Don't think this is what was meant by trash burning.

Because mineral oil isn't a "drying" oil (it doesn't polymerize in air), it's an unlikely choice for finishing furniture because it stays greasy and will rub off on things. More likely is a drying oil, like linseed,

Nothing is a useful and meaningful result in a lot of cases. This is essentially a degenerate case of a discriminated union. There are other choices that can be used to the same effect, such as exceptions or sealed classes. Of course, you c

I think the desire to repurpose obsolete electronic appliances is probably far too small to make a meaningful dent in e-waste. Not much to be done at scale with random, idiosyncratic, and underpowered SBCs. I don't know for sure but I

What we don't label can't hurt you, I guess.

This sort of reasoning would fall apart if ingredient labels at a molecular level were put on "whole" foods, most of which (including bread) will have hundreds to thousands of chemicals that you won't recognize. Almost invari

I don't understand where this idea could have come from. Both sets have access to junk food, and you can buy "real" food in cities of course.

Is it not natural or are you just unpracticed at it?

Asking citizens if they believe there are social problems so bad that they want to leave also has selection bias, and lots of it. I would hazard a guess that most people anywhere are not considering leaving, are not prepared to, and can&#x2

I don't know if we should or shouldn't but it deserves more thought than you're giving it. For one thing, I seriously doubt prohibition could ever be politically viable, but increased prices or reduced visibility and availabi

Public health regulations are not completely effective for everyone, but they can still be more effective than null on average. Raising prices, reducing availability or visibility, and other measures do usually work. Prohibition is often ci

This is an ignorant take on social sciences and their use of math and statistics, so I assume you're also ignorant about the field of economics?

Not worth the time spent organizing and taking stock, in my opinion. For any given thing, there are perhaps three places it could be and they can all be searched in short order. I have a good enough memory and not so many objects that I can

Society seems to value the appearance of effortlessness whether it be skills, fashion, knowledge, social graces, etc. Grandparent's criticisms are just more specific versions of calling someone a "try hard". Presumably they a

Getting votes by appealing to pocketbooks is par for the course of politics since forever. Republicans might usually pick up taxes as their chosen tool but it is the same.

Why does this make the sentiment insincere? Is it inauthentic if you're saying it to yourself? And whoever wrote this didn't write it just for themselves (there are other involved people and there is public relations). More charit

Because the messages were written by people, the sentiment is more authentic than anything made by gpt.

Strict etymology is not the best way to understand a word. Video here makes sense in a few ways, particularly because it's all but certain that what will be viewed is a digital scan and not a projection and because the audience may be

That doesn't seem like the correct reading to me. The health consequences of isolation appears to have its own body of research. The article summarizes and cites these, but doesn't appear to be intended to engage with the question

You can but one of the grievances with what Microsoft is doing with Windows is the tendency to reverse some of those electives after you install an update. I haven't seen this happen with GP, probably because MS isn't in the habit

They had a coherent point and it wasn't buried in word salad. If you disagree, maybe you could express that with a few less whatever-words yourself.
