Considering that this is new capacity, not total capacity, it's a fucking absurd outrage that it's anything less than 100.0%.

Every percentage point less than that represents us continuing to make the problem even worse even though we goddamn well know better!

“what is the difference between these two pieces of material” (one was aluminum, the other stainless)

Did they expect you to identify which metals they were, or just that they were different metals?

The "Christmas Season" is Fall, not Winter*. The only reason the holiday isn't literally over when the Winter season starts is that the Christians got their calendar screwed up and hold the holiday on a fixed date instead of on the solstice where it belongs.

(*Or "Spring, not Summer" for upside-down people, I suppose.)

I wish there were a selfhosted alternative that would sync with banks like mint.com does, but I haven't found one yet.

I've also dabbled a little trying to make one, but it seems like banks don't really want you to use their API unless you're Intuit.

Wanting shit to be properly categorized isn't oppression. Your take is flat-out idiotic.

The error with Hitler wasn't sending him to prison, it was letting him out again after only a few months.

Because the Republicans currently have the support of something like 20% more of the population than the NAZIs did when they seized power.

Remember, unlike folks who believe in democracy, tyrants don't need a majority to win.

This is an extremely dangerous time for liberty in the US, and complacent attitudes like yours are only increasing the danger.

There are lots of countries that have compulsory military service with alternatives for conscientious objectors (which is basically what you're describing).

I agree that it's a good idea. Moreover, it comes closer to the original meaning of that whole "well-regulated militia" thing. We should consider doing like the Swiss do: give (roughly) everybody mandatory firearms training, send them all home with an infantry standard-issue assault rifle, and then severely restrict access to ammunition except for legitimate purposes like practice at the firing range.

It keeps track of which files you've played (e.g. to automatically pick the next episode in a series), it automatically downloads metadata and cover art so you have a nice browsing interface, it manages multiple profiles so that e.g. you can limit your kids' access to only G and TV-Y or filter out genres a user doesn't like, it lets you set parental controls to limit the amount of time watched in a day (or disable it at certain times of day), etc.
