Uber/Lyft are a tiny fraction of the vehicles on the pavement in NYC. Unlike traditional taxis, however, you can get one to stop for you without having to jump in front of it on the street, the driver doesn't pretend he doesn't know how to get where you need to go, the seats aren't sticky, and the car doesn't smell like vomit.
This is protectionism for the antiquated taxi industry, nothing more nothing less.
FWIW, part of the suicide difference is that women are less likely than men to use *lethal* methods. The ratio of *attempts* is I think much different than that of deaths.
With the complexities of modern life, MRC $50 or even $100 is noise floor for a lot of people. The cost -- in more than $ -- of migrating to a different, possibly less durable phone can easily outweigh the cost of a more-expensive model.
Not necessarily true. Don't discount those of us who benefit from integration with family computers, phones, and other devices without devoting hours and hours to dicking around with whatever Android fork a given cheap / frangible phone happens to come with.
Howâ(TM)s about we incent the big companies to stop their anachronistic policies of requiring employees to live in the silly valley and other tech ghettos?
o Any subsidies -- which vary from zero to inadequate -- often aren't enough to cover the delta for real SpEd o There is often nothing that forces the school to use that money for SpEd. It is not uncommon for it to go elsewhere, say to subsidize football or inflated admin salaries.
Curious. I miss half.com; absorbing it into eBay just isn't the same - did they keep a way to combine shipping?
One thing I've occasionally seen in the past is that sometimes an item will be highly priced because it is out of print, or had had an updated release. Eg. I sold my LD of Silent Running for a healthy profit just after the movie was released on DVD; the market yet not yet caught up with the new release.
Everyone has ridiculous *list* pricing. Anyone buying Cisco gear in quantity is going to get a healthy discount from list. I used to work for a Cisco partner, who got 40-60% off.

After all, look at where Ivanka's stuff and MAGA hats are made. Yet somehow they aren't affected by the insane tariffs. Funny how that works.
Seattle Public Schools has two lawyers dedicated to âoedue processâ. This costs them less than complying even with the modest legal requirements.
Yet thereâ(TM)s money for football stadiums.
Truly the use of "your" needs to be called out.

You'll contrive just about anything to justify your racism, won't you, AC?

I see what you did there :D

Time is money.
Happy wife => happy life.

Cyrpto-libertarian elitism.

Problems with this include:

o There is often nothing that forces the school to use that money for SpEd. It is not uncommon for it to go elsewhere, say to subsidize football or inflated admin salaries.
I've seen a Modern Marvels or similar show that IIRC said that the people who load/unload container ships with those overhead cranes do pretty well.
What AC said. I've arguments with drunks about this in the past, but this is true as those terms are used in the US.
Are YOU aware that this distortion was promulgated by the nutjob Weston A. Price people, who also advising feeding babies raw liver?
Nutmeg -- and carrots! -- contain the toxin myristicin
*WATER* can even cause death.
However with the above (unlike bovine lactation) almost nobody ever consumes the extreme quantities needed for any effect.
Been going on for a long time in lots of industries, cf. the 1948 Tucker.
Careful of that "broadband" term, it's widely misused.
That said, were those dozens of options distinct, or were a bunch of them channels for others?

If you think you're the one who decides what others are offended by ... then you should lay off the orange spray tan.
"Florida". "Laws". Not so much.

... so long as you don't mind waiting 6 weeks for an RMA when your Ubiquiti unit fails. Never again.
And what's a "necessary" port?
Half of this litany show a desire to lug around a 10 lb device vs a light/thin *laptop*.
The removal of Magsafe still puzzles me, though.
Yes, lots of people do, those who wish to spend more time listening to music than dicking with random tools.
Did the rioters have predator drones and fighter/bomber jets? An "invasion" would, and handguns aren't going to deter such.
