That statement comes with the implication that strength is something intrinsic and static. That's not true - you get strong when you train, but you have to train gently and gradually enough to not get injured. You train yourself to be

You don't have to look back that far. 15 years ago, South Africa was a wealthy and growing country. This week, they have this going on: https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/south-africa-looting-1.6102001 It's i

Got a bit of a victim-blamey vibe here. Intuitively it makes sense that if you're more active and social, you don't get Alzheimer's - but it's also pretty tough to separate correlation and causation. Does being shut-in c

I wonder if this is an argument in favor of the five-day workweek - at least from management's point of view.

I prefer the stout, but yes, agreed. Weirdly, my favorite NA beer right now is a store-brand red ale - President's Choice from Superstore.

Where I'm from, they go to a lot of effort to make it look obviously different. Soft drinks will come in a large glass which is different from a pint glass that's used for beer, and will always have a straw and ice unless you ask

I use http://motherfuckingwebsite.com , because I'm usually in a swearing mood if I need to use it. I've also always wondered what non-technical folks do.

I live in Victoria, on the water, and this past Sunday and Monday were the hottest days I’ve ever experienced. Nicaragua in the summer wasn’t that hot. The European heat wave of 2018 wasn’t that hot. My friend who just moved here from Johan

That's basically what I do in my lectures at uni. The notes are totally worthless after the lecture, but it does keep me engaged and off hackernews during class.

There's a difference between teaching kids to read and do math, and beating them for using their own language or telling each other their own stories. You don't have to destroy culture while educating.

So the kids in question got removed from their unsafe homes, and placed in equally unsafe foster homes. What was gained? The actual solution is to work with the families to help them create safer conditions and monitor the kids, keeping the

Yep, everyone knew. As a society we just decided not to care or ask questions about it for decades. These discoveries are shocking and gruesome but not surprising. I'm pissed about it too.

Goldbug phase? You mean they literally start hoarding gold?

I think it might be. When those who benefit from the current paradigm are forced to experience the pain that everyone else has been dealing with, they get motivated change things and they have the power to make it happen.

So weird. Why didn’t she sell any of the junk she made, at least to free up space in the house and recoup some of the money? I diy build and refurbish furniture, and I sell my projects all the time just to get them out of the house - I mak

Plus, kids from unstable homes where the parents need them to earn money will sometimes drop out of school to help their family. It's best not to incentivize that.

No, but you can answer their question by linking to the doc or telling them the title of the doc to google it themselves.

That's the point, you can't. They are opposite ends of a spectrum.

Thanks to multidimensionality, I'd say it's totally false. You can hire someone, or be hired by, someone who will raise your level via leadership, emotional skills, salesmanship, writing skills, and a million other "soft&quot

Think 5-6-7-8. 7 times 8 is 56. Or use a calculator, who cares. Arithmetic is mostly memorization.

I switched to Affinity when I got a new mac and could not port my old copy of CS6 over. I'm having a hard time getting used to it, to be honest. How did you get past the learning curve?

In this case, it's not possible to have a control group. You should interpret this data as a case study rather than a randomized trial.
