I agree that trying to convince everyone to not drink and drive isn't likely to be successful, it's just that I thought from your comment that you were saying that you got drunk an…

You could just not get drunk...

Professional musicians these days earn their living by going on tour and selling concert tickets and merchandise (esp. T-shirts). The biggest ones are quite profitable, and the con…

Taken as a whole, sure, but all those things you refer to in a browser are components, probably developed by different teams or even reused by entirely separate projects. By that m…

>It's absolutely possible to have kids and a happy relationship, just as... Oh, I completely agree it's possible . Plenty of people do. But what are the odds that you'll achieve th…

Both you and your dad sound like complete assholes to be throwing that term around, esp. when all I did was ask a question. Of course, your dad is a cop, so being an asshole is nor…

It's not going to be enough, that's why. Sure, you can work more right now to try to save up money, but making 30% more money now isn't remotely enough to make up for how much thos…

I fail to see what the problem is. If you don't like their service, then switch to a competitor, or just set up your own git server. It's like this for any vendor: if you don't lik…

I love how there's still no response on this question.

>But there are a lot of people who build their own special purpose devices, Those are called "hobbyists". >and all the alpha/beta testing happens with manually soldered hardware, s…

In the days of the Slant-6, cars never got to 300k miles unless they had ridiculously meticulous maintenance. Detroit cars were lucky to get to 100k without falling apart. These da…

OK, but that still doesn't explain why it's a "spectacularly bad idea" for police/DA to not bother prosecuting in cases like this. What exactly are they supposed to do when they do…

>So yeah, it happens; it's just a spectacularly bad idea for the police to do it. If they hadn't declined to file charges, my friend and another murder victim would probably still …

Soldering? Soldering for electronics is almost all automated now, and with most electronics being surface-mount it's mostly done by stenciled solder paste and reflow. The exception…

Commercial construction sustainably employs a lot of people (and commercial buildings last a minimum of 50 years). HVAC installation and repair sustainably employs a lot of people.…

Most of the jobs you're talking about are absolutely useless to people in foreign nations. People in China don't care about your child protection case workers, health care workers,…

Building houses is a "more-or-less one-time event" too by your logic. I don't see the construction industry evaporating any time soon. In addition, as someone else said, there's a …

Me too; this is the first I've heard of it. I guess I never scrolled down enough to see it.

In Europe or Canada, they don't have the insanely-high healthcare insurance costs that Americans have.

All the jackets I've ever had have a zipper in front. You zip them up, and wind doesn't get in. It's far more protection than a silly little piece of silk cloth tied around your ne…

I have a terrible time with work because of distractions, but the noise pollution in a city doesn't bother me much at all. Loud motorcyclists are a pain, but it helps to live in pl…

>If a car is approved in one EU country, it’s approved in all. If a car is denied in one EU country, it is denied in all. Huh? How does that work? What happens if Germany denies th…

USB-C can only handle 60W, and maybe 100W with certain cables, according to the spec. That's not enough for high-end workstation laptops. And honestly, pumping 5A through those tin…

>Unlike IE and FireFox and Safari it comes from a company that is notorious for wanting to know everything about you. That's not true. Microsoft has now gotten into the spying busi…
