The one on the right looks practical for a parent with two kids. The one on the left looks expensive.
What, you buy cars purely on aesthetics?

Ok, no. I just realised my own misinterpretation.
Damnit.
Apologies, I blame someone else.
No.
If you walk one mile south then you walk one mile south, not half a mile south then half a mile north.
Had the wording been, "You start walking south and continue for one mile" then I would agree with you, but it does not.

You may find the code used to check prices here; it is only known to work for the first 31 years (the limits of a signed long on my architecture).
This is slashdot, we can do (2^n)-1 in our heads.
If you're a mile north of the South Pole, the '1 mile west' description ceases to be possible.
If you're less than a mile north of the South Pole, the 'walk 1 mile south' description ceases to be possible.
For the scenario in the riddle, you're sure as shit nowhere near the fucking South Pole.
No, they're lazily using a socially defined label.
You even want to disagree with me, find me someone that's white. Completely white. No pink.
You obviously do not understand the past, present, and future needs for affirmative action.
I don't either. Fuck you and your intentional racism.
I'd rather be a bleeding heart cunt than have your outlook on life.
I don't think there are many rational people who could draw parallels between the soft-nap that comes with lethal injection and the serial beheading happening at the hands of ISIS.
No, the beheading is far quicker and far less painful to the executed person. It also requires the executioner to acknowledge the gravity of the act, unlike pressing a button from out of sight.
I'd rather be beheaded than subjected to the torture-to-death approach of the US execution industry.
Object density and complexity.
No, my grandfather would've congratulated me on being the first member of my extended family to go to university, on getting a safe secure job, on earning a good living.
He was in the army, drove a bus, worked on the production line in a factory. He didn't recommend any of that to me.
My grandmother worked elbow-deep in a restaurant cooking food for 80 people at a time. She could punch out a donkey. She lived long enough to see how my sister and I turned out, and never criticised either of us for taking well paid office jobs.
You're just making shit up and it makes you look stupid.
The problem is that your analogy sucks donkeys. To extend it nearer to the reality, feminists are demanding the 2' stools for women only, while ignoring all the 4' tall men that work in sewers.
Right now everybody gets a ladder. Women choose not to stand on theirs, and instead enter the 3' tall liberal fucking arts career from which they bitch about the inherent sexism stopping women standing on their ladder.
The ladders already exist. It's not sexism that women choose not to stand on them. It is sexism that feminists are demanding ladders only for women.
Yeah, fair point. All those brainwashed fresh faced computer science graduates charging with fixed bayonets at the artillery of the "40 years of mainframe development worked for me" brigade and dying needlessly on the barbed wire of function point analysis, with the few that see the light and turn back being executed by a silver bullet.
Such a waste, a terrible waste. Decades of software engineering advances destroyed in one single statement of hope in a better world.
Hmm. Sales want instant change because it earns them a bonus. Management don't want to wait three years to see benefits because they're measured by the quarter.
Both are very happy to communicate and collaborate, especially when the feedback loops help them see tangible swift outcomes.
I'm not sure how you interpret that as strict waterfall.
