A kitchen device that can only be used for one purpose is a waste of space.
Except for espresso.
This is going to go well.
Common Core appears to have become controversial primarily because the conservative media told us it is. Apparently they were hoping that the new standard would also find a way to further reduce teachers' salaries and career opportunities, and as it did not do that it needed to be destroyed at all cost.
It's more than that. The Conservative establishment has a vested interest in promoting ignorance -- creationism, global warming denial, abstinence-only sex education, poor nutrition, failed economic ideas, American exceptionalism, whitewashing of slavery and genocide, Christian dogma, the list is long. This is referred to as "local control": whatever whackjob ideas are predominant in your backward little community take precedence over what's being taught by all of those commie liberal college professors. The sad thing is that the teachers' unions are perfectly happy to jump into a disastrous alliance with these insane ideologues out of naked self-interest and terror that a few of them might finally be outed for, you know, doing a bad job. And children suffer.
My dog arrives safely at his destination and won't become a 50lb projectile that could kill both of us in an accident.
You can also get nice harnesses that clip in like a seatbelt and keep the dog from being a projectile. And he can still stick his head out the window.
Netflix is broken, not the browser. If Netflix insists on using something that cannot be implemented in a safe and reasonable way by the Mozilla Foundation, then it is only fair that Netflix should solve this themselves.
I'm sure they'll get right on that.
Unlike all those GNU fans who, who seem to complain the fact that Firefox actually needs a VGA display to work.
I for one can't wait until Lynx includes an ASCII-art Netflix plugin. Pretty please?
That's right, because you wouldn't want anybody to be able to watch Netflix on your browser. Somebody might want to use it. I mean, what would be next: users wanting http: support?
And in an accident like that where the doors are jammed shut due to damage, how exactly are the passengers supposed to extricate themselves from the wrecked vehicle?
Not having your head smushed like a watermelon in the first place would be a good start, IMO.
Cars seems to get by well structurally with windows already anyway, why bother redesigning them?
Really? Imagine how much safer a car with a windowless unibody passenger compartment would be.
The passengers in a plane do not need windows but clearly because planes have windows at considerable cost to design properly (remember the Dehavilland Comet?) there's clearly a want for them to be there.
Windowless planes are coming. And they will be awesome.
"Water? You mean like from the toilet?"
... most of the comments here scare the sh-t out of me.
No shit.
In a purely operational sense, it actually makes sense to support the MGTOW movement, since these people are at least giving up women altogether, instead of continuing to inflict themselves on them. Let the basement-bound wretches have their little fantasy of actually being dashing fighter pilots. As long as it keeps them in the basement, it's worth it.
the workplace overtly discriminates against men
Right. By paying them more, for example. Or by giving them promotions ahead of women. Or denying women even remotely adequate maternity leave.
The Big Bang didn't happen at a single point.
Well, actually we don't know that. That's an extrapolation based on math which breaks down if you get too close to the moment of the big bang. (If 'moment' is even the right word.)
No, we do know that, from the Cosmic Microwave Background. The early universe has been directly observed to be extremely homogeneous.
