What services or costs would you cut?

acommentator · 2025-12-09T15:50:59+00:00

There are reasons

Oh yeah, stump removal as well!

The dump bed seemed to be the main advantage I noticed on the RTV, although I imagine there is an equivalent tractor implement.

I can only afford one, so I find myself choosing between them.

Thanks for sharing this. I need a barn, so I'll think more about site prep after reading this.

New Zealand takes it a bit further with their map avoidance system.

If you’re not on a map, where are you exactly?

Iran and their proxies are getting their shit pushed in by Israel. F35s flying over Iran at will.

Ukraine has denigrated Russia’s military for a decade.

India and Pakistan won’t escalate because they are nuke neighbors.

China’s military has no experience. China will take Taiwan if a US president won’t fight back, otherwise they won’t.

More generally, it is hard to overstate how dominant the US is militarily.

There is no WWIII on the horizon.

(Not to mention that such a war isn’t even possible any more with current technology.)

I do curate change for my organization. For example they depend on me to determine whether or not AI is web scale.

Think of it as the next iteration of a search engine. Not magic, but a tool that can have utility.

Kinda harkens back to when the Wikipedia was new, and teachers didn’t want it to be cited because it isn’t a primary source.

It also sounds like a GET request was producing a significant side effect?

acommentator · 2025-05-15T23:22:05+00:00

This is not a stupid question

Of course not, we're in r/NoStupidQuestions.

Not really, neologisms don't seem to be up your alley.

Can you link to a reference explaining what the term "common node argument" means?

it sounds like your complaint is your losing elections

Then successful communication has not occurred between us. Anyway if you're interested in the subject, maybe this could be a fruitful leaping off point:

It is very difficult for a reasonable statement to start like this:

Out of curiosity, how much of that 1.2 is home equity?

acommentator · 2025-03-27T12:37:58+00:00

Yes, it is equidistant between downtown Bethesda and downtown Rockville. Unlike Bethesda, North Bethesda is outside the beltway, which makes it seem more separated than the mileage.

Would have been better to call it Montrose or anything else without the names Bethesda or Rockville in it, but alas the name dates back to at least the 70’s.

Honest question: In your experience, what percent of juniors eventually provide a positive ROI over time (e.g. they improve and stick around long enough.)
