A perfectly admirable sentiment that has no relationship at all with the reality of passporting or travel documentation.

Durum wheat was likewise introduced to Italy in the 9th or 10th century AD, if I recall correctly as a consequence of the Muslim conquest of Sicily. Interesting to think that those iconic elements of their modern cuisine were introduced &qu

I've found said assholes have an attitude that they are entitled to platforms and it's incumbent on everyone else to go out of their way to avoid them. Farcical, but they will scream and cry when the idea is challenged.

Help them stay where they are, absolutely. Never met a Christian conservative who was pro- expanding refugee immigration despite working for an evangelical church myself. Even destitute Christian migrants at the southern border are told to

Interesting that she's "walking the walk" in terms of dominance behaviors too. It would be fascinating to study whether she underwent significant hormonal changes after taking leadership or whether she had a different hormona

That's fair, especially since in my opinion the first two examples are definitely unnecessarily flowery language for the topic.

Interesting that his most common feedback is to use simpler language and write shorter pieces; personally I've felt he does very well at using accessible language but is handcuffed by the intrinsic inaccessibility of the topic to peopl

She's not even "co-president", just "co-leader". Morhaime was CEO, Brack president. Odd title deflation in play here.

Nope. It shares the perspectives of some people who do but the author does not take a stance. Shocking to see so many comments here acting like that's the case.

Would you say that you believe Samoa or the Maldives, for example, should anticipate a small and gradual change in climate that doesn't warrant a massive upheaval in their economy?

The question of the impact of climate change on humans seems to me a separate one from the observable reality of climate change and CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere, which is a more tangible data question. It seems odd to describe yours

The human bears their own weight, so they need to move the exoskeleton + load. These systems are more like braces you stand in with strong frames and motors to augment your natural lifting motions than "waldo"-style full exoskelet

I haven't been in the industry for a little bit, so I'm sure the tech has evolved, but the versions we evaluated used battery hot-swapping to extend use time. I honestly don't recall how long a single battery ran for. We prim

I worked in a logistics operation that explored exoskeleton options deeply in 2019. Options were shockingly limited and the best products were not powered in any way - essentially just frames to bolster your body mechanically. Compare to th

I worked at a large American healthcare tech giant with a certain Wonka-esque private owner who famously said, when asked why she didn't support adding 'nap rooms' for employees, "That's what your desks are for.&quo

The middle class in America is largely buying $40,000 vehicles with debt and in middle age, not in cash at 18 (and a very long life ahead of them).

And ironically he did not choose to abstain from drugs (cigarettes at a minimum) afterwards which seems like the much more direct lesson

She is not pursuing a lawsuit against the university itself (at least at this point) for exactly the reason you point out here - a university cannot reasonably trust someone with those views to treat Muslim students fairly.

Simply the cost of it (25.000 euros debut price?) seems to defeat the purpose. The weight being closer by far to a small car than an electric bike doesn't help either. I suppose people who need specifically that much room in their vehi

There does not seem to be any disclaimer regarding the manipulation, and the OP article questions whether the director would even have mentioned it had it not come up tangentially in the course of this interview.

It is ultimately his perspective but I agree, he was one layer of abstraction away from calling her a "normie". She had goals and ambitions he didn't share; that doesn't mean she "doesn't get it", it means

While you might not know who your source was, if you're in contact with them after the proposed contact point's death you clearly are aware it is not that person. They played coy when they knew overtly he was not the contact point
