I'm not Shaq and I also have this complaint. Moved recently from an iPhone 13 mini which I could easily use with one hand to a iPhone 17 Pro which I can not use with one hand.

Not necessarily. Unless I am misunderstanding what specifically is being referred to as a tram. In Portland, Oregon for example, we have small trains that run at street level and share lanes with automobile traffic.

Are you just saying that no company should be selling pickup trucks or SUVs?

Same, been seeing quite a few of them around Portland, Oregon as well. Would definitely get one if I was in the market for a vehicle right now. I really like the form factor of a pickup or SUV vs. what Tesla has to offer.

Completely agree that fixing the government is the real solution, but until that is done, why shouldn't private companies be able to produce (optional) tools that make filing easier?

That's a slightly different issue though. Just saying that because the government has offered a solution to the problem of filing taxes doesn't automatically imply that no other organizations that are solving the same problem dese

That seems like an overly broad statement. If the companies producing tax filing software were solving a problem for their users then why shouldn't they exist. Even with this new option being offered by the IRS there is still likely ro

Why are a data access layer and an ORM mutually exclusive? An ORM is just an abstraction over your database. You might find use in it as a tool to access your database but contain the use of the ORM to within your data access layer.

Am I misinterpreting this? It sounds like they are excluding people who match any of the criteria after December 8 2021. If I’m understanding that correctly then most people would not be excluded by criteria 3. There are tons of people, eve

I recently had to go back and file an amended return for one state and file a return for an additional state for the past 5 years. It made my life a lot easier to be able to just install the past 5 years versions of TurboTax Desktop which I

There is an important nuance here in that it assumes that all employers understand that someone being fired can just mean that they weren't a good fit for that particular position. I'm not sure that is universally understood. I wo

The purchase page seems really confusing compared to how they typically do things. Typically, when purchasing something like a Macbook, you select the base model and then some of the upgrades are listed at + $XXX.00. That combined with the

I wouldn't dispute your point that titles are important, but would ask, should they be? It doesn't seem that they really mean much at a lot of places, or are sometimes even given out in place of compensation. One anecdote I can th

Where I live (Portland, Oregon) the rules for sheds are actually pretty generous. It can be something like 10 feet high, 200 square feet or less, and I don't think requires any setback, so the shed in the article might comply with simi

Did it really happen though? I still see stuff with Comcast on it. Like technician trucks, random web pages, postal mailings, etc. It seems to me that they just came up with the term Xfinity and then slowly associated it back with the Comca

Yes, it's common for Amish carpenters to use lot's of modern power tools in the course of their work, but will often remove the electric motor and replace it with a belt drive that is powered by a water wheel or similar.

With this technology, assuming it can capture large amounts of carbon, couldn't some of it be converted to fuel for current use and some of it sequestered. It would certainly take longer to significantly reduce the amount of CO2 in the

I'm not pushing back too hard on this idea, because in general you are likely right about almost anything, that most people don't care that much. However, I'm not sure that Apple really proved that most people don't want

Right, but there are still differences in prices between different makes of the same type of wine. For example a bottle of Charles Shaw Cabernet (ie. two buck chuck) vs. a Robert Mondavi Cabernet. So to put that in employee terms Alice make

I think I get your point that the computers help to increase efficiency, but your illustrative numbers don’t seem right. A lot of brand new cars use more than 3 gallons per 100 miles.

There is just no way this is correct. First, most municipalities in America anyway allow a homeowner to do their own electrical work. You are required to get a permit for the work though and then have it inspected by the city inspector to v
