Fun fact: Robespierre was nicknamed the incorruptible (prior to the reign of terror) for his strong moral convictions including his opposition to the death penalty.

Seconding the Organic Maps recommendation. They added address lookup earlier this year (or late last year?) and it does everything I need now.

Still room for improvement on search, looking up restuarants by a general type, like BBQ doesn't turn up BBQ places that don't have BBQ in the name for example. The only other feature I think people will miss is reviews, but you can at least search that online without using another map.

Moore's law is kinda still in effect, depending on your definition of Moore's law. However, Dennard Scaling is not so computer performance isn't advancing like it used to.

Typically the dissenting members are in competitive districts. So if the policy works well they can claim responsibility by association, but if it goes wrong then they can say they didn't vote for it.

It's strategic voting for reelection while still accomplishing their agenda.

Sure but inflation will eat into that over time. The point of the market approach is you can withdraw that amount in real dollars for 30 years after accounting for interest and inflation

This tech allows them to use a standard RGB subpixel. The increase in brightness means they no longer need the white subpixel.

Lmao can't provide proof when called out. Cmon show me all the EA, Activision, Bethesda, Ubisoft, Square Enix, From soft, Cdpr, etc titles with a base price of $150. This should be easy since everyone's doing it.

Groceries (and energy costs) were excluded from inflation in the 1970s as politicians decided that they were "too volatile".

Cartels have diversified their income sources to the point that if their drug income fell to 0 overnight they would still survive. Human trafficking, farming, natural resource extraction, and extortion make up very large parts of modern cartels income.

We should still legalize/decriminalize drugs to hurt the cartels, but it won't ruin them like it would have say 20 years ago.

You've probably tried this but in case you haven't: try putting isopropyl alcohol in the gaps around the bumpers, it can clean the contacts and make the bumpers work again.

But yeah I've also has a ton of first party xbox controllers fail on me, although usually its the left stick or right trigger (I mostly play rocket league which abuses both) and was mostly the xbox one controllers so I've switched to more durable 3rd party controllers.
