Ikea has been phasing out hex screws.

why would anyone act stupid on a casual Internet forum?

Being away from home many evenings per week and having a huge student debt in post 2007-2008, which you can't pay off quickly with your ridiculous low cost carrier salary, it should not be considered "disturbed" to wait until one earns more and has concrete personal plans before moving out.

Had I been more mature when I was 18, I would have stayed with my parents. I could have paid my apartment in cash and eaten healthy meals.

It's a goat / cabbage / wolf problem.
Terrorist can not be left alone in cockpit with pilot (terrorism)
Flight attendant can not be left alone in cockpit with pilot (sex)

Which remaining scientist still use the imperial weight system ?

Didn't the pre-9/11 style cockpit door somewhat block the U-93 passengers and crew from accessing the cockpit? How did that result deciding to have in the cockpit doors reinforced?

The joke IS not on me: I am well aware of pumped storage stations; there is one in my country too.

Now, they only need to install electric pumps for when it's not raining, and they're 100% renewable forever!

Just for my information, suppose you sell your house with a profit, then buy another house in the same country, do you still have to pay for capital gains ?

It's not "the establishment does not like competition". Nobody likes competition. However it is actually illegal for your competitor to not abide to rules you need to abide to.

The correct way is that the market should integrate the actual, legal innovations of Uber (i.e. an app that matches drivers and riders), which should come easier if Uber is driven out of business by law enforcement.

Once law abiding taxi businesses have integrated these innovations, information asymmetry between dispatcher, driver, and rider -which is ultimately what taxi businesses are about- should plummet, and you'll end up paying something X between Uber price U and taxi price T (UXT), T-X being the value of the current information asymmetry, X-U being the money Uber currently externalizes to (i.e. steals from) driver and society.

Makes me wonder: in countries where prostitution and proxenetism are legal (Germany, Switzerland...), did anyone think of making a Uber for sex ?

Do you really think we could afford WWI or WWII ? This doesn't mean they didn't happen. War is the number one justification for spending money countries don't have.
