Quicker, also.

It seems odd not to include cattle in total livestock.

Seems like it would take a lot of chickens to maintain a lion, and that would possibly require a large amount of effort for little gain compared to larger game. Lions can definitely catch chickens if there are some around and they care to.

> This kinda reminds me of student loans, why not get as many people as possible into 6 figure debt?

Didn't we already try that with housing?

> But sure they maintain houses. Although just the bare minimum, they will never fix it nicely - just enough to rent it out.

Depends a lot on the landlord. Many will fix it up nicely because they can charge a higher rent. Much of my work is repairing rental properties and I've seen all types of landlords. I try not to work for the cheap ones if I can help it because I don't want my name associated with the crap they want me to do.

This seems odd to me. It's a feature I've grown quite fond of over the decades, and this is the first time I've heard about people not liking it. Maybe I've been in a bubble.

Middle click scrolls in Window?

Works fine for me on Wayland.

Some municipalities have leaf pickup service if you pile up the leaves on the side of the street.

If I understand what you're saying, that's more about how you use (or don't use) combinators.

I find writing CSS to be easy enough. The hard parts are tracking latest changes and browser compatibility.

Seems like something I could have realized without someone pointing it out to me, but I didn't.

So few drugs come to the USA from Venezuela that if there's a list of issues, this is near the bottom in importance.

> Truly this attack on foreign soil is something without precedents for the USA. What's next, destabilize entire regions? Cause wars? Fund terrorists? Military occupation?

All those things have lots of precedent for the USA.

Indentation can help.

China already competes in that market in the USA with Haier.

> “We don’t think we made an error, nor does the school,” Alaimo said. “That was better to dispatch [police] than not dispatch.”

Of course the co-founder of the company that made the error would say that.

> given the testing that has been done on this it's the aerodynamics that matter more than the weight.

At highway speeds with minimal need for acceleration.

He's only comparing highway driving. As he notes, city driving (or really anything with a lot of accelerating) will see the impact of weight on fuel consumption. Seems like regen brakes can help mitigate that for electric vehicles.

Side note, if he set the parking brake when getting loaded then the second tailgate denting might not have happened. It'll also help save the transmission.

Could you describe what you would consider a good logging solution?

There was a time when the Indy 500 was part of both the F1 and IndyCar championships (whatever they were called at the time).

> The easiest way to decrease unnecessary oversized vehicles

Remove/modify the laws that caused such vehicles.

> American style trucks might be big, but presumably they’re nowhere near 44 tonnes.

I believe the typical limit is 40 tons. I don't know if our tons are the same as your tonnes.

Apparently not anymore. Unless there's a different, working URL.

Less money can mean more stress.
