It doesn't help much to over engineer. Suppose we design the buildings to last 200 years. After 200 years, they start collapsing at the same rate as the rate of construction. If we built a new one every day, then after 200 years we&#x2

This is way off target: "the kinds of neighborhoods that permanently reduce total driving" People change jobs without changing where they live. It won't matter what kind of neighborhood a person lives in if the person still c

My situation is far worse. The instructor assigns video that is on YouTube, but the kid would rather watch a different video. The assigned video is boring. It's more fun to watch a normal popular video. So blocking YouTube won't w

So it blocks "Malware and Adult Content", but that has never caused trouble in my family. What about the online games that distract from schoolwork, chores, and sleep? YouTube is full of stupid videos. You can even find games on K

It seems like you're not really starting adult life, and you're running out of years to do so. I started my 30's with 3 kids already, and ended my 30's with 9 kids. I bought a house. That house is my responsibility, with

I'm trying to stomp out my son's video game addiction right now. The trouble is that online classes require a web browser, and there are lots of web games.

The error here: it's not problems arising from capitalism You complained that "only so many are built in any given geographic area", and I pointed out that this is for a very non-capitalist reason. Regulation prohibits openin

I have those tools, and I rarely bother with the C they can generate. Plain disassembly isn't so great either. Usually IDA's graph view is the most productive. (it looks like a flow chart made from chunks of assembly code) I reall

Places that provide childcare seem to have fewer children. There is a reasonable mechanism of action: without that childcare, families with children quickly give up on having two incomes, and thus the extra children are less of a burden. On

You can find your own meaning, but you should be honest about the fact that it is your own meaning. English teachers are demanding "correct" interpretation that has nothing to do with what the author intended. It's bullshit,

As a kid I rode around in a bigger station wagon, the Mercury Montego, which was 223.1 in (5,667 mm). Now I drive a Ford E350 that is 236.7 in (6,012 mm). It's 3.45 feet longer than your Outback. I think it's the smallest car that

I bought a $40k Ascent with 8 seats. It's decent. I'm not a fan of the driver assist nonsense. That stuff is dangerous. It actually yanks on the steering wheel, but of course it has no clue about the real world (no strong AI here)

We now have proof that it really is "going far beyond the author's intention". Texas licensed a poem for a standardized test. The poem's author was still alive, and was unable to "correctly" answer test questio

It varies. I've seen software engineering with a security clearance that didn't require a drug test. Of course, all the friends of your friends were going to be interviewed in person, and they'd be asked about your behavior r

The way to beat your fence restriction is to make a fence-like installation of solar panels. There are laws to stop HOAs from blocking solar panels. This is also a great trick to get past zoning restrictions on fence height. It's not a

You can't do that kind of thing with a will. If we ban that for wills, it seems equally proper to ban it for pieces of property. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_against_perpetuities

It really is high school 2.0, as you can tell by the classes offered. There are classes that are below what is traditional for high school, but college credit is given. You can get college credit for the very first introductory algebra clas

I sent two of my kids to community college at 13. The only immaturity problem was that one of the two was a slacker about getting assignments done, but older people at the school also had that issue often enough. The other kid now has a 4.0

The reason why "only so many are built in any given geographic area" is because we aren't being very capitalist or free market. One must obtain a "certificate of need" before opening a new facility, and that will be

Your study does not address all types of injury. I have seen more than a childbirth. I have 12 kids. The most miserable and painful birth was in a hospital. That birth featured pain medication, fetal heart rate monitoring, beeping machines,

I probably wouldn't have most of my family if I'd gone to a hospital. My twins would have been a C-section, and then the scar would have led to another C-section and to troubles with the placenta invading the scar. Before long the

It's not just about injury after the birth. It's about injury during the birth. As soon as the baby and placenta are out, it's too late to avoid injury during childbirth. It is no longer possible to let pain be guidance for m

No, don't get an epidural. Pain has a purpose. It guides you to minimize injury. Be thankful you can feel pain. There are people with genetic defects that prevent feeling pain. These people constantly injure themselves.

I'd say "costs more than the median income" is closer. Adjust for legitimate training costs that are incurred by the workers, and it might be a pretty good definition.
