If you don't care about the Expanded Universe (you know, the one Disney killed) you're probably right. If you do, check again, you might be very much in the wrong.
Veering more towards the offtopic, my older son has seen a Hot Wheels car belonging to the Dino Riders set and he wants the other cars belonging to that set. Every brick-and-mortar store I walked in (there were a couple dozen so far) had zounds of Hot Wheels cars on shelves and literally none of them had any possibility of telling me whether they had items from that specific set, where to find them and whether they can order and get me some. All they had was a disorganized mess of cars sitting on shelves.
And then they're wondering "why are our sales slumping?" - because online stores are much better, that's why.
Yes I have it but it's disabled for Slashdot and a couple other websites I respect. I wished the ads on Slashdot would be relevant or even remotely tech-related. Sadly, that's not the case.
There's a middle ground between 'free services without ads subsidized by hopefully paying customers' and 'ads that make you want to claw your eyes out'
Weigh the hive during the night when all bees are in, weigh it during the day when working bees are out, extrapolate based on weight of a bee and how many bees (as a percentage) are gatherers, which is a known quantity for a hive, on average.
Also let's think for a minute outside the USA. Here in my country taxi drivers are generally scum. I've had multiple issues with them over the years, from refused fares to cheating, modified fare counters, fake licenses, etc. I have never taken a cab since Uber started being an option. My score after a few hundred trips is 4.96 and I am generally satisfied with the service. The drivers are mostly much better than cabs any given day. Found a couple exceptions though but way less than I ever rexpected.
Remember, Uber, Lyft and the like appeared because there was demand, demand created by shit taxi services as primary cause.
YOU would be astonished by what many people do, because YOU know better. People, in general, don't know any better regarding a multitude of things, from sex to education to alcohol to entourage. Alexa privacy is somewhere close to the bottom of the pile.
...because Slashdot keeps asking me to agree to some bullshit privacy policy, every fucking time I visit it. The AI researchers were informed and they're now on strike. Too bad their AI misunderstood which website to boycott.
I agree that once in a blue moon that actually DOES happen. But the proper analogy would be to have thousands of shells thrown at me, and one of them contains a small pearl. I'd rather not partake, even if there's a tiny chance of a positive return.
That's exactly what I meant. You get on top, you look down at everyone else and continue to do so even as you lose the top spot, or even more. Very difficult to recover from that.
There's just one thing that broke America: Hubris. The belief that America is the greatest, best, top, first, you-name-it broke it beyond repair. Hubris always turns a champion into a loser, from sports to finance to politics.

I've also not seen any STD.
Way to go, man, keep your tool wrapped and you'll be fine!

(And even if some have no experience with dead humans, they know the dead are those that don't move - or too torn apart to be alive.)
Judging by that criteria, sleeping people should be very afraid of being buried alive :)

Speaking of which, Slashdot's ads suck hard.
sourceforge is still a festering bloat of ads.
I guess that's why they didn't sell out to Microsoft (yet). Have you considered that?
Someone else already pointed out flaws in my assumptions, it's okay :)
By selling themselves to Microsoft :)
Clearly I know nothing about bees :)
Thank you, I seem to have overlooked a lot of factors.

It wouldn't, however it would realize it's not a dead person.
Interesting, here it was never about the cost. For short distances it clearly costs more, for longer distances it costs the same.

Why "outside of the US"? Does "inside of the US" get a pass? If so, why?

They just did the needful...
Just inferring from your assuming that a word is a constant rather than a variable's value :)
You must be a developer.
I don't think there's ONE European country where the majority of families live together for more than one generation. India, on the other hand...
