Google maps never include fuel or rest or selfie stops, that would be ridiculous. Probably just some of the map data was incorrect and either caused a different route to be suggested or had wrong speed limits for example. Even if the limits were correct, they also don't assume you'd be speeding, which of course many are doing.
I realize you're probably not experienced with this, but they're usually called "pecs". The extra protein from soybeans finally allowed them to develop a bit beyond a flat plane.
A. Nobody wants to switch to UBI tomorrow, everyone is just trying to find out if it's actually workable.
B. The whole idea of UBI is that it doesn't flip the system on its head. You just give poor people money instead of food stamps and housing subsidies and unemployment checks and what not.
Another post explains how the current situation came to be (started as an employee benefit, then everyone dug in to protect the status quo). So historical reasons, much like how CDMA is still a thing and credit cards without chip&pin up until now. There are many reasons this hasn't changed, and your post highlights one example actually.
Many if not most European countries with universal healthcare ARE NOT actually single payer. It's a significant difference that I feel people miss and causes issues when people get fixated on it. Instead, health insurance is usually mandatory but you have some choices of companies and plans, the government usually pays for children and/or unemployed or olds. Hospitals and clinics can be privately owned or operated.
So as you can see this is much closer to what the US actually has/had with ACA. But then you have people coming in and demanding SINGLE PAYER as the only possible solution. And it's a fine system as well, but it's really too late for that, as it would be a massive change in the huge healthcare sector, so anyone with a stake in it would be understandably against big changes. From insurance companies to hospitals to doctors to even patients many of whom are actually fine with their plans. So instead it's stuck in this mess right now.
OTOH, the escalators are usually the bottleneck, because the various corridors and tunnels are usually much wider. So if you increase their throughput, you also increase the overall throughput of the system.
Yeah I have no doubt, I've started Quicksilver like five times in paper and audio form and while the setting and subject matter is fascinating, I just kept getting bogged down with the ton of infodumps, and I'm one of the people who enjoys his frequent masturbatory multi-page deep dives into Captain Crunch and what not. I need to give it another go with a clear head one day.
It's not a new book but I just picked it out at random from my backlog to read on vacation. It's way easier to get into than some other NS books (looking at you, Baroque Cycle), and has really great emotional ups and downs throughout the first 2/3rds of the book with what I thought was a pretty interesting and satisfying conclusion.
So much this. All the other browsers had to deal with these same changes to Google sites too. Why was it so much more painful to Microsoft? Well, I thought this piece from the article was pretty telling:
What are "all other browsers"? You mean all other Chromium clones?
As long as it's marked appropriately, it's good for everyone really. Destroying returned goods would be absolutely insane.from economic and environmental angles so it's a win win thing.
I don't mind buying refurbished stuff either if it's marked and priced accordingly. Amazon and other retailers of course should be making sure this is the case, but if you do get used stuff instead you can just return it again I suppose:)
The lottery is a horrible idea in general, it encourages "consulting" companies to try bring in as many as possible interchangeable people but then if you need a specifically skilled person, well good luck, your'e now competing with 10k applications from those body shops, where they don't care which specific ones do get through.
"You" are pulling other countries up though. Salaries in India are expected to grow by 10% next year. Reasonably competent tech talent costs roughly similar amount almost anywhere nowadays, crazy bubbles like SV excluded. Like you can't get a programmer for $100/month even if that's the typical salary in whatever 3rd world country.
And if you make labor costs flat across the world artificially, developing countries would no longer have any competitive advantage and would find it much more difficult to grow.
Here, we part company. The Tax changes are responsible for GDP growth and great unemployment numbers we have enjoyed over the last few months. The tax "cuts" have predictably caused in increase in tax revenue due to the increase in economic activity, upping employment, raising household incomes and otherwise causing the "poor" to have more money as more of them have jobs who where unemployed and raising the pay of those who already where working.
Sorry but this is absolute horseshit. You're presenting this as an obvious fact but there's absolutely no evidence that these tax changes had any positive impact on what you're claiming. I had some more comments typed up to your other points, but come on dude.
Trump is only president because the elections aren't democratic enough.
But nevertheless it's extremely concerning that 63 million people thought that a racist, sexist senile fraud of a "businessman" was the best person to lead the country.
Just head to deal with this. It's annoying but not a big deal, when I was buying tickets for my parents I just had to add a few bucks to choose 4 specific seats (for return flight). But I think they just do it for everyone, you get random seats unless you pay to select a specific one.
It's a bit unpleasant of course but generally worth it to be able to get a 4 hour flight for like $30.
OTOH, the Note 9 is by far the best phone I've ever had. The curved edges are a harmless gimmick and can be fully protected with a flip case if you really have to.
The reason it has two cameras is that you can't actually make a single good one fit in a phone. The regular phone camera is fixed at what, 30mm equivalent focal length? That's fine and I'm as big of a fan of prime lenses as the next guy, but there are things that you just can't do well with that focal length, like shoot a portrait or capture action further away.
With an SLR (or one of those fancy new mirrorless things) you just change the lens to a more appropriate one, but with a phone you're stuck of course with what's built-in. You could try one of those snap-on teleconverters but they're garbage of course, and a theoretical 100mp sensor might have enough details to crop in, but such a thing doesn't exist (and wouldn't help with other aspects). So unless somebody manages to fit a zoom lens in a phone, multiple cameras is the only way to increase the versatility.

I dunno, seems perfectly safe to me!

They just announced the 10 and 20 series cards will work with FreeSync monitors through the VESA VRR standard, so there's something.
This card... is not a great value, it's about what I paid for a 10700 a few years ago. It's going to be a bit faster certainly but eh.

Imagine your project made the front page of NYT. Is it good for the company? Y/N.
Pho is highly overrated anyway imo. Taiwanese beef noodles are infinitely better because they don't taste like meat-flavored water.
No sane person would've bought Oracle software in the first place, yet here we are...

Yea, they were effective at keeping the fascists at bay.
Oh no, I don't care about getting fascists to agree with me at all. I'm just stating what happened.

Now whether or not they'll actually have 6 cameras I don't know, that certainly seems excessive, but some Chinese phones already do have 3 cameras in the back.
It's bad because it's usually pushed by xenophobic morons such as yourself based on no evidence whatsoever.
