I had a similar feeling of "finally, this makes sense" after enduring ClearCase and SVN for a big chunk of my career.

Why do so many people seem to think that there is so much to be learned from fiction? I don't know what Hanson's qualifications are, but psychologists and philosophers always seem to be champing at the bit to demonstrate fundament

That doesn't seem like a good reason as long as there are children who need adoption and foster care.

Indeed, this doesn't seem to be anything remotely resembling Justice. It is more like a legal system churning with no idea what principles it is supposed to uphold.

It sounds like the trouble is that no one knows how to fix it. There's no "[ ] Dead" checkbox to uncheck on the computer, and no "Declare Nondeceased" forms to file, so they kick it up the chain of command. "Th

US reader checking in. If they'd translated it as "town hall" I'd assume they were talking about a dreadful televised political rally.

But not everything does translate. Here's a simple enough example: Some people will tell you that "aloha" means "hello" and "goodbye". That's not really true. It used as a salutation and a farewell, b

I agree. Imagine finding something like a Pachycephalosaurus skeleton without a modern education. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pachycephalosaurus_w... If you're in a pre-civilized, just-barely-scraping-

That's kind of tricky considering how much stronger and more robust an average Neanderthal would have been compared to an average Sapiens.

It feels like something from British or Australian English. Chicken me in and put another shrimp on the barbie.

I'm going to chicken me in here to tell you to go duck yourself.

We probably need this. I got whatever degree of nastygram that isn't a "strike" from YouTube once for a video of me singing a 150 year-old folk song from my own arrangement. Someone claimed to have copyright. I didn't f

Do you suppose they actually see the magnetic field, or does the avian brain process it some other way? It's somehow more difficult to imagine being a bird after reading this. Unravelling the enigma to get to the mystery.

It'll be interesting to see if the IAAF goes along with this and reinstates Dora Ratjen's 1939 high jump record.

Kudos to you for providing an explanation where the dot info people couldn't be bothered.

> Bad C and terrible rationales. It would be nice if they actually bothered to explain. I'm inclined to trust Build Your Own Lisp over blah blah dot info if the latter is going to engage in nonspecific mudslinging.

Stalking my comments across threads isn't doing you any rhetorical favors. You're really upset about this, and that's a shame.

I mean, I just googled "trans jokes" and the first hit was "18 trans jokes by actual trans people" that weren't funny. I was hoping for some raunchy limericks or something. Instead I got pages of results just sayi

Just a minute there. Putting aside the other comments that pointed out that you're probably making this up... are you saying 18 year old women shouldn't feel empowered to date whoever they damn well please? Who are you to decide

Nothing you've quoted says that the author thinks women make worse engineers, only that people are different. If you think it says something else, you should search within to find out where you generated that meaning.

Well said. It would be dishonest to phrase it more politely.

Fermented foods really make you wonder how crazy and/or desperate the ancients were. You have to do a lot of things wrong along the lines of storing surplus grain to even come up with something as tame as beer. Greenland has its own fe
