Please be more patient :) Replying to posts you didn't read will not help us, definitely.

Just because some people have a different opinion than you, doesn't mean it is due to fallacious reasoning. Ultimately, it seems to come down to rust haters who have a sunken cost fallacy - I spent years writing bad code in bad lanagu

No, they were done because of lobbying from the lumber industry. If you have any evidence that stamped lumber is superior in any way I would love to see it. Because if you've ever built a house, you'd know you have to throw away

Acceptable as a source of lumber to build a house. You know, like the article we're discussing?

It really makes no sense. Quinoa has no upsides here, it is just fashionable with a small number of faux health nuts.

But we're not talking about fire codes, we're talking about building codes. The stamp on lumber does not make it less flammable.

This is a huge problem. Javascript has become a blight on the web, and browsers really need to make it easier to manage stopping scripts on background tabs and such.

You have a magic firefox then. I try to use it that way too, but its sitting at 1.8GB of RAM and 25-30% CPU usage with 103 tabs and it routinely bombs on me after a week or two when it gets up to 2.5GB or so.

So who are you using then? I don't see anyone that has a cap. Everyone charges you if you go over your allotted bandwidth.

It depends on the item. China is known for low quality goods because companies outsource to China to save money. They are telling the companies in China to make cheap crap. The manufacturers are perfectly capable and more than happy to m

You just linked to a honing steel that is incorrectly labelled on amazon as a "sharpening steel" (which no, does not exist) by the random vendor who knows nothing about the products they sell. Read the actual item description fro

But leave the initial off topic and inflammatory political attack there. Very unbiased non-partisan moderation.

I know it is in the guidelines. I am saying that I disagree with that guideline as it does not accomplish the goal the guidelines are intended to accomplish.

It does add to the comment. It hopefully encourages people to actually read the article. People can not contribute to a discussion constructively if they do not read the subject of the discussion.

I don't think it is either. But the post is under the misconception that twitter should be saved because it offers a free speech alternative to the other social media outlets.

by MustardTiger 10y ago
Twitter is 100% opposed to free speech, and have stated policy that they censor views they do not like. There is nothing there to save for the sake of free speech. If you want some form of "social media" with free speech, you&#x

Except they are more likely to give up in other fields too. Even fields with lots of women in them. So no, your assumption is not backed by basic evidence.
