I attribute it more to a deal with the devil.

I started off at a traditional 4 year university, took out some loans and amassed roughly $15k in debt before I left that school after 2 years. I then got a part time job, finished my associates while still working and finished my undergrad degree at a 4 year university without taking on any additional debt. Took me a year to pay off student loans, may not have had any if I started at the CC.

High schools need to promote CC and vocational schools much more rigorously. They were basically treated like a cancer when I was in high school in the mid 90s.

Because they mostly support and donate to the GOP, duh!

If that's the concern, you may want to invest in insulation.

This is simply an attempt to force an organization to do the bidding of the administration. At any point they could have made up some arbitrary reason to demanded the grant money back.

In my experience, very few items prepared in restaurants can have quality of the delivered item on par with the quality of eating the food inside the establishment (pizza about the only exception I can think of).

As soon as you seal up a cooked meal for transport, the steam gets trapped and makes the food mushy or chewy. It's the same reason people don't often like eating leftovers, the experience not quite the same as a fresh cooked home meal.

That doesn't even take the extra cost into consideration. In a bind I may get a pizza delivered or a sandwich from Jimmy Johns but beyond that, not a chance.

On a large scale, the less electricity used to cool would be considered a net global benefit. Locally, probably not.

Nothing makes me feel older than watching some hockey games from the early 00's and seeing how awful the picture quality looks. Not even that long ago...

I wouldn't say 4k is a gimmick but do agree we've already surpassed "peak display" for most use cases.

At my old house I installed a 1080p projector and built a roughly 130" screen to project it on. After 4 or 5 years I upgraded to a 4k projector and definitely saw a difference but nothing like the jump going from 480 to 1080.

I use 4k monitors for work because I can have multiple windows open at once.

No desire to ever go up to 8k.

Is that Haitian eating cats or not?

That is a stupid point.

Demand for certain consumer products cannot be managed domestically. It makes no sense to tax items with little to no domestic competition.

I can get behind protecting domestic industries to a point (they still need to show they can be competitive with govt intervention) but throwing up blanket taxes in items like coffee, cocoa, citrus is just hurting Americans because there is no way all demand can be satisfied domestically.

Trump's policy seems to be very similar to what China has done over the past few decades.

I'm from the mid west, never waited more than 5 minutes. I know it's just one example but meant to show how resources are not divided on density

One issue in the US is that voting locations are not adequate in higher density populations that have Republican controlled governments.

I live in a more suburban area of a major US city in the South, I've never had to wait more than 10 minutes to vote. My coworkers who live in the downtown area often have to wait 2-3 hours and that sometimes is just for the primaries. Lines have been as long as 5 hours in presidential elections.

We need non-partisian election controls before we'd ever be able to mandate voting.

Annoying arrogance with that comes with priviledge... now with guns? Shit got real over there.
