The USA gave Russia tons of support and money. What more did you want? (serious question).

continued to treat them as an enemy and sought to further diminish them so they'd be even less of a threat.

After Zhirinovsky won the Duma election, based on the platform of re-establishing the Russian empire, it proved that Russia still wanted to be a threat, at least a large section of the population.

It's much more likely that we've hit the cap on the number of people willing to buy a Ferrari.

After all, the existing Tesla Model S has better acceleration, and better range than this Ferrari.

Of course, this Ferrari might have better fake engine noise. Would you be willing to spend $200k for that? As battery technology gets better and better, the performance gap between a Ferrari and a Mazda is going to disappear, and no one buys a Ferrari for luxury. They buy it for performance.

Or you should really do in your shell "alias rm=rm --no-root-preserve"

I've heard about this, but if you want it to give you warnings before you remove things (like a trash can in OSX), then you need to alias the rm command like this:

"alias rm=rm --no-root-preserver -r ."

I read the article. That is really the advanced Zen class.

It's not advanced, I shared it because the headline is clear. The article is written in a confusing way because the author doesn't understand the topic. Another way to say the same thing is, "people are flowers," but that's not exactly precise, either.

This one says things along your thinking, "The Cave You Fear to Enter Holds the Treasure You Seek," but make no mistake, there is a destination and it is reachable.

But since we're at it, What is enlightenment?

If they had to verify every single detail what would be the point of using the service?

For me, the point is to find sources. If there's a [citation needed], then it has to be treated as unknown.

This is the same as Wikipedia. It's helpful because the internet has gotten less and less searchable, as spam has crept into Google and other search engines.
