And they dunk on India for all the parasites in Ganges.

Lol true. I would hope that wet wipes are not being used to wipe asses but I was referring to civil engineering: removing solids from wastewater is possible. It says more about UK civil engineers than it does about careless citizens.

The things people flush is insane. It is a solvable engineering problem though.

Diversity of experiences are important.

Right, so send them to public school where individuality is homogenized out of them.

Maybe mooltipass does what you are looking for? It's open source hardware too.

"I want things for free" isn't a good argument against copyrights. Without copyrights any random asshole can sell copies without giving money to the creators.

Intellectual Property laws are an abomination but this meme is a very young child's understanding of the issue.

For example, there is a cable from my monitor to my desktop that when plugged in straight is able to be disturbed or dislodged from my dog walking past it and the hairs on the top of his tail touch it with micronewtons of force. Yet if I coil it just 3 turns over 3 feet length it can withstand 10000 times as much force before becoming loose.

Another thing I'm reminded of is the coils in phone cords back when everything was wired with handsets. This must be a well known principal but I don't ever remember learning it.

Speaking of systemic teaching issues, the only thing worse than math is physics.

I was able to do calculus at 10 yrs old (the reason I know that is kind of a long story), yet even at 20 years old I struggled to understand how it was taught.

Physics is worse because everything is always taught as an aprocryphal story about who discovered it and how. And then hand-waved away with math whenever questions arise.

Having noticed systemic issues in education systems since my very first contact with them as a child, I would not be surprised if flaws in how education is performed are ultimately responsible for the differences rather than biology.

I don't understand why youtube-dl is targeted so much in search results. YouTube keeps changing their scripts so that it has only worked about 1 week per month for the last 5 years. And that's when they push an update within a month. Sometimes it's as long as 90 days that the thing doesn't work.
