I work in building science. It's obscene how little actual design and quality control goes into residential homes.
The typical design is just one step above being illegal, and people are often scared off of doing anything more than that by the threat of increased cost. However, they don't realize that they pay for it either way; either on their mortgage, or on utilities. Only one of those you can actually own in the end.
I was going to also post the direct AMA link, but the OP is a nice concise summary of many of the key discussions, provided without having to go to that site. I'd recommend reading that instead and follow links as you see fit.
"Working as intended."

How about we just settle this over a game of battlebots and no one else needs to get hurt.
"Our Computer"
It is a great example of how an industry can survive with only self-reported effectiveness. I remember a freakonomics episode where it was shown that very infrequently do companies get a positive return on marketing spending. It will be very interesting if that industry ever collapses.
It's a very noticeable improvement in realism in games that do this. Quantic Dream games have also done this, even in Heavy Rain from 2010, and it really goes a long way in making a game into a story.
Except not /s
About $11M USD.
I'd gladly pay for a reasonably priced service (probably no more than $20/mo, but even that is on the steep side) where I could watch whatever game I'd like with no blackouts. Unfortunately, that doesn't exist, so, here we arr.
You are able to edit titles on Lemmy, if you'd like.
The moment I read 'Mike Wiggins' I was really hoping that was the police chief.
EV maintenance cost is quite low compared to ICE vehicles. Brakes and suspension are probably the biggest wear items, but brakes have comparatively less wear because of the regen braking.
There was also a large amount of money thrown at developing the vaccine because of the virus' significant economic impacts.
If quitting the game is more complicated than alt+F4, I often just alt+F4 after saving.
In Boost I found it nice to hold to collapse, that way it wouldn't erroneously do it if you just mis-tapped something. Copying text could be done through a separate menu.
Well either you or spell check did a pretty decent job with that there post.
Without extortionate extra fees either. I recently wanted to crossplay Overcooked on my PC with a couple friends on my PS4. "Buy PSPlus for only $100+ to play this game online!" Yeah, fuck off.
Your username is quite fitting.
Subs of which they can often take 50% commission on.
Can you provide an example of MAID being abused?
I just went on my annual visit. I'm not sure if it was ublock or what, but it was actually a fairly pleasant experience with no 'sponsored' content. Reminded me of the Facebook of old. Accessed through the browser, of course. I don't want that cancerous app on my phone.
But Gmail includes ads disguised as emails too?
Or @pm.me, even shorter
I feel like that's the opposite of what we want. Perhaps a storefront where one could choose what they want from different providers for a reasonable price would be good, but consolidation leads to *opolies, which are never good for consumers.
Oh definitely. Its essentially a massive case of 'it's difficult to get someone to understand something when their salary depends on not understanding it.'
There are controls in the case of Casinos, though. The most relevant being no minors.
It starts early in the design process. But at that stage, it would be best to pause installation, have a mechanical engineer do the mechanical design (including equipment selection) based on an energy model and install the recommended equipment.
The fuck is a scathing latter?
I could see it being tedious if you had to manually enter long, random string passwords regularly. Though I suppose you could change them to something easier to type. Ctrl+shift+L (bitwarden extension autofill shortcut) is just so much more convenient.
Not medical advice, but when I can tell it's getting full in there, I pour 50% diluted hydrogen peroxide (just use the cap of the bottle) in my ear, let it bubble away for 5 minutes or so, then use a bulb syringe thing with warm water to flush it out til it's clean. Be careful with pressure and temperature of the water, but it works great.
The cost of doing business.
Income-based fines should really be more commonplace.
As an engineer, critical infrastructure should very much be designed with redundancy and failsafes to prevent failure from any reasonable risk. Cold weather impacting natural gas supply is reasonable risk that can have a catastrophic impact on people's ability to heat their homes and it's mind blowing how those failures have happened more than once in recent years. Utilities should be held to much higher standards and immediate action taken after failures to prevent the same from happening again.
I've purchased a few things after listening to him yell at me for 20 minutes. The reviews are useful, but I wouldn't watch for pleasure.
Pretty wishful thinking to suggest any of this effort is in support of the actual artists.
"Checks and balances" are an illusion.
How are brakes needed more regularly? Most of the braking a normal driver would do is done by the motor(s). Sure, the vehicle is heavier than a similar sized ICE counterpart, but I would guess a typical driver is using one-pedal driving whenever possible. Anecdotally, I have an Ioniq 5 and brake almost exclusively with regen, whether it's I-pedal, or shifting between the four levels of regen when decelerating from higher speeds.
Until there's no financial incentive to do so, this will continue.
A mall that's only random clothes, shoes, and jewellery stores surrounded by an ocean of parking lot is very unattractive.
As you say, a mall with actually useful stores, like grocery, pharmacy, perhaps a restaurant or two (not chain fast food), etc, with residential units on top or very close to constitutes more of a community than a mall and is very likely to be sustainable versus the former.
