  1. These engines are manufactured a way not to propel debris towards the body.

    You got stuff spinning round like really fast. If a bit breaks off it's going to go where the fuck it wants to.

  2. Next time you see a long word, go upstairs and ask your mom what it means.

  3. I suppose if they'd said "unmaintained" instead of "obsolete" it would have been a tautology. Perhaps "unpopular"?

  4. Are you sure? CentOS 6.9 has 2.6.x, and I doubt they change anything that major.

    Profit is maximized at the market price.

    If I could sell the same volume at twice the market price I wouldn't make more money? Of course, if I'm a big enough seller then my price *is* the market price, or a big influence on it.

    If your prices are lower than market price, your sales are increased but the lower profit per item results in a net profit decrease.

    Not necessarily. It depends mainly on the elasticity. If dropping the price by 5% means you shift 10% more units you're ahead.

  8. Modern economics argues that the price is the uniform price of the convergence of supply and demand.

    If that's the case then modern economics argues that yield management pricing and market segmentation don't exist.

    Either it's wrong or you are.

    It's well known that Europeans have less genetic variation than Africans, possibly due to a population bottleneck during the ice age, so I don't see why the suggestion is absurd.

    Disruptors can't blend into the crowd or do violent stuff and then run away because the actual protestors are all sitting down. There is no crowd to blend into.

    One, "crowd" doesn't imply standing up. Two, what's to stop cops or their lackeys posing as protesters and start doing shit?
