HR with an HP

Unless you REALLY need color, just buy a Brother BW laser printer. Toner doesn’t dry up. It is all but guaranteed to be the cheapest option. I bought the scanner BW laser printer combo like 8 years ago for $130.

I was the same way. IMO, philosophy is WAY underrated. If the takeaway from intro to philosophy courses is ancient Greeks had some strange ideas about atoms and such, that is missing the point. Below is for anyone that has never touched philosophy at all.

Ethics is NOT what the corporate ethics things say about following the rules. Ethics in this context would raise the question of whether always following company rules is the right thing to do? Is right and wrong objective or subjective? Is something right in some contexts but wrong in others? Which system of thought should you be using (consequentialism, virtue, deontological)? I was just following orders when I murdered those people! By our laws it was legal, therefore right! It is a great way to persuade people and make decisions.

Epistemology is absolutely key to critical thinking. How do you determine what you know vs what you merely believe? Can you trust that error message is accurate? Can you trust your memory? Personal experience? It is a great way to build a world class bullshit detector.

Metaphysics gets you to think about things at a more foundational level. Think about a stop sign. Is it a red octogon with stop in white letters? Not everywhere. It could be a cop or crossing guard with their hand out. It could be a red light. It could be a red sign that isn’t an octogon at all. It is a great way to learn to challenge your assumptions about the nature of the world and things.

I wouldn’t be surprised if that is a take away by some people. The rebuttal:

It is a book about how to write unambiguously and clearly.

Clear writing isn’t useful? Think about arguments about phrases in the Constitution. Clarity would make those problems go away. I could name half a dozen STEM applications of quality writing off the top of my head:

• User Manuals
• Grant Proposals
• Research Results
• Emails to clients or coworkers
• Project plans
• Text books

Strunks Elements of Style should be mandatory reading every year of high school.

Good catch! It is 1034.

https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1034.txt

Which is blatant incompetence considering there is a very straightforward RFC covering domain names.

https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1035.txt

Which is completely irrelevant to the legitimacy of chiropractic.

When is the last time you went to a hospital and saw a chiropractic department? When was the last time you went to a hospital and saw an orthopedics department? I have never had an MD recommend I see a chiropractor, but I have been sent to an orthopedist who sent me to PT. It worked.

I would think they would keep at least 1 of each model/trim of vehicle for testing these things. This leads me to believe one of the following:

• Too tight of deadlines
• Cheap management won’t pay for testing time or units
• Culture of pencil whipping
• A bad apple didn’t do their job, which should be caught by procedures

I do when it is advertising something I hate. Publishers get dollars for clicks, pennies for impressions. That way I force someone I dislike to give money to someone I like.

That’s a machine gun, not a rocket.

Cass, you idjit! You have been on earth from how long and still don’t know how humans work! They are just going to think the OP is delusional!

Another American. Those are small SUVs. Compare those to a Suburban, Tahoe or the like.

Yank here. I use canyonero or monster truck depending on the type of vehicle.

I bet some people here would drive literal tanks if they could.

To me, the frustrating part about wanting to end car dependence is it doesn’t mean they will completely go away. Most of the things that help are better for drivers because they keep impaired and distracted people off the road and allow us to tighten up licensing requirements. So you get less traffic with better drivers. You can also go to a bar and not worry about getting yourself or your car home.

From the article:

“and a missing adapter for use at nearby chargers. The Tesla went dead as Liebau searched for a charging station,”

It sounds like they did try to charge it. It sounds like they couldn’t use the nearby charging locations without the adapter.

Villagers are human like mobs you trade with. Emeralds are used as a currency. Most fletchers buy sticks from you. The more you do business with a villager, the more trade options they have. High level fisherman buy a boat (5 wooden planks) for one emeralds.

Tool smiths start selling high quality enchanted iron and diamond tools once they are mid level. Enchantments do things like increase durability (unbreaking), improve speed (efficiency), and many other upgrades. Once you have a tool smith that sells say diamond axes, anything else is pointless to keep beyond an emergency backup. Cost isn’t a factor because the aforementioned selling of sticks and boats mean emeralds are a cheap and renewable resource.

Just call it a stadium. The names will vary with being called a field, park, or stadium, but if you say stadium everyone will know what you mean.

E.g. Turn left by (the stadium/Wrigley Field/Fenway Park/Dodger Stadium)

ETA: Field is generally used for small ones, like you would see in a public park. So if you go to city park to play football/soccer/baseball/whatever, you would call it the $SPORT field if it is on grass. If it is on a hard surface like basketball or tennis, you would say court. Stadium is for large structures with several thousand+ of spectators, and again the proper names are inconsistent, but stadium as a general term works.

Hopefully this helps. American English is all sorts of ambiguous and inconsistent. One positive is it is nice not having gendered nouns and it is forgiving enough that even with grammar errors, a native speaker will know what you mean, like the plural of cow is sometimes cattle when you used as an adjective “cattle farm”. Nobody would be confused if you said “cows farm”, but along with the inevitable accent, it would be a tell that you aren’t a native speaker

Even if you are completely right about everything being as simple as you say, nobody wakes up and says “gee, I’m going to be stupid/self-destructive/neurodivergent today and cause myself a lot of pain.”

The answer is to use it as a case study to improve the design or perhaps provide a leaflet, QR code to a PDF, or a laminated card to assist renters with controls that are safety critical or unique to the vehicle
