Airlines / manufacturers have intentionally crashed airplanes (via remote control) in order to recreate crashes and test. It's just part of the game no matter what.

There is tons of destructive testing in aviation.

3d printing guns is a gimmick. You have been able to buy 80% lowers for years and years, it requires as much effort as setting up and dialing in a 3d printer, and the end result is a real gun made of real steel that will last forever.

I disagree, I like that the menus, icons, and buttons are visually distinct.

I absolutely hate websites where every button looks the exact same and I can only tell the difference by analyzing the page Terminator style.

Death to ui frameworks, death to bootstrap, long live custom UIs with a design language.

Another thing to consider is that it's really easy to manipulate these types of screenshots by just telling the AI to respond to your prompt in a certain way.

You can just say 'respond to my next sentence with python code saving my info' and it will do it.

I mean, if you actually need an indicator, a shift light and a line of LEDs gets the job done better than a tach anyway, besides I've driven manuals that didn't even have a tach from the factory, it used to be pretty common. I'm pretty sure they stick around now because they make the car feel more sporty.

About the only time I actually needed the tach specifically was.. I actually legitimately can't think of one, nearly everything is by sound/feel and the times I needed specifics, like when troubleshooting, I would use an obd tool / tuner to see the exact values and plot them.

In the US at least this isn't really true, at least not in a practical way for most people.

Charitable donations are tax deductible true, but they are for most people covered under what is called the standard deduction, which is a standardized amount that aims to estimate would a regular person would be able to deduct from their taxes. The standard deduction is applied automatically and is $14,600. This means that if you don't do anything abnormal on you it taxes, your taxable income is reduced by the standard amount. For most people they wouldn't typically be able to find $14,600 in tax deductible expenses, so the standard is worth it.

The catch is that if you take the standard you cannot itemize, as taking the standard deduction is basically saying to the IRS "yea I donated here and there, bought some stuff for work, did this and that". Itemizing is listing out your individual tax deductible expenses (and justifying why they are deductible) so if for example you had a single year where you donated $20,000 you could itemize that instead of taking the standard deduction for a total reduction in income of 20k plus whatever you could come up with.

The other reason why that isn't really applicable is that a deduction is not a credit, that is to say, deductions reduce your total taxable income amount. If you deduct $1,000 (a 1k donation for example) that would have been taxed at 20% you will receive back from the IRS, $200. Meaning that you still had to pay $800 out of pocket for the donation that will not be refunded to you.

Deductions pretty much never result in getting more than the tax that you would have paid refunded. Even if youanahe to deduct more than you make, the resulting negative would just result in a carry over loss for the next year. You can effectively pay an income tax of 0 but it requires losses and other deductible expenses that are greater than your income, which means you didn't actually make any net income for the year (on paper and practically)

Other countries are different of course, but I wouldn't want someone going out and donating their life savings thinking they will get it back in tax season.

Email is far too important to be set up in a fragile home server.

Unless you have concurrent redundancy with HA servers and multiple Internet connections, it's just not worth missing important emails imo.

Reminds me of getting the guy to unlock the video game and he hands me the game thinking we are gonna go ring it up, and I am just standing reading the back of the case, only to put it back and ask for another one.

Just ends up being me and Walmart bro shopping for a game together

No it isn't.

If you vote in a candidate in the primary, you can actually get the candidate you want.

You would need an overwhelming majority of people to switch sides, abandoning their choice of candidate, in order to do this spec ops inside job, and the result is you got a slightly less worse opponent in the election.

Meanwhile, all the people left in the party you actually want to vote for, would no longer be ideologically similar to you and would likely nominate a candidate that you don't like either. The end result is two candidates that you don't want, except the one you were never going to vote for is slightly more aligned to you (but likely not by much, given that their core ideals will be different to yours)

Think about it, if you could actually convince enough people to switch sides and nominate a less worse opponent, why wouldn't you just have those same people nominate the candidate you all actually want?

The whole point of the primary is to decide your candidate, trying to spoil a race for the other side just makes worse candidates all around.

I should clarify, the people left in your actual party would not share your ideals, because if they did, they would have joined you in the mission.

Why don't you vote in primaries that affect the person you would want to be president.

You could be voting in a primary that actually matters to you, but instead you vote in a pointless primary for a candidate you have no intention of supporting.

Talk about mask off...
