Celery is one of the main vegetables in mirepoix (an essential part of French and French-influenced cooking), soffritto (an essential part of Italian cooking used for most sauces), and is also used in many soups, stocks, and stews. I think

Brexit has lowered wages and killed job opportunities, though.

It's very simple. Amazon makes a lot of money on advertising and pay-for-placement within their store listings. So when you run a search, Amazon can easily make more money by showing items that they're paid the most to show, vs

Google Domains was canceled even though it too was profitable. At some point if a line of business isn't making literally billions of dollars it might be on the chopping block to yield a leaner overall company. And sometimes your numbe

Maybe the plugs aren't flanged enough? If the walls are mostly flat you could see the bolts being load-bearing.

Neither of those have a commanding lead on their respective markets. The videogame market is very competitive (and Xbox isn't even the largest player), and as far as office products go, more people use Google Docs now than Microsoft W

NFTs are collectibles built on top of crypto, though. They're not the same thing as Bitcoin/Ethereum (which have much more utility, and crucially, are fungible). The vast, vast majority of collectibles that have ever been made are

I always renumbered my lines in BASIC to be incrementing multiples of ten as I was anal about that ... But I was thinking more in the context of showing code to a class, during which you're usually not updating it, and even if you do,

Most (all?) modern IDEs have line numbers for all languages, so if you open the code in the right program the educational benefit should still be there.

So maybe students in that situation can do remote education and then everyone else does normal, more effective, in-person education?

The vacancy rate in NYC is really low right now. Those units aren't "left empty", they're quickly re-rented back out. It's just that the new tenants on average have fewer people living per unit than the old tenants.

This might make a good case for supplementing/fortifying magnesium into foods broadly, like we did with iodine in salt.

Yeah. Between my girlfriend and I who live together (she's also at a FANG), we just barely clear 7 figures. It's easy for us to afford living here, and my commute is a short ten minute bike ride. I barely even ever take the sub

It's entirely possible that you aren't missing anything, that you aren't cut out for this kind of living. But many people are and find it highly desirable, many millions more than can currently afford to live here. Also, I m

There's absolutely a housing shortage. Fewer people living in one unit is how you get a shrinking population while the housing supply remains static. And rent control exacerbates it, as you have literally over a million people that ar

The drop in sodium is funny because if anything that's a good thing as most people eat way too much of it, and it's super easy to supplement on the rare occasion it proves necessary. (Every one of us has a shaker of 100% bioavaila

Fortunately these are really easy to supplement/fortify back into foods. Plus it's not like meat has any less of them these days, so it'll mostly affect vegans.

The question also presumes a fixed number of homeless, which is obviously not true looking at the explosion of them we've had over the past decade. You can meaningfully reduce the number of homeless by (a) building a lot more housing,

This is exactly the right call, and closer to the way we used to run things -- people acting a nuisance in the city weren't tolerated. We need to go back to it.

The first priority should be cleaning up the cities for the benefit of the actual taxpayers. Absolutely do not let drug addicts overwhelm your downtown cores and make them terrible. You don't need to lock them up indefinitely, but you
