There's a good chance it will never happen. It's been going on for so long already and there is nothing suggesting it will stop any time soon.

Over last 3 years I went up from earning 7k to 13k (my local currency) and I feel like I can afford less than 3 years ago.

What is a "PhD's essay"?

"any evidence would help me change my mind. Now stop talking about your opinions like they are facts and give me something"

Why would I need more torque for a brush? I'm not bending steel beams there. I have my vacuum set at "minimum" power since it already sucks everything up. Maybe that's because there are no extra holes on the side for belt and stuff that leaks air left and right?

Why would I want that? Am I some kind of spy whose job is to sabotage the company and turn people against each other?

It's just innocent small talk and you act like they sold out your mother to nazi collaborators. Jeez...

What a strange design. In my vacuum this kind of brush is just "powered" by air suction. No motors, no belts etc.

Oh no, people talk to each other!

As long as you get paid and people are not complaining that you are useless then... What's the problem? You clearly are good at your job and people who pay you are happy to do it.

It's just a job, you don't have to be the best you.

Do you really think that some random fact like that is supposed to be "a secret"? If you told me that you like to paint in the park I wouldn't think it's some kind of a big secret.

> And there's unrealistic deadlines that almost feel punitive sometimes.

Wouldn't it be easily explained by assuming that parents are sharing the workload? After years and years of kids coming to class with all the assignments done, it would just become a new standard. If all kids are showing homework done, what's the problem then? It's easy job!

Anyway, it's just homework. It doesn't matter if there are mistakes, or if it's not done fully. All it matters is that a kid spent time on their own (or with peers) trying to solve the problems using materials available to them and skills they acquired during class.

The only acceptable (to me) help with homework is to show your kid the methods. Never use your own knowledge on the subject to "help" them solve issues, only encourage your kid to seek the answers on their own. But that's something that would be done few times at start of their education, not some regular occurrence.

Why you say so? I'd say it's a better measurement considering talking about population density. You generally can't build homes, factories, farms or cities on water.

Rightfully so. Homework is for students, not for their parents. There is everything needed to do it available in the books. Also, homework is feedback to teacher. If kids struggle with homework, that means something is wrong and it should be addressed.

"Did you see that ludicrous display last night?"

Well then, the technology is then correct to flag you for higher insurance. Good thing is that you are aware of it and could maybe work on it. You know you are doing dangerous things behind the wheel but you don't care about fixing them since you see no value in that. Your time is more valuable than well being of other people. Maybe a thought of keeping insurance money in your pocket would be enough to convince you to be more careful while driving?

It's not a comment about your specific driving, but to people in general. I'm sure a lot of people would think twice about their driving habits if it meant saving money.

> I had to brake fast because someone pulled out, not because I'm an agressive driver.

If you were a good driver you'd anticipate it and not have to brake hard. If it happens often to you it means that you are not paying enough attention to your surroundings

> I had to drift in my lane to give a bicycle room as I passed them, not because I'm inebriated or distracted.

If you were good driver, you'd switch lanes when passing a bike at safe and comfortable distance instead of just drifting a little bit. If you happen to be in this situation a lot, you should rethink how you overtake other road users.

Sometimes it's not technology that is dumb. Sometimes (and I dare to say, a lot of times) drivers just have terrible habits and they don't recognize their own mistakes behind the wheel.

If you raise tip of your nose the urge to sneeze just goes away. That's what this tip is about, not pinch your nose shut and release the kraken exploding your eardrums.

So is pissing, but you don't (hopefully) just wipe out your dick in the bus if you want to pee.

I just googled it. Damn, how deep some people are drowning in commercialism that they feel the need to spend money on stuff like this.

And what does this CO2 detector do exactly? It beeps when I breathe out or what?

What for? I'm especially curious about CO2 (I assume you mean CO?) detector. Where would CO come from in a building that has nothing that works using flames?

Thanks. Not everybody lives in a type of building you do, so not everybody needs the same things you need.

Why would I need CO detector? There is no device in my whole building that generates CO. Also there is such a little chance of a fire happening spontaneously in my apartment that what is even the point of smoke detector? To beep at me when I grill steak?

I thinks good sleep hygiene is much more important than a small chance of not hearing smoke detector. Especially for me, since there isn't a single smoke detector in the building I live in.

Breathing in stuff (like big particles) is generally not very good for you. It of course all depends on the stuff - for example if you are just using water to increase humidity, that's fine. But if you use anything smelly, it will affect your throat and lungs.

Maybe you meant air purifier? That's opposite of air diffuser :)
