  • If an upvote is an "I like this" button, then it's bad UX design to expect people to not use the downvote as an "I don't like this button." If there needs to be an "off topic" button then it shouldn't be styled and placed to look like the exact opposite of the "I like this" button.

  • Frozen food is processed way closer to where it's grown as opposed to the produce that might be shipped across hemispheres before you get it. So frozen stuff tends to be more consistent in quality.

  • Even just getting above the boiling temp of liquid nitrogen is a really big deal. Liquid helium is something we will eventually run out of and is largely dependent on fossil fuel extraction to be collected. Helium can't be recaptured after it escapes an open loop cooling system.

    LN2 is so much cheaper to run and it's sustainable. We'll never run out of Nitrogen so long as there's power to cool it. LN2 is cheaper than craft beer.

  • I'll agree on not using antibacterial soap all the time. There's plenty of soaps that aren't antibacterial but still help remove contaminants. People should definitely at least wash their hands with hot water. It's one thing to harbor trace amounts of bacteria, but no one should be spreading urine or fecal matter to every surface they touch.

  • Except that credit scores have 0 interest in whether they're fair to the person being scored. They are profitability scores for potential lenders to evaluate doing business with someone. To that end, a lender won't care if you had a legitimate grievance against the landlord. Withholding rent even through escrow for lease violations is still likely to be viewed as problematic behavior and they wouldn't want to risk you doing the same to them.

  • The threat of lawsuit is usually enough to get an employment offer rescinded. It's rare for a company to want to take on a legal defense just to hire someone new. Even though they weren't actually legally binding, non-competes still limited options for a lot of people.

    Overall I agree with you that this isn't as big of a deal as people make it sound, but it's easy underestimate their influence if only looking at the result of cases that go to trial. In many situations, the damage is done well before a case can go to trial.
