Saying this reinforces the double standard. Why can't he stay home while she wins the bread?

I'm not an expert, but if they are simply swaging the tubes out until correct length is met, it's not amazing.

Of course it's not a universal statement. Estimates are never aimed at outliers.

If you make >100k, I can assure you, you are not middle class. You are part of the "not rich enough" class. This class has a lot of money and can reasonably do anything they want, but compare themselves to the ultra rich and think "I'm not rich". The problem is they are always looking up and forget to look down.

I grew up in a ~30k household in the 90's. Something I would call lower middle class. Upper middle class is probably ~70k-100k.

I would tend to agree. The problem would then come back to the terminal emulators. I would miss out on keys like tab complete, home, end, del, and others. Not essential for vim, but definitely for CLI.

Unless everyone who gets free healthcare are considered PEOPLE WHO DON'T NEED MONEY.

I bought a Nexus 10 with the hope of using it for dev. At first, I tried just using terminal emulators. This was quickly ruled out after finding most of them had screwy key bindings when used with a keyboard.

Then I thought I would try using splashtop to remote into my home desktop. I thought this was perfect; I could use the power of my home machine and the portability of the Nexus. Worked great on my home network. After going to a conference, I found that it just could not hold the connection. I'm only using vim on a terminal. It just would not work.

Now here I am eyeing an 11 Macbook Air. Great portability and battery life, but the price is just hard to swallow.

Common doesn't always mean boring.

The strategy isn't about winning. It's about taking people to court that can't afford it. They can lose a case but if the farmer lost the property over legal fees, that's a win. Swoop in and buy it cheap, sell it to someone at profit to farm with their products with tighter contracts to boot.

This doesn't actually seem to be a helicopter. It looks like a multicopter. There is a significant function and theoretical difference.

This is a problem I run into. As a more junior developer, nearly all of my questions I haven't been able to answer with research have already been answered on stackoverflow. Employers want me to have tons of points, but I don't usually have to ask any questions.

I agree and am in the same boat. I don't mind windows, but for dev, linux is much more convenient. Also wanted to say hello from NEO.

There are many effective means of particulate filtration available.

Particulate is only a problem during acceleration. When used in a hybrid system as a generator, it is not a big concern.

The biggest problem is compression. Methane is stored into tanks using a 4 stage compressor. They are expensive due to economies of scale, but I've considered using a paintball CO2 compressor. The problem is I don't have a few thousand for an experimental buy.

Some will claim the conversion costs $12,000 and they are right, but only because in order for it to be "legal" it has to be done by someone who is "nationally certified". In other words, the oil industry has their paws wrapped around nearly every aspect.

Another advantage of CNG (compressed natural gas) is that it can be added in addition to gasoline. A diesel engine, however, does require a mixture of about 20% - 30% methane to run.

Here's a guy who did it himself:

I have been wondering this myself. Diesel burns cleans, can be made from vegetables and the engines can also be used with methane. Not to mention the engines are fundamentally more efficient than gasoline. Not only just as a system, but our current use case of low idles and sitting in traffic, a diesel wipes the floor with gasoline. You can get a diesel in the us, but unless you get the vw, you're stuck with a 4 litre truck. I think another important question is why aren't we converting gasoline cars to run on methane? The conversion is less than 1000$ and can be done by anyone. Its a tank some hoses and a regulator and would bring prices down to about 2$ a gallon.

Kids have less capacity for empathy and a starving man will always eat crumbs. I did my fair share of cable box hacking/noise sifting/etc, but usually adults tend to mature in their preferences. Would you still be aroused by that content?

I didn't say anything about my preference. I said the emotions expressed will be invoked in the viewer.

I never claimed it was primarily empathy. But imagine watching porn where there was no emotion expressed. Uninterested faces and motions. Absolutely no expression from the face, not even flexed muscles or anything to indicate enthusiasm. Pure and simple intercourse. It would look like nature, simple utility. That is not arousing.

Men are sexually stimulated almost wholly by visuals. Some women enjoy porn, but any attack on porn is a direct attack on men. Also, many men will spontaneously ejaculate if not stimulated. Honestly, it is not much different than needing to urinate or defecate. It is a bodily function that must be taken care of or your body will take care of it for you. Watching porn is not a bad thing. Some porn is bad, but watching it certainly is not.

Go watch some porn in public.

Humans have a superpower called empathy. By watching others experience pleasure, we ourselves can experience that pleasure and people will pay for that.

I think you need to update yourself on the details/arguments surrounding this particular debate before commenting.

I can't even put a unicode bullet on the page. Maybe I should be using double tildes or something.

They killed calDAV. IMAP is a bit of a jump, but mark my words, cardDAV will be next.

Google has dropped support for XMPP (chat) and calDAV (calendar syncing). What's next? cardDAV? IMAP?? Honestly I can see that Google is no longer interested in open protocols. They are afraid that it's too easy for their users to simply migrate everything away. Their response is to build a wall around their users. Enough red flags have been raised for me to, unfortunately, say goodbye.

Perhaps I may still buy their hardware, but they want to isolate my data from every company but them. They are no longer reliable.

To disprove a hypothesis, you must already have data. You can't form a hypothesis without data. How can I start to collect data to disprove a hypothesis I haven't come up with yet?

Well to get initial data, you must have some guidance in the data you decide to collect. There must be structure, a control, standardized values. You can't form a proper experiment without first having a hypothesis. Your goal is not to prove it correct regardless of the results, your goal is to gain insight on your hypothesis base on the results. I never said you must prove your hypothesis correct. But the goal is certainly to assess the accuracy of your estimation.

Your comment is really just a strawman tactic anyway. Thread derailed.

>Congrats on the weight loss.

Thank you. Much appreciated.

>Just because something works doesn't mean your hypothesis as to WHY it works is true.

But in general, it actually does. This is how science works. You get an idea that doing something will produce a result. If you do that thing and see the expected result, that indicates a successful hypothesis. After that the conversation devolves into existential questions on whether humans can really know.

Believe it or not, not everything is a corporate conspiracy. Iceberg lettuce is pretty useless, but there are hundreds of thousands of leafy green plants that are edible by humans. Romaine is a better simple alternative, but again there a vast amount of edible leaves. And you don't need to put any toppings on at all. Eat it dry.

>The most revolutionary thing you can do is just eat an apple or gnaw on a carrot or bake a potato.

Not if your goal is to lose weight. Those three plants are extremely high energy (carbs). If you want to do something "revolutionary", grow your own. Raise your own chickens. Pasture feed them. Eat their eggs. Butcher them. Feed them your vegetable scraps. Plant some apple trees. Eat a dandelion. Your brain is trained to rebel against these companies. All they have to do is encourage you to eat right and soon you'll be eating unhealthy just to "piss them off".

I just spent the last year losing 60 pounds. I did so by reducing my food intake. At one point I began to exercise without reducing intake and I began to lose weight. Once classes started, I could not longer exercise as much and my weight loss stagnated. So I tried simply eating less and continued to lose weight. I lost about 40 by exercising only and about 20 reducing intake only.

There is a difference between protein calories and carbohydrate calories and how each is processed, but beside that, calories represent energy. Energy that must be used. Otherwise, it will be stored.
