Sugar is the crack that's killing us. Cheese is fats and proteins, which we handle very well. But the occasional fruit was our biggest source of sugar. Its rarity makes our bodies crave it like a drug, and today it's so cheap it&#

There's no shortage of open area to put solar panels. If we put a (nearly) continuous strip in every highway median, that would be a huge step forward, and still take up practically zero useable space. Even 1% of the federally owned la

With Obama's absurd win at the very beginning of his presidency, before he could even do anything, the whole thing is pretty meaningless.

Not really helpful to anyone looking for a book when many of these are dramatically different. About half of these I loved, and the other half I couldn't turn the first page. The three body problem and ancillary justice were both so ha

No that was a lot more than just signal boosting.

All politics aside, the quality of the writing, and especially the editing, has plummeted in the past decade at least. The NYT used to set the gold standard. Now it's shocking to read, and I don't mean the content.

Makes me think I should start writing in future tense to get ahead of the game.

Would love to read about this in a more digestible format. This kind of journalism is going the way of the dodo.

The CCP should make its propaganda slightly more subtle.

That guy must have a lot more interesting photos. Why show only about a dozen?

Ring cameras record in public, not your bathroom. What a straw man.

Cameras record facts. What if body cam makers stopped providing police body cams? I can see not sharing the videos to the public, who are notorious for bad and racist judgement, but if the police are racist, that's a police problem, no

Wow, interesting. We should all feel very lucky that we live in a time where we don't even have to kill our own food, much less each other. And we're only like half way to real peace.

You don't have any evidence for that. All of human history is consistently filled with violence, every single day, and it still is. It's easy to criticize the successful, but each of us is the result of a global legacy of competit

Lol. The fact that the entire concept was invented here probably would contradict that.

Less than 1 percent of Americans are participating in the protests, mostly bored college students getting out of their parents' house. But their actions are going to be the best get out the vote campaign for the silent majority in hist

I guess it took CHOP's security shooting two black teenagers for the challenges of police work to really sink in.

They're much less of an organization than Antifa, who has city chapters, training sessions, meetings, and recruitment.

Yes, it's just a series of memes between a lot of people who don't share any other specific political beliefs, except maybe 2A support.

You're absolutely right. At least society will collapse after the far left finishes removing all of its "offensive" pillars, and we'll start building it again. Absolute freedoms of speech, defense, property, etc.

I ask this in all seriousness- what?

I would like to politely disagree; I think the point of having control of the temperature in your house is to have it be exactly the way you want it all the time. Now, it may take a while for the technology to catch up to that, but I think

Yes, the legislature would have to pass a law. But in the US this would be unconstitutional due to the right to assemble. A good government is a secretary / janitor, not A CEO.

by Grakel 6y ago
What we should do is one thing. Saying the government can make us do it is something else entirely.

Yeah it's pretty frustrating

I always say this site is where people who know a lot about only one thing argue about everything else.

Yeesh, who drew the shadow in that logo? The top edge, and the area inside the top of the H is totally wrong.

During the Enlightenment, all criticism of the church was censored. So Diderot created the Encyclopedia, and claimed that all true knowledge had been addressed in it. By listing absolutely everything except for religion, he said everything
