  • So it's more like a tax for not having insurance then.

  • Economics is a science... to understand the past. But to foresee the future...

  • Hasn't anyone ever gone to a flea market? When you start a negotiation you don't say the "fair" price. You start way below the price you are willing to pay and the seller starts way higher than the "fair" price. But the point is starting the negotiation and reaching a middle point that satisfies both parties enough to have a deal signed.

  • Why settle for one? In that case, squid skin and change color as you see fit.

  • I know (and then too) but that's not the point. It's "you are not selling this to me".

  • X is the one telling the number of X users. Do you really trust Melon to tell the truth?

  • I hated Windows from the day I saw the 3.1 floppies had no write tab (that tiny piece that allowed you to write the disk). My first though was "we've payed for this and they forbid us to write on them? Fuck MS". It was the last original Windows in any PC at home. And I used DRDOS, so even worse (Windows 3.11 had a "bug" that made it crash if it ran on DRDOS).

  • Too many times some shitty person that blamed gays for everything and wanted to rule against them ended up "by mistake" in some party with a dick in his ass.

    That doesn't mean there aren't actual bastards that hate anything they don't understand.

  • If that became a problem, every old panel could be changed by newer ones and the old ones could be installed in a desert until their EOL.

  • Hydroelectric plants, batteries, generation on site, wave power, geothermal, ... There are lots of ways to reduce the need of non renewable energy.

  • TIL that is better having 2.0625" and 2.125" than having 2.1" 😜

  • Oh, right, inches are not divided by a sane number😉

  • 2" / 3 = 0.666666666 Show me that point in you tape measure 😜

    And both cases can be fixed by just skewing a little the tape (19 mm -> 21 mm and 2" -> 2.1". Close to 20°)

  • In Stargate they did that but not with Christianity.

  • Or you can do a division and that's it.

  • I think it could make a nice sci-fi saga. Imagine the bible being only a "broken phone" version of space war propaganda.

  • Except there's an easy way to mark thirds: if you have a, let's say, 27 cm wide board you take the measuring by skewing a little the tape and measuring 30 cm. You mark 10 cm and 20 cm and there you have it: a third of the wide. You don't even need the precise measure. If you have something with proportional marks you just use it and you get a third no matter the width. It's like a center finder but with thirds (or fourths or...)

  • Before that the Zionists, not the "normal" Jews, where doing terrorist attacks on Palestine. Just like they do now. This shit comes from XIX century. And Zionists have always have the same relation with Judaism like AlQaeda with Muslims.
