Conspicuously absent from this story are the numbers that matter; how many kids have been killed and how many have been injured in side-impact crashes because of these supposedly lax standards? I ask this as a parent with a 4-year-old in a booster and 10-year-old who is getting close to being big enough to ride in the…

The fact that there is ANY situation in which someone could have insurance and still have to foot the bill for their own medical expenses proves that the medical insurance system does not work.

Kiiinda glad we don’t let you specifically tho, eventhough a fusion car would probably be amazing :D
(not anti nuclear, I’m french, most our power is and that has helped our grid be almost clean for decades, but still, “occasional nuclear failure” is icky ^^)

I just posted on another thread, but this was a *brand new*, super MASSIVE rocket, using new fuels, built in a freaking field using tents, in a matter of months? I was seriously amazed it even got off the ground! I was absolutely expecting it to get a few feet off the ground, then drop back down and collapse in a far…

when it started the flip up maneuver at the end I literally shouted “holy shit, they’re gonna pull it off!” and then immediately laughed as hard as I have in a long time when it went RUD.

not out of scorn, but out of pure joy that they have the balls to approach this whole enterprise in such a fearless manner.  these…

I was skeptical of Apple and their own chips, looks like I was proven to be wrong..  At the end of the day though, competition is great.  Apple, AMD and Intel duking it out helps all of us.  

I think the problem is that they’re not using real graphic artists anymore. People who went to school to learn about design and lettering and fonts and stuff. Now we have people who got a student load for $100K and took a 2 week webinar in ‘Design for the Web’. The real designers can’t get jobs and are working at…

$300 for 32TB? What kind of drives/deals did you come upon? I spent $550 on 16TB total (in 2018 - 2x 8TB).

What’s weird here, though, is that Filoni is literally the one person who should know this. He created Rebels, and was credited as a writer and supervising director on the series finale. He’s also one of the creator/producers of The Mandalorian, and was credited as the writer and director of this episode. He’s the one…

He had 56G as it was. If his head, decelerating from 139mph, had made direct contact with a metal barrier - let alone the edge of a metal barrier! - then I suspect he wouldn’t just have been knocked out.

Finished my PhD (Aerospace Engineering) in 2016, no college debt (never paid a cent in tuition/books, worked to pay room/board/food), and had already been maxing my 401k contributions for years since I was working full time through half of my PhD. Almost immediately after I was hooded I found another position that…

There are accounting standards, and they are verified. There’s no real reason to be skeptical here.

Aside from assuming facts not in evidence— the author may not even be in school debt, or even if she is, her chosen career may be perfectly capable to rendering those debt (and retirement investment) concerns moot— the fact is, life is a terminal condition, and it is absolutely not worth living unless you take the…

They just figured Trump is currently distracted golfing and asking his Magic 8-Ball if his most recent election conspiracy theory will work.

And when you insist on including your religious iconography in secular spaces, I want to build a time machine and go cheer for the fucking lions.

That’s like saying the burglar defended himself against the home owner.

Well, it probably won’t be designed to fail in 10 years, the bumper won’t fall off in the rain, it won’t have wipers that require you to navigate a touchscreen interface, the roof won’t fly away on your drive home from the dealer, and VW probably won’t downgrade it to a lower trim level if you sell it to someone else.

One of my clients is a car dealer network with 26 Ford and Mazda stores throughout New England and Northern California. If one of the internet reps for any of our stores pulled this stunt, he or she would be fired in an instant.
