roofing sustainably employs a lot of…
Most of the jobs you're talking about are absolutely useless to people in foreign nations. People in China don't care about your child protection case workers, health care workers, utility workers, construction workers,…
All the jackets I've ever had have a zipper in front. You zip them up, and wind doesn't get in. It's far more protection than a silly little piece of silk cloth tied around your neck.
>If a car is approved in one EU country, it’s approved in all. If a car is denied in one EU country, it is denied in all. Huh? How does that work? What happens if Germany denies the Model 3, but France approves it? The…

The way they are now, I'm not sure. High NOx emissions I'm guessing, plus a warning light on the dashboard. But my proposal is to make the car stop operating if the tank is empty, just like it stops operating if your…
My understanding (again, someone please correct me if I'm wrong or missing something) is that NOx emissions are mostly eliminated by injecting DEF (urea) into the exhaust stream, and also that NOx emissions are the big…
What I want to know is: why did they need to lose any performance or fuel economy at all? Am I missing something? My understanding is that this was all because they couldn't meet emissions targets without using a…

You must have a really unique situation, or maybe things are really weird in Canada. Where I am, I live in a small town about an hour from a major metro area. The only shopping where I am is a super-Walmart. If I want…
>Maybe abandoning Windows is not easy. The best things in life don't come easy.
Yeah, that's why I said "not as many"... I think there's a reduction, but it's not anywhere near a collapse. But more importantly, between Amazon, other online sellers (like Powell's), and e-books, this has lead to a…
The idea of a mall as a social space is great; after all, lots of us spent a good portion of our teenage years hanging out at malls for a good reason, before they started kicking out the teens. The problem with this is…
Yeah, malls really don't cater to teenage boys any more, and technology has changed greatly. So all the stores left are ones where online shopping has a much harder time competing, and that's clothing, because you can't…
Yes, and I think it's a great thing. The masses need to be spied on, and I don't think it even needs to be a secret. But the funny part is that it's completely voluntary. You can opt-out any time you want, by simply…
