Of course I do. Ask any person living in New York, they'll tell you the same thing.

Is there some other way to participate in online discussion forums besides sharing ones own anecdotes and beliefs?

How do you figure that? The amount of the surcharge for the average taxi/uber driver per day will be many many multiples of the cost for a regular driver. In the case of a regular driver you you have someone paying $9 to bring a car in

As a long time drummer and studio engineer and so on I'd say that there's definitely a hierarchy, where Zildjian and Meinl are considered the best, and Sabian and Paiste are a step down. But like all matters of taste that's a

That 2006 incident isn't a good example it's almost entirely due to the fact that a non-essential part of the Embraer neatly sliced a big chunk of the airliner's wing off.

A flock of migratory birds could very easily be cruising at that height, and if in a fast moving jetstream or similar could be moving at hundreds of miles an hour when referenced to a ground based source.

For those of you who are not crusty aging Gen-Xers such as myself, perhaps I can introduce you to the movie "Dreamscape" which I found pretty captivating as a pre-teen. Looks like it's out there on streaming services still:

Yeah I’m talking about more polar “drowned coastlines” which clearly are the place to go hunting for lots of islands. In the US that’s Maine and Alaska especially. Sweden sure has a lot of islands I’d believe they are #1. It’s the +10x clai

There’s just literally no possible way that Sweden has an order of magnitude more islands than the US or Canada. Open up Google Earth and scan around northern coastlines of all these countries and you’ll laugh at the premise of this article

Americans are the world’s foremost experts on branding things. We literally can brand anything. Obscure pharmaceuticals, campaigns to oppress people, one inch variations in the size of an airplane seat, you name it.

If we’re making recommendations of non-obvious Pink Floyd things to recommend we have to include Live At Pompeii, a feature length live concert movie. I must have watched the version of Echoes a thousand times it’s utterly mesmerizing.

That’s correct this was fake. Ken Klippenstein published the real one.

My theory is that he wasn’t done assassinating CEOs. It’s the obvious answer as to why he still had the gun on him.

If a court of appeals says a party to a case "has not denied" something they are speaking specifically about the record of the trial being presented to them.

You might want to think about this this other way. If you were severely harmed by the actions of a specific person who happened to also be a business executive, should you be allowed to pursue that business executive in court? Let’s say for

This is a very strange statement. Being able to produce the food needed for your own survival is about the most core national security issue there is. And having people living healthy, well-fed, lives of leisure seems like a pretty good def

This is a ridiculous statement. The west has absolutely staggering manufacturing capacity. China has more. And the trends are in the wrong direction, to be sure. But Germany and the US, among many others, have tremendous capacity.

There are so many examples. Widespread ubiquity of pornography and gambling. Proliferation of unstable “gig” work. Flows of large amounts of cash into politics. There’s a lot more. Like I said there are good effects too but it’s disingenuou

The downvoting on this is shameful. This is exactly what has happened. The 90s nerds were fucking malevolent. They’re the ones that built the dystopia we are currently experiencing. I know, I was one of them and I had a first row seat for a

The USD dollar is backed by the universal belief that it will continue to be valuable, plus the entire productive capacity of the US economy and the war making ability of the US government. Bitcoin is backed by a less universally held belie

This is just a bunch of online rant type nonsense. The fundamental premise here is wrong. People hold assets in USD because at the core they trust the US to keep the dollar valuable. There’s nothing wrong with them switching to another curr

This isn’t quite correct. The oceanic tracks do not have radar coverage and aren’t actively controlled. There are other fail safe methods of course all the way up to TCAS, but it’s not great for an oceanic flight to be outside of the system
