And then you're still left with a massive ton of back-end bloat and half-assed compatibility to try and force you to keep using unity. Running Xubuntu doesn't feel like running XFCE, it feels like you're running unity with XFCE maximized on top of it trying to control unity underneath and never really quite working right. I used to be able to go from dead cold to typing notes in 13 seconds flat, now it takes a good minute or more just to start XFCE.
Arch does that for me without me needing to do a single thing. I don't know what version you're using but for the last two years I haven't had a problem with it.
I think a bigger problem is that the "Game made me lose" crowded out the "I lost to the game" mindset and people are just too goddamn thick to enjoy a game that *hard*.
They're making incredibly unpopular design changes without giving people any real option to do things their own way and driving their own userbase away. Unity and other ass backwardsness pissed me off SO MUCH that I learned to use Arch Linux just to get away from it.
Lets see... the passenger in a parked vehicle gets life threatening third degree burns requiring multiple surgeries and skin transplants to survive because a corporation knowingly and deliberately set the machine obscenely high against all instructions and had been causing injuries left and right.
Actually, you're right, the Hot Coffee case is a great example.... just not in the direction you were hoping. You've just proven exactly why we need stronger and more personal liability for corporations and their executives. Even the largest fines in history are a mere fraction of the fined corporation's profits. That's not a penalty, that's an acceptable cost of doing business.
Texas needs to start executing corporations like they do people.
You realise you're being a hypocrite, right? That argument, just like it's twin the "entitlement" argument, can be even more readily applied to corporations and especially the executives who knowingly do something reckless and/or illegal and then start saying "It's not my fault because". You're applying one set of rules to the peasants and another to the lords.
IC diamond is pretty good goop, I was one of the original test subjects back when it was first piloted on OCF. It's definitely thicker than most people are used to though.
If you mix something less acidic with something more acidic the total resulting solution will be *less* acidic due to dilution. Your stomach however will produce some more acid in *extremely* short order to regulate it's pH so you don't... yknow... DIE.
We're not talking about university, we're talking about K-12, and yes my highschool actually bragged about how students should expect three hours of homework per class *per night*. That's why it's so absurd.
the Mickey Mouse Protection Act made copyright last effectively forever, and every time we finally get near a public domain deadline they buy another extension.
The same reason you don't teach a third grader college level calculus, like it or not people need some form of progression to get to graduate level performance. There are honors programs at most universities where you can voluntarily do a thesis as an undergraduate though.
Bus showed up at 5 depending on traffic and where in the route you were, class started around 6 and went until 2/3, bus got you home anywhere from 3:30-4, and the syllabus specifically stated 3 hours of homework, per class, PER NIGHT.
Smart kids found ways to game the system until they could get to college and hold a 4.0, publish a thesis before even getting to grad school, and get into the grad program of their choosing.
Dumb kids came up with outside arbitrary assumptions to "disprove" something and posted AC so they wouldn't have to deal with the karma hit of their stupidity catching up to them.
Again that is not rote. What you're describing is a failure of teaching until the kids finally figure out how multiplication works on their own, it's learning just not very efficiently. Rote would be kids never learning what multiplication is and how it works, leaving them utterly unable to multiply anything other than the EXACT thing they had memorized by rote.
And as I've said elsewhere in the comments: Per-pupil spending does not actually mean it goes TO THE STUDENTS. A STAGGERING quantity of all our spending is eaten up by school board and administrator salaries with precious little actually getting to the teachers and students. Actually it makes a perfect model for our entire economy right now.
you forget the universal pet project of administrators everywhere: the Football Team. At my school we didn't even have basic necessities for music or cooking classes but you can be damn sure the football team and cheerleaders got new uniforms every single year.
And don't forget those per-student figures aren't actually going to the student's education, an enormous portion is likely diverted straight to school board members' and administrators' pockets, and the football program.

The human eye can see near IR perfectly well, there's plenty of instructions online for safely blocking out everything else.
Same direction as always.

So wouldn't that make the whole time dilation/relativistic travel thing a non-issue by default?
they're going after him because he shut down the corporation in an attempt to funnel money away from the recall.
As explained elsewhere the guy tried to dodge by killing off the company, so now they're going straight for him.
Mr. Grenade is *never* your friend. He's just a *quiet* angry drunk until you pull the pin, after that he starts getting belligerent.
which is reasonably foreseeable. The average person is not going to understand why a magnet is dangerous for your innards until you explain it.
