Cool, let me just put together 10% of a $500,000, totally reasonable. Reminder: not all of us have parents who can gift us down payments.

Owning your own home comes with a whole host of problems that a lot of us would rather not deal with. I’d rather pay $350/month to have a landlord that has to worry about things like the furnace or water heater taking a shit or a door that suddenly refuses to close itself at 9:30 on a Saturday night.

God, thank you for drawing this link between the Pauls, “libertarianism,” and what I’ve always thought I was the only person to refer to as “South Park politics.”

And the PAK FA will never go into production. At least not for Russia. Maybe India will end up with a few. But the fact is that we have 187 F-22s and could build more if a Republican wins the next election. Russia will never have more than a dozen PAK-FAs.

My usual response is “yeah, just like the theory of gravity”.

Our solar system is not symmetrical. So there’s that.

I’m just getting really tired of people misunderstanding what a capital T “Theory” means in science. It doesn’t mean its an untested, unverifiable speculation. But this is not going to change. Because the Bible says stuff so that means its true. So much easier that way.

Apartments in less populated areas usually have assigned parking lots, so you can probably electrify those without too much trouble. The problem is with older apartments like in NYC, where there are very very few parking spots and most people have to hunt for parking on the streets.

What about all those people (myself included) that live in an apartment? How are we going to charge these abominations?

NFL in LA has proven to be a consistent failure. This will be no different.

And then this...

Don’t turn your nose at this, although these stores do have a slight mothball smell—thrift stores!

This is really, really good advice, with exceptions... Personally I would love to buy quality clothes that would last years, but I’m a trans woman so my shape has been changing since I started transitioning 2 years ago. I had to swap out almost all my “men’s” clothing items for “women’s” clothes. Added to that my body…

Agreed. I think the commercial opportunities are huge.

Right, I get that, but it’s a pretty strong “in theory,” because of external variables, including rebel scum manual drivers like myself. It also seems that there would be a volumetric expansion, since these will be more comfortable and convenient than public transportation. The other factor to consider will be…

I hope this translates into mobility services for the disabled as well, because public transit for folks in wheelchairs sucks in most places.

I just bought a small condo and replaced all my switches / outlets. I looked at these but don’t really want to swap over everything again in a few years when the standards change again. USB plug adapters are super cheap so it kind of makes sense to just buy a few of those, especially if you can leverage quickcharge…

I thought it was interesting that you alternated between calling it “Google Play” and “Play Store.” Not faulting you because [insert whole point of the article]. My wife still calls it the “Android Market” and sometimes catches herself and calls it “Androi... I mean, Play Market... Store.”

Something that always annoys me is on my Android when I know I need to pull up something Google makes and I can’t remember if it’s called “Google ____” or just “_____” i.e. Google SkyMap vs. Play Store
