I find it nice that they do it - one of the things they check for is items that you purchase via cardboard card (laptops, gift cards, gym memberships, etc...). I'm always surprised that people find it so offensive that someone is doubl

Where I am, the Pacific NW, the coolest parts of the day are (roughly) 2:00 AM through 10:00 AM. On 100F days it is still 90F at 8:00 PM, and the peak is around 4:00 PM. I’m not sure evening classes would change much, unless the temperature

Somewhat tangential, but Facebook’s average revenue per user was less than $9 in 2019. I can’t imagine TV manufacturers can eek out nearly that much revenue from the data they collect. Especially considering that almost everyone is streamin

FWIW, you are agreeing with the comment you replied to - they are saying AirBnB, et al., are definitely not companies helmed by do-gooders and morally sound people.

Courtrooms will always accept video so long as the proper foundation can be provided and the authenticity can be proved. Even the best edits and deepfakes are rather simple to explain. If anything, as the technics become more advanced, we w

Maybe medically fine, but that doesn’t mean it is ideal. And how fine it is varies (drastically, I think) from person to person. I know caffeine is horrible for me, even 150 mg/day - it disrupts my sleep, clouds my thinking, and makes

Not as convenient as a dump, generally, but there are also regularly unattended weigh stations for trucks all over the place. The scales are always on. You can drive across those and you don’t even have to stop, just slow down. I have even

I’m neither for nor against Tesla, but if someone is saying a car is unreliable because people complain about the infotainment systems... that seems deceptive. I think myself, and every driver I have ever talked with, care about two primary

Another article posted yesterday noted that the primary complaints were related to the tech stuff in the cars (touch screens, Car Play, Android whatever, etc...). Given how different Tesla’s interface is compared to a traditional car it mak

The story is still fantastic, despite some poor phrasing. Graves Disease does predominately occur in women, so what the author is saying is true. It may not be the way I would phrase it, but instead of imputing malice or amateurishness, I o

I am hard pressed to think of better methods to fairly and uniformly measure if person A is more qualified for college than person B. There has to be something to differentiate, as objectively as possible, between candidates. And, while n

I mean, that’s a bit of the stretch. The implication in “an offer he can’t refuse” is that the mob is going to kill you if don’t accept the offer, not that they are going to drown you in more dollar bills than you can swim through.

I had not heard that phrase, but I imagine it refers to the recently printed Oko, Thief of Crowns. A card that dominated every format until it was banned in all but Legacy, Vintage, and EDH. It is (almost) universally agreed to be the most

IAAL, who also frequents many Magic: The Gathering subreddits, and it is used all the time there. Same with the home-repair subs I lurk on. It is ubiquitous shorthand.

There seem to be stark contrasts in this regard, depending on your personality (for obvious reasons, depending on how the person comports with your ideals): I find Alex Honnold to be one of the most fascinating humans ever and, say, the pop

That’s not at all how psychological evaluations work - the participant is not asked “do you enjoy killing people?” It looks like about 90% of police officer jobs use psychological evaluations as a screening tool: https://www.theb

Do you have a citation or real-life experience regarding that assertion? My understanding is that all law enforcement officers that go on to carry a firearm undergo a comprehensive psychological evaluation prior to or around when they enter

All colleges, especially graduate schools, are working tirelessly to recruit based on skin-color, as such diversity is now a significant component of the US News Rankings.

That’s the Federal Estate Tax; individual states still have their own estate taxes. In Oregon, for example, the estate tax kicks in for assets above $1 million, and is graduated from 10-16% depending on the value of the estate. Edit: the ta

I think that is in reference to Facebook mining your DMs and web searches, neither of which are viewable to your FB friends or other internet users at large. FB accesses any and everything they can regarding your browsing behavior and ends

Why is that? I am genuinely curious but did not find any good links. I use filtered water from a Brita system with my Sodastream and it definitely does not taste like, or as good as, industrial carbonation. I had always assumed the limiting

MiroF - I (could not initially) reply to your comment directly, but that was a perfect analogy to make your point. I can definitely see how my first comment could be taken that way, and that was not at all my intention. As with many things,

I truly was not trying to offend or trivialize anything: my only point, as best as I can distill it, is that people react irrationally and inappropriately to infectious diseases. And we need to work on that. This is not at all unique to HIV

Is it that much different than how everyone jokes about HSV1 today? It is still a (ridiculous and stupid) running punchline on SNL. Obviously it is a far less dire virus (as far as we know, today) but, we as a species (generally) compared

All those articles are about absentee ballots which absolutely nobody in DC is trying to stop entirely. It is how deployed military persons vote. Trump and the republicans are trying to stop States from implementing state-wide voting, or ex

I am not a maths person, but 10 out of millions fits my definition of a “hand-full”. And if you read the article that you linked to, which definitely does not stand for what you think it does unless you based your opinion on the title, it i
