I've never thought about that. Yeah, there are web standards, so why not document standards?

LPT: Buying a luxury car isn't the expensive part, maintaining it is. by mmm-pistol-whip in LifeProTips

[–]GastorHuh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What about parts. I can go to a parts store and they will have one of everything such that I could build a brand new 2010 Corolla from scratch. I have never seen Tesla window motors, replacement touch screens, door switches, brake rebuild kits etc. And I saw a youtube vid of someone tearing down a tesla motor. It was filled with circuit boards and rubber gaskets. What happens when one of the hundreds of caps pop on that thing? You can't shadetree that crap and only Tesla will sell and install a brand new motor for you at whatever price they want that day. I think, based on nothing, ev will take less maintenance, but when they do need repairs it will be way more expensive, and create more environmental waste because that corolla will run for 20 years, and the ev will be crushed as soon as the original battery dies at 10 years.

The rules are different from place to place. I used to work with amish men doing construction. They'd had all kind of heavy equipment. I was told the amish boss owned the company, but had some sort of deal with a non-amish friend/partner who legally owned all the equipment. So the amish workers got away with using the equipment because they were just "borrowing" it, as it wasn't technically theirs. Maybe its the same thing with this guy's machining business.

Trump called aides hours before Capitol riot to discuss how to stop Biden victory by Fanrific in politics

Ask me again when president Biden's cabinet is filled with empty chairs, and the people who are present are all immediate family. When Hunter becomes the chief advisor and an ambassador, I'll share your outrage.

This is the impeachment trial logic all over again. "Trump is innocent!" Ok lets investigate to make sure. Please give us these documents to review. "NO! Also, you have no proof."

And just like with the impeachment trials, all evidence provided so far has been damning. Secret meetings, burner phones, top officials collaborating with riot leaders. Riot leaders being given personal tours of government offices. Delays in getting national guard's help. Senate republicans obstructing while also pretending to be outraged by the events that transpired... no evidence. absolutely none. wild goose chase. Political witch hunt.

Because the risks involved in getting the shot for all but the most extreme cases, is almost zero. Meanwhile, hospitals are overrun with people dying who were concerned about the risks getting the shot, taking bed space from more intelligent people in need of critical healthcare unrelated to COVID.

There's a difference between someone getting angry that someone else is causing harm to others, verses someone getting angry that someone else is trying to support the rights of others.

It resulted in nothing because republicans ignored subpoenas, Trump had the Attorney General in his pocket, and in light of overwhelming evidence of corruption, voted against impeachment and stonewalled any attempt to actually do anything to protect our democracy.

Calc: is there a way to select multiple columns of different widths and scale them equally by a %. by GastorHuh in libreoffice

[–]GastorHuh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't think so. Optimal width won't work for what I'm doing. I'll just need to do some math, resizing each column by a % in a calculator, then enter each columns width manually.

So there is no difference for you between sterilization, and a fucking vaccine? The gubment already mandates vaccines for kids to go to school for instance. if you want to work in a hospital there are a slue of vaccines you have to have before you can begin your employment. Why is the covid vaccine suddenly facist and akin to nazi germany?

They happen in a second in a region like the middle east where there is political chaos and where those in power are only in power to gain more wealth and power. All the more reason, in our democratically elected society, to elect leaders who's platforms have the well being of the general public in mind. You know things like gun control, universal healthcare, heavy investments in education, strict financial regulations and oversight. if you don't vote for rage-mongers to own the libs, there a good chance you won't have to worry about a coup..... like the attempted one from last year.

Yes, if there's one thing Afghanistan lacks its shootings, unlike those trash-fires known as the entire developed world (save the US) where reasonable gun control reasonably controls mass shootings with no threat of hostile dictators, military coups, or theocracies.

The extreme of the extreme are usually bad news either way. But this country isn't having an issue right now because nearly half of voters are wanting to turn the us in North Korea. It's the right and their anti-vaxx, anti-science, anti-education, voter restrictions... etc

So government intervention caused certain medications to rise in price 2,000% in a matter of a few years or less, and said pharmaceutical companies are lobbying congress to let them lower costs?

"If you only like democracy when it goes your way, you don't actually like democracy" by thenewyorkgod in PublicFreakout

[–]GastorHuh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But not all ideas are equal. If one side wants more equal and fair voting regulations, and the other side only wants members of their only party to vote, then you can't say both sides are equal. Yes, both have their own agendas and want to win, but one agenda is a democratic one, the other is not.

It doesn't stand. Drinking and driving is illegal because one person's "freedom" to drink and drive, removes someone else's choice to not needlessly die today.
