Hm. Most of the STEM graduates I know are fascinating peoplw, creative problem solvers and artists in their media, be it metals, glass, electronics, plastics, whatever.
Most of the liberal arts majors I know are self absorbed know-it-alls, unable to look past their own interests.
If battery life is measured in charge cycles, then a 1000-cycle battery can most optimistically last 3-4 years. In practice most have trouble getting past 30 months without being significantly degraded, and that downward spiral of battery life makes the last 3 months miserable. Snap-on external batteries or Qi chargers to give more and more convenient recharging opportunities don;t offer much of an enhanced experience. Battery life cycle duration is the real limiting factor, and the trend to non-removable batteries ensures the industry has a defined and predictable replacement cycle, hence a predictable replacement market.
Profits. Enabling users to extend the life of their insanely expensive toys isn't as profitable as relying on Moore's Law to make the replacement to so so attractive.
I'm allergic to pet dander, and therefore most any animal's dander. I had a cat for most of my adult life, and tolerated the reaction until it became unimportant to me. I've had dogs for less time, but still. And for some times I suppressed my allergic reactions with sedating antihistamines, tobacco, then marginally effective non-sedating antihistamines, ophthalmic antihistamines, and now caving in and using a nasal coritcosteroid because the eye drops are just too damned expensive. Even the generic.
Not washing your hands after taking a piss is good practice, to quote a Marine, 'because I was taught to not piss on my hands'.
Just remember, seriously, you don't wash up leaving the bathroom because you think you're dirty, but to assure others that you will not ask them to trust that.
If obsession on artificial cleanliness, avoidance of anything deemed 'dirty', and/or protecting your children from anything is bad, then yes.
Of course the US has just as many weird obsessions as any culture, but we have the resources and wealth to obsess over these and implement practices that have unintended consequences. So we get weird allergies, for instance.
We are also a litigious society, ready to sue for any cause, and courts that are increasingly willing to sit in judgment of issues they should not, and make decisions based not on law, or even 'science', but on their individual senses of justice, as in 'what I want the world to be like'.
I'm not a member, nor do I identify with, anything alt-right. Reacting to comments with the limited vocabulary of the Left leaves you accusing everyone so dishes with you of being a fascist. That's stupid.
"Fascism does indeed have a few economic ideas in it, that's only a very small part of what fascism actually is"
"“If any man's money can be taken by a so-called government, without his own personal consent, all his other rights are taken with it; for with his money the government can, and will, hire soldiers to stand over him, compel him to submit to its arbitrary will, and kill him if he resists.” - Lysander Spooner
I'm not a fanboi of Spooner, but he has it right fairly often, such as in this instance. Control of industry and finance is control. Actual, absolute control. How that control is achieved and exercised is interesting, but that control is not a 'small part' of anything.
Socialism is an economic model, enforced by violence.
Men with guns.
Please try to be consistent. Only a 'free market' could be considered a purely economic model, and then only if the State retrains itself and leaves the market alone. Fascism, Socialism, etc all rely on the State to force conditions.
As if you have a choice. The Alt-Left opens your wallet for you. And your children are theirs, your media, your employer, your barista, everyone you interact with all the time, everywhere, that doesn't think for themselves.
SmartCars were not intended for the freeway, and are not safe there. They are incapable of protecting their contents in any crash at highway speed. Survival would be by chance.
I'm not sure my 2004 Impala 9C1 would do well at Nürburgring either, but it's got a FCO of 124MPH. And I would have to let up on the pedla for the same reason - overheat.
I'm thinking not many production cars could run a max speed lap, save for some econoboxen that have an anemic 4 banger for a speed limiter. Prius? Full out?
When I'm looking for advice on some product or whatever, I look at a few lists. It's fairly common to find several list sites with the same (identical verbatim) reviews and order for the products on any number of lists, and I discount these both because they are not unique and because the reviews are not unique, and often actually boilerplate.
It's hard to judge reputation, but some sites have earned my interest. Some are pure advertising, and probably paid.
Thinking this through in unrealistic, amateur scientific method...
Labrador is so tough that that Bear guy was pulled out while filming an episode because the temperature swing melted the fiord's ice and the chopper had no safe place to be. So, if Labrador was to be 14 degrees warmer, well;
- Ice maybe from November to March?
- Summers around 90F? Hmm, interesting.
-Permafrost/tundra gone. Massive insect population growth. The midges and whatnot are already unbearable, so this would be salt in the wound that is the black fly.
- Animal migrations, especially northern deer and a bunch of predators.
- Migratory birds would be moving a bit more north and staying longer.
- The children of everyone I knew up there would be doing home repairs, as the foundations would sink into the goo.
- Most of the roads would suffer. Good.
- The hydro projects would probably see a lot of melt for a few decades, and then maybe not so much.
But Earth uninhabitable? New reasons to explore electrical generation to support A/C and enhanced hot weather agriculture. We are cleverer than the socialists/alarmists think.

But that's just my experience.
Smartphone OS support for 10 years is pointless.

Bad things, my friends, bad things to be avoided.
There is some hope for the Fourth and Fifth Amendments!
Not that Apple actually intended this. I would not be surprised if this feature goes away. Soon.
Such as faulty/counterfeit batteries used in Galaxy Note 4s during repair.
Missing the point. Your money is how you survive. Take it, you are diminished.
That all sure subject to rule, everywhere, didn't make that rule any less, for sure...
Not today. They've gone to the Dark Web...
Even the possibly mythical 'free market'?

I cruise at -1 just to keep an eye out for the crazies^H^H^H^H^H^H^H ACs and bottom dwellers. It's painful sometimes.

Like The Daily Stormer', right?

Excellent. Arbitrary decisions and criteria to be expected.
Dag nab it, I was hoping to move my site to a WordPress platform. Pathetic. I'm stuck.

Trucks already convoy.
No worse than the 3-series missiles being randomly driven by college pukes.
Their they're isn't there. So there.
