"And I don't know about you," says Mayer, "but I certainly can't afford to buy an island on my own!" Again, best of luck to them. They had to crowdfund $250,000 for the tiny piece of land, they're a LONG w

"By December 2019, the group's aspirations became reality, raising over $250,000 to complete the purchase of Coffee Caye, a 1.2-acre, uninhabited island off the coast of Belize" Good luck putting any of that on a single acre

It's been a while since this was a "covid countermeasure", but how about food curfews! Government mandated intermittent fasting between the hours of 8pm and 8am :)

Hopefully people are waking up to this, because it's been true since the beginning. If enough people say "kick rocks" when new restrictions appear from on high, there's nothing a government can really do. Maybe this will

Of course opinions are shaped by outside factors, but the reason those kind of responses are annoying is because they're just so... uninteresting. I'm not the guy from above, but responding with "I disagree with you so are yo

You're right that it indicates a range of addresses, the number after the slash is the number of starting bits that the addresses all share. Check out CIDR Blocks for a more complete answer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wik

Hopefully the companies and government can come to a middle ground that solves both problems. There are quite a few people that drive for supplemental income and don't need all the stuff that the law is now requiring, and there are som

Squats and deadlifting is what got rid of my back pain, which had been mild to moderate for years. Highly recommended, as long as you are VERY mindful of your form.

You're correct, v-if in Vue is for conditional rendering. If the statement evaluates to false then the button isn't added to the DOM. And you're doubly correct, the back-end better verify those requests as well. Can't tr

None of the things you mentioned are "rights", that's just muddling the language. Freedom of speech is a capital-R Right.

Maybe I phrased that poorly, because you're right that we've engaged in this 'otherization' since the beginning of time (for good reasons and bad). Maybe a more important factor is that we're increasingly putting OU

It's a shift in culture, with an added heap of laziness. We're in a time where people like to compartmentalize people/views/ideas in order to dismiss or demonize, because it's easier to do that than challenging idea

Free markets are as close to egalitarian as is possible with markets. Supply and demand set prices while skill set and productivity set wages. It's not perfect, but it's better than anything else we've tried. Interested in wh

All the things you mention are forms of luck, yes. And there's no way to control for them outside of some nightmarish eugenics scenario. It's a fact of life that people are different, and will excel in different facets of their li

I've owned Starbound for at least a year now, and only just started playing last week. Hell of a learning curve, but definitely worth checking out if you liked Terraria.

Skates are more expensive than cleats. Hockey sticks break or are grown out of, and decent ones are a few hundred bucks.

Oh man that's awesome! I saw the Vetinari name and wondered if it was a Sir Terry reference or something else, respect to those folks at VLC.

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. If bans start coming in for activity outside the game, it'll be a complete shit show (and rightly so), but if the info they collect is just another data point to strengthen/we

It takes me 40 minutes one way to get to/from work, more if the traffic sucks. The US is spread out, not having a car is not an option for a majority of our society (outside of high population density cities).

I sit at a desk getting carpal tunnel and fat. I've got respect for my buddies doing what they do, and being successful without a college degree. That's more or less my point, college isn't a good investment for everyone.

It depends on the degree. I'm a Millennial and got my CS degree for $15k, which was a smart investment (and make no mistakes, degrees ARE investments). At the same time I have a friend who is going into a few hundred thousand dollars w

It's a shame that the left has strayed so far from classical liberalism. The pendulum will eventually (hopefully?) swing back the other way.
