I've been trying to buy winter coats at end of season (coincidentally; not chasing sales), and one thing is consistent: fabric content is only hinted at. "Full wool" but "slightly stretchy" - possible with a broadcl

WWII devastated all of Europe's economies. Your much-quoted claim is false.

The Biden administration argued for a change. They did not convince others. It's like saying "Trump renamed the Gulf of Mexico" - no one but loyalists bought in. Economists continue to use the same definition as before, despi

Except that the theme park did present the restaurant as being part of the park, which makes it quite reasonable to hold the theme park responsible financially for the entire debacle. If a chainsaw juggler on a cruise ship cuts my dad in ha

Never even heard that term before. So: no.

I have long theorized that it is inscrutable for a reason: as a bar to laypeople reading a/o editing prescriptions. Turning "30 pills of Pennicillin, refill 0 times" into "30 pills of OxyContin, refill 3 times" is m

If an animal gets its head stuck, predators will casually eat its meat without first killing the prey. This makes sense from their purely selfish point of view, especially as it provides a sort of short-term "food preservation". D

I am reminded of the multiple retired US GOP politicians who show a change of heart and break with their party's direction, sometimes admitting they were part of the problem.

You're moving the goalposts. Watching non-live BBC programmes in the UK legally requires a license fee. The same is not true of Netflix.

The author's words: > I would rather go hungry than develop health problems from filling up on ultraprocessed hydrogenated oil government peanut butter. That is a bizarre, privileged thing to say. Actually hungry people - people at

You: "He didn’t throw away food" Actual words from article: "but I was vegan and the box was full of garbage Spam and Frank and Beans type stuff that I ended up just settting out on the curb." You are creating a fantasy

I think people might be confusing ultra-pure water with "DI water" (deionized water). DI water is AN AMAZING SOLVENT. Waaay more powerful at dissolving low-solubility solids than tap water, or even distilled water. It's stunn
