Everyone who's downvoting me. Please explain why simply stating this is so controversial? Hasan Minhaj did a pretty informative episode on the lawsuit against Harvard affirmative action -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?

Costco. Wait hear me out. I haven't tried jackets or outwear they sell, but they always stock up of decent quality underwear, t-shirts and jeans. Their Levi's last me about 4 years.

I think the quote mischaracterizes static and dynamic load. Yes, the roof can hold 5 teslas stack one on top of the other, but this doesn't tell you much. More practical knowledge would be at what speed the car will fall on the roof be

The big advancement for micro 4/3 in the last two years has been image stabilization using lens and sensor working in tandem. A more recent sensor advancement is dual native ISO in GH5s, which make the system's long downside -- lo

Panasonic has really good image stabilization for MFT systems where lens stabilization and sensor stabilization system work in tandem allowing to take shots with up to 1 second exposure handheld. Basically it's like having gimble insid

I think this argument is more true for personal vehicles that sit idle for 99% of the time -- they don't consume gas when they don't move. For commercial vehicle that spend most of their life on the road, energy savings from runni

You answer your own question. Making any kind of public statement doesn't matter if an organization takes money from a monster. What kind of science is produced by this money? In the past few weeks we've seen the consequence of th

Even with diagnosis this is a cop out. Being autistic does not automatically make a person act shitty towards others and statements like that do a great disservice to autistic community.

This is such an asinine argument because it implies the following: * Let's not examine root causes of anything because freedom * Freedom by itself is good no matter of consequences * This is a very US-centric view as no other country h

Yes, but I feel cheated that Canon put their name on such a terrible product. I would be fine with no-name Chinese camera for the same amount of money, which by the way would have 4K and a hotshoe mount.
