You are right, 100db is only like a motorcycle. As loud as a motorcycle but only 12mm? Not Impressed! Get it together little fish!

The real surprise is that anyone trusted google about anything in the first place.

Its posts like this that ensure I’ll have a job for years to come. Comments are worthless too, I mean, just read the code!

I’m curious to how close this tracks with population growth.

Just like “unlimited vacation.” Whenever someone says it you know there is something going on and you aren’t going to like it.

I think at Disney Worlds Animal Kingdom in the Avatar ride queue they have some pretty cool examples of this. I always wondered how they did it and now I know.

I don’t know why anyone would disparage anyone taking care of their own kids. The “workforce” sucks and people should be ashamed they’ve been convinced a “career” is something they should aspire to at all costs. Maybe instead of giving pe

I do not know the reference. Is it that people claim the middle lanes are faster? But I do know that a lot of people across a lot of topics over estimate their ability because they don’t know what they don’t know. Science as a topic isn’t

Intermediate [insert topic here] knowledge associated with overconfidence and negative attitudes. Topics: Science, Sports, Cooking, Driving, Programming… literally anything. I didn’t need a study to know this.

Lots of people can tell the difference and simply don’t care. I care about black levels but I don’t pretend that people who don’t care are clueless.

But you can still pass in the right lane. So a slow driver in the left lane has someone riding their tail and are also getting passed in the right so they can’t even change to the slow lanes anymore. Add in left exits, moving over for veh

The US version (varies by state) of the fast lane is garbage which is why nobody follows it. If you want a passing lane then you need a non passing lane and I don’t think US drivers are willing to make that concession.

Well in my opinion the kids who were working in factories were working on the latest tech. It most definitely sucked and was horrible but the experiences would have prepared them for what the US needed. I think the equivalent today would be

From my understanding Japan didn’t have much child labor, and while I think they had less natural resources, their war production was dwarfed by the US war production. The US pivoted so fast I think at one point in a single month they buil

I do think that the time period and what the kids were doing were an important part of it. Being at the late stage of the industrial age and early stage of the machine age made them familiar with exactly what the US would need and used to

One thing I often wonder is if the US could have pulled off WW2 without these kids having this experience. They would have been at their prime at the time and would have had the grit and know how to get stuff done that maybe the following

The only thing important part is “these books are banned” and “these books are encouraged.” That you don’t care about the specifics says more about you than the ban.

That’s an interesting take... Like, you can write any book you want using the English language, as long as you use Kanji to write it down? You wouldn’t consider that a problem? But regardless you are only reinforcing the point that it wa

Right, there is not shared meaning, so maybe that’s the point of my post. To me 19th century Lithuanians had a real book ban, as I as an American, think about them. If a school decided to ban Twinkies from their lunch menu I wouldn’t say w

by cassac 3y ago
I would argue then that every American you know (including you) is a tiny bit wrong? I (and everyone I know) consider a book ban to be something like when 19th century Russia stated that no book could be written in Lithuanian. That’s a p

I think the ops point was that even if they want to, they don’t want to. I can’t comment on the MN light rail now as I haven’t been on it for a few years, but the green line used to be essentially an open air drug market and the blue lin

I don’t think “the solution” exists because the problem at its core is people and you can’t solve people. If blocking apps reduces the problem even a tiny bit it is just one more preventative tool to add to the tool box. Why limit your to

That’s true of nearly everything though. That lock on your front door? I can easily bypass it but yet you still have it. Anyone determined enough can do almost anything. But throw a wide enough net and at least you can prevent the casua

I’d guess most people, in the US at least, are employed at-will and could be fired right on the spot with no cause given. The problem with that though is you could turn around and file for unemployment which might end up increasing the ass

I don’t know they’d have to award you wages, but the only alternative to that would be firing you. Some might try to do that out of spite but it would be far worse for them than you.

Whenever I read these articles about being kinder in the truth, which I think people can be, I think there needs to be a follow up about how you should also be more accepting of the truth. One side should work to be less offensive and the

I built an enclosure for my prusa out of a 20 dollar tub, so I don’t consider an enclosure like a big thing because they are easy to make. If I didn’t bespoke my own I would have made the ikea enclosure. I can print tou all day, you can’t

I’m not sure what you are trying to say. It sounds like you are saying that because they are factory calibrating it, it’s not needed… so then it’s not needed? What does it matter if it’s less than ideal if it produces satisfactory result
