Don't call it "free", it sounds like you are so out of touch with reality that you don't know that healthcare has costs.

The word is "universal". In my country, I paying for healthcare, but not as much as wealthly people here do. That's the main argument for it: the rich subsidize healtcare for the poor.

I mean father is right: the kid has much to learn. People might be kind in nature, but learn when they get ripped off from other people who have already lost their trusting nature.

If only we could all reset to the kind, trusting human nature.

Verisign owning .com seems like bullshit to me. TLDs are a public good, which should be operated by independent non-profits or contracted to a company to operate, using strict rules about pricing and such.

Whoever hosts and pays the domain for this: thank you.

Also, you are looking at a few different wires at once here. Each separate wire is tensioned with a mechanism with a few moving parts.

These are so simple and yet so clever. When i noticed them the first time i started noticing them everywhere (on all rail infrastructure).

What's this building? I suspect this might be a crime against architecture as a field.

Deep in the thread, asking deep questions.

If you ask me, survival of the fittest is not justice. It is what emerges from a zero-sum game and is not the optimal strategy for the human race.

 

I'd expect the state to have a list of all its citizens and their basic personal info (age) which could be used to determine their eligibility for voting. In my country, we get a "invitation" to the vote, with your voter station and info on how to change it.

Instead, I'm seeing posts about USA's "voter rolls", which are sometimes purged, which prevents people from voting. Isn't this an attack on the voting system and democracy itself?

So why doesn't USA have a list of voters? Are they stupid?

 

I know that the answer is yes, I should, but outlets near the setup are not grounded (even though they look like they are) and I don't want to have wires running though my living room.

The real question is what are potential problems ? Occasional system reboots? Permanent damage to PSU? Permanent damage to other components?

 
 

I'll just come out and say it: 50W. I know, I know an order of magnitude above what's actually needed to host websites, media center and image gallery.

But it is a computer I had on-hand and which would be turned on a quarter of the day anyway. And these 50W also warm my home, although this is less efficient than the heat pump, of course.

What's your usage? What do you host?

 

It seems like the nodes I find using wishbone are small and underwater. Are they even worth it?
