You think the vast majority of people do not experience side effects from anti-depressants? Wild.

Inhumane maybe, but our government should owe its first allegiance to our citizens wellbeing, not imported workers.

Uhh the 5090 alone is double the cost of their quoted PC prices.

I really hope to see the evaporative cooling make a comeback but it seems unnecessary when it’s returning to earth right now. It would also be interesting to see them do shallower dips into the atmosphere then pull back out and repeat. Like

It looks like the ships software did a phenomenal job compensating by adding that much longer Second stage burn time. It was also very cool to see the sea levels vector to compensate for the thrust asymmetry. All and all that ship is look r

It was also noticeably wayyy faster off the launch mount. These V3 raptors are pretty fierce. It took off so fast it seems destined to be stretched imminently.

I would be very against individual investors not being allowed to buy property for investment. I think most people can agree that corporations like blackstone/rock shouldn't be manipulating markets. It would be very bad to force b

Are asylum cases from Venezuela legitimate or not? One cannot support asylum claims while simultaneously believing Maduro didn't deserve to be arrested.

Billions of people will not die from climate change, if anything they would simply not be born. That is already happening in almost every western democracy as fertility rates have dropped precipitously. That is not because we have any food

ICE must cast a wide net in blue cities because they are not sharing data on the criminal undocumented residents. They are shielding the illegal migrants who are already in jail or released on bond. Red areas are not shielding their crimina

This is a top tier super power. Ublock on Firefox and AdGuard on iPhone are pretty effective. When I actually see an ad it physically hurts.

I would hope so. The temptation to strap unknown sensors to map and analyze the customers they fly over will be impossible for them to ignore. Let the drone hunting season commence.

It is so the manager has a policy to fall back on to say no. It is just the second round of negotiation. I am not saying everyone will play ball, but managers whose pay is a function of sales likely will. Have you ever negotiated buying a c

That is not what we were talking about though. We were talking about how much discount you can force out of a retailer via price matching which is a function of its Gross Margin. a 25% discount at the register doesn't mean a bottom lin

You are 100% correct about the quality of the resources in a local library. That’s an artificial barrier to learning though. Aaron Swartz died because of this. JSTOR is a crime against humanity. Libgen is a solution to that. I agree there i

Consider the case of a business operating at excessive margins with huge room to discount but doesn’t. Their fixed costs must then be spread over few transactions and lower their net margins to almost nothing. Instead a business operating a

Because net profit margin is different from gross margin. The products are still marked up way higher than that bottom line number. PMn is the margin after you add in all the over head costs and those really have little to do with whether t

Just ask for their sticker and promise you will put it on your purchase. If another approaches just show them the sticker, they get it.

Retailers will absolutely budge on this technicality, this is to disarm those that aren’t aggressive. Everyone’s retail margins are wayyyyyy higher than they want the consumer to believe and their holding costs are non-negligible.

I will make stores price match anything and everything. I also look at every item on my grocery check out to make sure the price is exactly what the shelf said. I concede no ground to fine print sales expiration dates. However, I am a freak

I do not have children, but i find this mentality to be pretty insane. do you believe climate change is going to make the world uninhabitable or something?

Fundamentally the lack of empathy demonstrated by your friends should make it evident that those determined to be child free are really just selfish. Why would you even want to spend time with people with those personality traits? My best f
