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…
You could just not get drunk...
Professional musicians these days earn their living by going on tour and selling concert tickets and merchandise (esp. T-shirts). The biggest ones are quite profitable, and the concert ticket prices I've seen lately are…
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 fail to see what the problem is. If you don't like their service, then switch to a competitor, or just set up your own git server. It's like this for any vendor: if you don't like the product or service you're…
I love how there's still no response on this question.

In the days of the Slant-6, cars never got to 300k miles unless they had ridiculously meticulous maintenance. Detroit cars were lucky to get to 100k without falling apart. These days, cars are barely broken-in at that…
>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,…
Me too; this is the first I've heard of it. I guess I never scrolled down enough to see it.
In Europe or Canada, they don't have the insanely-high healthcare insurance costs that Americans have.
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…
USB-C can only handle 60W, and maybe 100W with certain cables, according to the spec. That's not enough for high-end workstation laptops. And honestly, pumping 5A through those tiny little contacts and cables seems like…
>Unlike IE and FireFox and Safari it comes from a company that is notorious for wanting to know everything about you. That's not true. Microsoft has now gotten into the spying business, and is infamous for the Windows…
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…
No, you have no proof that everyone else is doing the same thing. Read the article: this is about diesel engines. Many automakers do not make diesel engines at all. Even if it's physically impossible for anyone to meet…
>Does anyone have any history on what motivated the industry to commoditize PC hardware? The current trend is in the opposite direction Exactly, this article is naive silliness in the extreme that fails to understand…
