Most regulation is effectively coercion. The difference is regulation isn’t easily rolled back, whereas the current approach to modifying behavior is (as we’ve seen, numerous times in the last few months even). One is more tolerant of failu

Is the method by which it’s communicated what gives you negative feelings? Because this is an approach to handling the labor dumping that’s been allowed in nearly every industry since the 1980s, and it’s been used numerous times in the US a

I think universal vehicle inspections alone would massively cut down on a significant amount of accidents, especially in Michigan. The number of people I see driving in 6” of snow with bald tires, grinding brakes, and blown out suspension i

Roundabouts are great… except when you install them in places people don’t understand how to traverse them. A list of the most dangerous intersections in Michigan is published every year, and the roundabouts near me pretty consistently make

Undoubtedly I’ve seen / played with you at one point or another. I spent many years in these kinds of servers, because with active mods they weren’t toxic. You kept the cheaters at bay, and they were reliable places to jump in, frag an

The self-checkout is the one that gets me. I'm paying you money for products, and you both continuously raise prices, and make it less convenient for me to shop there. That is, unless I want to order it for delivery online, and pay an

I’ve worked in technology roles for 20 years. If you told me 20 years ago that my career was going to evolve the way it did, I never would have believed it. I’ve worked at 8 companies in that time, had 12 different roles, and managed people

The Fiat 500 and Smart car survive surprisingly well in crash testing. If the IIHS put Kei trucks through fair crash tests and they passed, they should absolutely be given a fair chance. I’m a big proponent of vehicles like this being on th

You can also see an uptick in cheating after a certain point, leading me to believe that potentially some of their additional measures were effective, until cheat makers learned how to get around them.

It isn’t a simple money in, money out system. You’re taking higher value money in one year, and paying out some money that’s worth less later (inflation)… while at the same time, you’re investing the pool of money you collected, and earning

Whether you agree with the Affordable Healthcare Act or not, I feel like nobody remembers “lifetime maximums.” I have some relatively minor (but massively impactful) pre-existing conditions, and I would have exceeded my lifetime maximum by

Forgive me, I struggle with reading (attention) so I tend to skim… but from what I picked up, this vaguely sounds similar to a situation that lost Title Source a $700M lawsuit over intellectual property. Became intimately familiar with the

Cool project… for homelab stuff though, I lean towards simpler, cheaper solutions…. Like Mikrotik hardware, and low power mini PCs. I’m not hosting a business out of my house, it all functions perfectly fine.

So we’re measuring flatpak separately how.. if I’ve installed Steam via Flatpak instead of Pacman? So I fall into Flatpak, and not Manjaro? Am I missing something? That seems flawed.

I had one of these exact keyboards (at least the same keycap color scheme, etc). It was actually really pleasant to use, but it was far too large for my liking. I ended up going back to 60% boards with blue switches.
