This is your public profile. Write something about yourself! No.
Optimizing for low cost production is how they cost half as much as they did 35 years ago. A 17 cu ft basic refrigerator cost $377 in 1990, which is $977 in 2026 dollars. You can get a 17 cu ft refrigerator for $500 in 2026 (and it will be more efficient, so it'll cost less to run as electricity costs are essentially flat after inflation)
Correction: when you *rotate* the camera vertically, it's a tilt. When you *move* the camera vertically, it's a pedestal or crane movement (depending on scale).
I'll take a pedestal drop too
Apparently Shallots were reclassified as regular Onions in 2010.
@OP that's normal. Astigmatism can be in any direction; which is why the Cyl portion of your prescription (which corrects for astigmatism) is assigned an axis (or angle) from 0-180 degrees (the rest of the circle is handled by having negative Cyl values). So an astigmatism near a 45 or 135 degree axis is less common than near 90 or 180, but the prevalence is 10-20% of astigmatic eyes, so it's not rare.

A keg pump for serious liquids. (They pressurize the drum slightly and have a dip tube to let liquid flow out when you open the tap). They work great, but have some small design flaws that make them a little fragile.
Their point is that office space is generally much cheaper than a factory, not that it's free.
If they were willing to move to Florida, they wouldn't be spending so much money fighting it. Even NYC millionaires would rather pay NY's higher income taxes than live in New *Jersey*.
To be clear, I have no idea who this "Harry Kissinger" that the original comment was asking about is, but *Henry* Kissingdr was a real bastard.
Nope, that's the weather's fault. At least according to American regulations.
You're right. Nothing is infallible, which is why Doctors get sued when they screw up and harm someone. So you agree that AI companies should get sued when they screw up and harm someone. Great! Glad we're on the same page.
Insurance covers negligence. In fact, that's *most* of what it covers, especially car insurance. Figuring out who was negligent is how you figure out whose insurance company is footing the bill. The only state that's "no-fault" for property damage is Michigan; every other "no-fault" state is so for bodily injury only (the purpose is to make it easier to get medical attention quickly).

They got cheaper. A *lot* cheaper. A Hot Wheels car cost about $1 in 1968 ($9.54 in 2026 dollars). Now they cost ~$1.25. So they're about 1/8th the price that they used to be. Of course they got worse. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Wheels?wprov=sfla1 (Collectibles section)
Dude, your name is "Ogle"
On fridges with reversible doors, the handle usually uses the same mounting location as the hinge would. https://www.wikihow.com/Change-the-Side-on-Which-Your-Refrigerator-Door-Opens
1. The original contract was for gas because the appropriated funds weren't sufficient to get EVs and charging infrastructure, but that got amended to be around 25/75 gas/EV thanks to Biden's inflation reduction act. 2. The headline mpg that got reported is based on the Post Office's mileage test, which is not comparable to EPA gas mileage. The new truck gets 14.7mpg (8.6mpg with AC) which compares well to the 8.6mpg LLV or 6.9mpg FFV.

A long time, as long as you don't take them for granite
Right, which is why it took so long to raise the Virginia minimum wage after the last increase, which was in *checks notes* Jan 2026... oh.
#3 Wouldn't it be Sputnik and Explorer or Vanguard? The Soviet lunar program was Lunokhod ("Moonwalker")
Remember the Dixie Chicks and fucking Freedom Fries?
No, the first thing a *Stadium* needs is pedestrian infrastructure to connect it to immediately adjacent lodgings. It is absurd for infrastructure to require a taxi for someone to safely get from a venue to the hotel across the street.
Not quite; that first one should be "Company's owners," not "Company." PE acquisitions are giving the owners of the company the bazillion dollars. What happens to the company later doesn't matter too much to the now-extra-rich former owners, which explains why they're ok making the deal.
It's still a standard part of Ski Jumpers' training routine as the pharmaceutical methods are banned as doping.
How do you "unexpectedly" buy a house? They reneged on a deal and then made an excuse when they started getting heat for it. Pay your debts before buying shit for yourself.
They're also fucking heavy. No matter how well balanced that is, you're still moving hundreds of pounds every time you open the door. By 6 months in, they'll just use the normal door from the garage.
Like stoned British tourists
