Women like sex too. Some women like sex even more than the average man does. Censoring sex does not benefit women. Censoring sex implies that sex is bad and shames the women who like sex.
You're not wrong. Frankly, as a Canadian, I'm sick of being told I should feel guilty about our Alberta having one of the most well-run oil industries in the world while Saudi Arabia shits on human rights and Venezuela's citizens live in universal suffrage.
If only it was possible to engineer a product using readily available parts...
I can't agree with this more. I'm not an engineer; I'm just a DIY guy who needs to deal with their choices when doing repairs to my car or dishwasher or computer. To me, the amount of "custom" screws, nuts, and connectors in products is insane. The increased cost of spec'ing a unique, custom screw can't be trivial, especially when there's 100 existing, ready-made variants that would meet the need.
High energy consumption = people doing stuff. Working, making, playing, living.
Low energy consumption = people living like misers, feeling guilty about using a light bulb or - worse - thinking they're acting "for the common good" by sitting idle in the dark.
I want a civilization where there's energy to waste, with everyone free to maximize their lives. Not some guilt-ridden depression where maximum work & play is shamed.
Half rations for full price, let the people suffer and like it while making them sing anthems about "for the common good." It's always worked before, right?
> but ask yourself this: When in the entire history of human civilization has personal charity been enough to solve systemic problems in a society?
If I consider the reverse of your question - "When... has *government* been enough to solve systemic problems in a society?" - I also get 0.
However, when I ask myself, "When... has government been enough to *cause* systemic problems in a society?", I get a list as long as my leg, including genocides, famines, and world wars.
I think I'll stay with personal responsibility as the best way to a better world.
Personally, I find "small talk" useful like a modems use handshaking. I need to hear the other person's voice, their volume, their pitch, pacing and accent. We establish a volume and speed for talking before moving on. Small talk is when I can hear these things and get accustomed to how they speak before engaging in the real conversation. It usually only takes seconds and the benefit is that we're each ready to listen and won't need to ask the other to repeat themselves.
Explain to me why all appliances don't have self-setting clocks.
Radio time signals have been around for decades. Yet, almost every appliance with a clock needs to be manually set and adjusted. Would "self-setting clock" not be a prized marketing feature? Is it expensive or difficult to add time signal compatibility? Why is the year 2018 and I still need to manually adjust the clock on my microwave oven?
Disappointing that there did not seem to be any categories for photography software, such as image catalogue management or editing. There was a "Video Authoring Application" category, however.
What if you supported Blizzard by paying for both "Wings of Liberty" and "Heart of the Swarm"? You get nothing?

I tried Arch. I found the communiity hostile and toxic. Almost every question asked on the forums seemed to draw at least one accusation of being a freeloader - usually from the rule-lawyer-happy admins.
I've never regretted leaving Arch.
What is wrong with the world that yet-another-chat-app gets $73M to burn across 50 people but real small businesses doing real work with real things can barely get approved for a credit card?
was a Nazi and you can't get more right-wing than that.
I want to know why history thinks that Nazi Germany was "right wing." Totalitarian control, nationalization of industry, subordination of personal interests to the state, xenophobia, starting wars; the National Socialist German Workers' Party of the '30s and '40s was anti-freedom, anti-individual, anti-capitalism and as distant from right-wing values as I can imagine.
I am very surprised at this news as well. I have used StartCom for years after first reading recommendations for them right here on SD. I was impressed with StartCom's thoroughness; they required uploads of bank or bill statement headers to show that my business was real & recognized, personal ID documents, photos, and they followed-up with a phone call to confirm that I was who I said I was. I felt they took their role as a trust verification entity seriously. I happily paid them every year.
I am thankful that SD has posted this news. I am not impressed that StartCom did not inform their customers about this sale.
. It was as if the agent thought that one of us would raise his/her hand and say "I was born outside of the US and am trying to sneak in to commit massive acts of terrorism - oops, you caught me!"
That's exactly what they were doing. They purposely asked an unusual question that you wouldn't have a rehearsed answer for. People trying to hide facts often answer questions from authority with positive answers, wanting to show co-operation. Had a person truly been born outside of the USA, that would not have necessarily been bad; you don't have to be born in the USA to be a US citizen. But by phrasing the question the way they did, the agent made it sound like a positive, rewarding thing to reveal.
She was giving answers to questions that were not being asked.
Don't do this. They'll suspect that you're trying to fluff your answers with distracting information.
Roll down all windows when you enter the inspection area. Especially if you have passengers.
Only answer questions that are directed to you. Most questions will be asked to the driver of the car. But when they ask the passenger directly for what citizenship they are or in what country they were born (not always the same answer) don't attempt to answer for them.
Millennials are the first generation in nearly a century to be economically worse off than their parents. Unlike the great depression that affected most people, this time the boomers have managed to largely protect themselves. It's no wonder there is a feeling of resentment.
No; Generation X was the first generation to face worse economic prospects than their parents.

>>> Citing "the rise of the #MeToo movement" and a concern of "legal and social action" in the USA ...
Because no woman, anywhere in the USA, also enjoys nudity and sex. /s
when country X is polluting too!

YT used to have a button-feature to write a private message to the account owner. YT removed this feature many months ago.

Do you have a job? I greatly doubt that what you expect to be paid is just the break-even cost of what it takes to do your work.

>> CaseLabs is likely referring to the growing number of tariffs being enforced on Chinese imports
The growing US tariffs on Canadian products, including steel, imposed on May 31. Not China.

I have been successfully playing SC II using PlayOnLinux with 32 bit Wine 1.9.21 (staging). Required a lot of DLL overrides, however.
