That's precisely the opposite of both my point and observable reality. Why doesn't every apartment rent for $1500 per month? Because people aren't willing to pay that for every apartment. Because of this, every real estate ma

Yes. That's how things have always been. As long as we live in a capitalist society, that's how they'll always be. The market value of a thing is not just what someone tries to sell it for, it's what someone else is will

This is irrelevant. The fact is that it's 2-3x the cost because someone decided to be greedy and purchase lots of tickets that people would have bought. If people stopped buying scalped tickets, scalpers would be out of business. We&

All of the convoluted reasons why scalping must be stomped out have never made sense to me. If people would let the market handle it, things would sort themselves out naturally. If scalpers have to spend more money buying tickets than they

The first thing I did was search for the title when I saw the price and this link was what I found. I doubt that I'll ever get around to building one but now, I have the option.

It was like magic. No expensive drugs. No side effects. I'm surprised and disappointed that none of the doctors I saw recommended it and I only found it by googling my symptoms. I had a gastroenterologist suggest that I take miralax ev

Obviously, this is anecdotal and I'm not advocating that anyone else do what I did until they consult with their own doctor but this is my experience. I had some long term digestive issues. I began supplementing my diet with magnesium

Many of us who went to college in the 1990s saw this. There were so many people who thought that getting a CS, CIS or CIT degree was going to lead to them becoming dotcom millionaires that it was sad. We had an abundance of IT people with l

20 years ago, I used to work for Computer City and they treated us like Radio Shack's embarrassing little brother. The writing was kind of on the wall, even back then. Metric and spiff driven sales staff. They were making quick money w

It's my understanding that breed in dogs would be more analogous to ethnicity in humans. Whereas certain breeds of dog are prone to developing certain medical conditions, like hip dysplasia or heart failure, certain ethnicities of huma

Even one who is incapable of feeling fear probably should fear the means by which he could be caught.

I have been banned from playing at a few establishments. Just knowing when to raise your bet does a lot to tip the odds in your favor.

That was a great story. A little long but still great.

That's why the big threat is teams. The one actually doing the counting can play haphazardly and consistently lose money but they will covertly signal the partner who comes in with big bets when the situation is advantageous. The big b

The mere thought of having a streak of luck would make winning illegal. Where I live, many bars have 8 line slot machines that are ostensibly "For Amusement Only" but they pay out when people win (and if they know you). If you w

The only reason why copyright exists is for the benefit of society. If copyright is ever used to the detriment of society, an adjustment is in order.

I don't think it has been definitively proven but it could have been.

As someone else pointed out, copper kills bacteria. That's a part of why we use it for water pipes. It's also a part of why we use brass for doorknobs.

This particular story is new to me but when I was in high school, a teacher once presented me with the idea that this is the origin of many if not most cultural/religious taboos. It made perfect sense to me. Don't eat pork. They d

I suspect the opposite. A few years ago I had to have a gastroscopy and the doctor was baffled that I refused GA.

I had a cavity filled last year and the dentist told me about how when he was a child, he went to a dentist who didn't use local anesthetics and he felt everything. He didn't say it but I suspect that he went into dentistry to sav

You can't discriminate based on "race, sex, marital status or sexual orientation" that's the law. I have noticed that every time you say this, you conveniently leave out "religion". It's against the law

None of the examples you listed in the GP were illegal. Yes, that was the point. I'm talking about the weaponization of the law. Also please show me in your holy book where it says "thou shall not participate in commerce with h

I don't believe there is any perfect system. Don't people who work part time already have time to do civic engagement? Paying for them to do so would have the effect of amplifying their voice at the expense of others.

I'm an educated(M.S.), full time working, CIS, male, hetero, minority. Doesn't my voice contribute to diversity too?

History can't be retconned this quickly. The polls were done state by state and showed Hillary with a substantial electoral college advantage over Trump. These poll results weren't about reporting on the feelings of the electorate
