The gun crowd bring it up only to do nothing about it anyway. It's just something to blame, they don't want to fund healthcare, education, research and welfare, and lose their scapegoat.

Destruction is easier than construction, that's physics.

Which makes it always cheaper to prevent and not do the destruction in the first place, but we're going to keep polluting until we can pollute no more except we'll always be able to pollute more, because it's easy. The consequences aren't.

Article text being overlaid and mixed in with a series of photos, rather than the photos being relegated to a separate browsable gallery.

Banners/toolbars that you can't scroll away from. That's an old thing, but seems to have gotten a lot more popular with smartphones. Which doesn't make sense to me, space is even more limited on phones, there's less of it to waste.

If nothing else, I think it's healthy to have a variety of sites like this. Not just different admins and servers, but different developers and infrastructure. Don't let some people control it all.

Empty cars on roads or anywhere they don't need to be, should be treated like empty residential properties should. Tax them for wasting resources that others could use.

But I want 8 TB drives. Or more, when they're more reliable.

Just realized I had the same problem and found this thread. Feels like there should be something more obvious to point it out than just a number for the number of comments in a thread, and then not seeing that many comments.

Maybe two numbers, one for the total comments, one for the ones you can see with your current settings.

You don't accumulate that many if you don't buy phones every year or two, and then as mentioned, over more time your charger needs could've changed.

The charger shouldn't be only thing that's built to last.

What's weird is that it's the only option. They discontinued the iPod since the phone did it all, but then also stopped making phones that are convenient sizes and any analog sound option.

Space might be cheap, but SSDs are too small for the slot they take up that could've had a much bigger HDD, and now graphics cards are so big there's physically less room for disks and cables too.

I don't want all SSDs to have room for all the games and nothing else.

I'd rather prisons focused on rehabilitation, and kept everyone in there until they were sufficiently rehabilitated. Instead of having second class citizens who can't participate in society because of what they're branded with, and prisons that do everything they can to break people and make them incapable of seeing themselves as part of society.
