One of four extensions I run, I hope they never give up. A while back they mentioned it being harder and harder to maintain.

The laws are to punish the act once discovered. Not to inhibit it, primarily. Which I suppose cuts down on the incidence of the act in the long run,

>I'm a bit skeptic

Out of curiosity, what data are you drawing or what qualifications do you have that support your skepticism over three different modes of analysis (as well as pretty much every recent development in the field) supporting this claim:

       "Remarkably, this agrees with what is independently predicted from BAO-only or BAO+CMB analyses, though this fact has received little attention so far.""

You may want to check your premise. Just because you weren't aware of the early stages of Falcon development doesn't mean it went quickly. Not even accounting for the fact this is orders of magnitude more complex and will be a huge leap forward in space logisstics if they can get it (and the reusability) to work

False. Lego is some of the most precise injection molding in the world. The tolerances are insane and they nail them every time. Compare with offbrand building blocks and you'll feel the difference.

Micromolding is very hard, and Lego is the best at it.

It wasn't a strawman, it's a direct reply and I'm zero percent emotional. What are you talking about?

Your neighborhood isn't a starter neighborhood and there are thousands of others in the country.

It's a counterpoint to :

"Our housing policies have broken this social contract. Many younger people cannot afford to live in high opportunity but high priced cities. Those that can, often only do so because of help from family"

Speak for yourself. I am 38, live in one of the top fastest growing cities in America for like 5 years running now (with a booming housing market), and own my own house outright as a result of my hard work.

Just because someone taught you something doesn't make it so. And even then, it might be true but your own choices (and failures) may be the reason you have not met your goals - rather than "housing policy".

Try on some personal accountability for size - it'll probably help you achieve those unachievable milestones you are yearning for, also.

Firefox on ChromeOS sucks though. Just went through this, tried Canary, etc. Went back to Chrome.

Calling Walmart a "grocery store chain" is like saying GE is a "light bulb company".
