that's doubtful. Sure they will eventually go away but they're still popular amongst the moderately rich. However I can see forcing conversion of everything over to non leaded fuel spread out across 20 years or something.

You first point: that's not even close to being enslaved or forced to do whatever your government tells you to do under threat of imprisonment. Yes, it is very, very different.

1st point will never happen in democracies 2nd point is also debatable in western democracies. What you proscribe is only possible (currently) in dictatorships. It may be possible in 20 years after many more weather and climate disasters

This won't crumple anything other than the most rigid/starchy of clothes.

I wonder if she considered making "extensions that are a bit taller than the vertical distance of the hangers and then you could get even more stuff on one rack as you stagger the shorter and taller hangers.

or just to try it out. But that, like it, and then buy in bulk. I have seen some -massive' amounts of cloths stuff in closets.

Yeah, I worked at one small scale place. Our final products were very expensive (around $5k-$20k, depending on features). The case that the instrument went into cost us almost $150 a pop from a local metal shop, which was (relatively) small

yep, anyone making money off software would be more than happy to pay $10-20 a month.

I think the problem is that they didn't rebuke these groups and tell them that the people don't want to approve stazi tactics in order make it easier for police surveillance for their pet "concern". We all know the prima

lol this actually happened to me. I came home with a note on my door and fixed gutter. Turns out they were supposed to fix someone's a few houses down but saw my house (first on the street). I was going to fix it myself. I called them

what are kids voicing that should result in the firing of thousands or even tens of thousands of adults because a corporation got dissolved? Seems a bit overboard

I can understand land, but isn't entering an actual building/home/garage without permission a crime even if it was unlocked? it seems like it should be, but my view is tainted by US law which is overly complicated and varies

yeah, usually you get a forceful entry charge in addition. You can't just walk into someone's house even if their door is ajar or unlocked. I'm not sure if cracking it and say asking "is anyone here?", My guess it i

Stepping on someone's land marked as "no trespassing" is one thing (and a big thing) in the USA, just walking into someone's house, is B&E if the person wants the yokels to press charges and you didn't have per

Meh, I use my iphone as a tool. Not saying I wouldn't like more right to repair/reuse/recycle laws but I'm not panicking yet. And it's not just iphones, my $50k car is not really mine either.

I'd like to see a source on that. I can't imagine them making it opt out, I've lived in five states and all were opt in

That would never pass in the USA, like not in a million years and the politicians would all likely get unelected during the next election cycle.

That's kind of the the feeling that I got from chatting up my opthomologist. She cited the sheer complexity and number of nerve fibers (>1 million) going from an eye to the brain is incredible.

I don't. I spend a lot more time thinking, debugging, and designing software than I do typing it. I am a decently fast touch typist (about 90WPM), but I don't think it makes much difference in my day-to-day ability to output softw

mehhhhh you don't need a tiling window manager; lxde, lxqt, xfce are all fine "regular" window managers for low memory machines as long as you don't load a bunch of garbage that you don't have to have.

I like my mac book pro but I'm not eating it up or justifying it. I'm just biting my tongue and paying it, knowing I get roughly 2x as much time out of my apple devices as I do out of cheaper PC/Android stuff. Plus I need a m

It doesn't cost apple $200 to go from 8GB to 16GB, it's likely 1/10th of that since they are ordering processors in the millions at the lowest point available in silicon manufacturing. I've never had an apple product fai

How is increasing the lifespan of the MBP more unfriendly to the environment??

the point is that pure greed keeps them from doubling it and giving people a bit more power.

I generally preheat my cast iron until drops of water instantly sizzle away or for searing dance around the pan . I pretty much only use extra virgin olive oil (low heat cooking) or avacado oil (high heat cooking, like searing a steak) in a

Are you discounting the cost of development of technology to support the new semiconductor material? that along with it's rarity is what I suspect they're talking about.

There should be basically an off switch, no GPS, no antenna, no internet connection. I don't care if it's opt in or opt out, I just want a kill switch.

but y tho? I use (in addition to my carbon steel pans) the standard cast iron el cheapo version of Lodge and nothing sticks if you season your pan and heat to the proper temperature.
