And those ‘blossom-thingies’ are called … flowers.

Easier to sell pictures of it.

Doesn’t hurt as much when it gets hit by something.

and pass safety inspection

Ah, I see. Where I’m from, there are no inspections.

How you guys adding labels? I’d like to do that, but I don’t see any option to.

1: Angle grinder the previous latch until it opens.

2: Screw on a simple gate latch from the hardware store ($5)

3: If you want to be really fancy, add a decent padlock to that latch ($10)

Done.

Can you give me the exact locations of all lost civilizations?

Yes.

Goodbye.

Repeatability is key in science.

“There is no way to do this.”

The ‘why or why not’ makes it 2 questions.

What is the full content of the Epstein files?

(Hope you don’t mind if I’m recording you while you give the answer…)

Lots of old lorries parked in movie theater parking lots where you live?

Most modern vehicles have fuel inlets that are specifically designed to prevent siphoning. If you want to steal gas, you’ll need to drill a hole in the (often plastic) gas tank underneath the car.

More knowledge is more power.

Bookmarks, people – use 'em!

Easier to search, more organizable, easier to transfer to new devices, more resistant to being lost, they don’t eat up all your RAM … the advantages over endless open tabs are immense!

Long overdue, really.

Hijacking like this is one of many reasons I’m running noscript these days.

Yeah … not likely, lol. It’s already way too long, what with me trying to exclude every loophole and account for every edge case, so I’m trying to keep it more general and let the Senate pass their own laws when it comes to very specific things that aren’t absolutely essential for human rights and/or the running of a fair and equitable government.

Best of luck, though. I’ll be rooting for you to get selected for the Senate, where you can spend your entire 10-year term exclusively fighting for alligator ownership rights.

Well, that would be up to the constitution and the bill of rights … which I’m not quite done drafting yet.

You should look up how much power a prime minister has, they don’t have very much power at all.

Of which country?

Lots of countries have Prime Ministers, and the power those prime ministers have varies significantly between them.

Often, sure, that’s the reason many people buy high-end products. And luxury cars are a prime example because nobody really needs a luxury car.

But instead, say, let’s look at mountain bikes. A midrange mountain bike will be much better than a Walmart special ‘mountain bike’. And a high-end mountain bike will be slightly better than the midrange one. And it’s true, a lot of the people buying high-end mountain bikes don’t really need that extra 10% of performance and maybe aren’t even really capable of using it. A lot of them are buying it just to flex on the poors, or because they have more money than they know what to do with and feel like they just have to have ‘the best’. But there are real enthusiast mountain bikers out there who actually do ‘need’ that extra 10% performance – expert riders taking on some of the worst terrain possible, people stretching the limits of what’s possible, and competitive athletes for whom a 10% performance difference means the difference between first place and last place.

Or, say, look at a tool like a power drill. A midrange drill will be significantly better than some Harbor Freight discount garbage. (Though, actually, HF’s midrange stuff is fairly decent.) And a high-end drill will be only slightly better than the midrange one. Here, there’s even less of a chance of people buying an expensive drill just as a flex. Because who cares what kind of drill you have? The only people buying it who don’t need it are those idiots with more money than sense who have to have the best of everything. But these high-end drills still get sold in fair numbers, because there are professionals out there using them every day. People who use the tool frequently for work can really benefit from one that’s just a little bit more reliable, a little bit faster and more powerful, etc. It allows them to get their work done a bit faster and more reliably, and for someone using it that much, the extra cost of a high-end tool can pay for itself over time by making them able to get more work done in less time and make more money.

At least some high-end products actually do have a purpose beyond just conspicuous consumption.
