Ah yes! I had to repair a broken tooth when I was in the US, which was covered by our insurance. The dentist took 19(!) x-ray plates of my teeth, which she then charged the insurance company for.

My dentist is very busy. That often means that I have to wait a couple of months before I can get an appointment, if I'm not in active pain. That is of course sometimes annoying. The flip side of that is I'm quite confident that s

There are still some cultures where women isolate themselves in separate buildings while they are "unclean".

Of course. I apparently read the question to fast.

No, small black holes are hotter than big black holes.

No. Simply put, the laws of physics will be described by different equations in a rotating frame of reference than in one that doesn’t rotate, while it is impossible to distinguish two frames of reference that is just moving relatively to e

The problems would be if someone in the future looted some ancient artefacts they didn’t understand.

The biggest downside right now is that it is to slow and to expensive to build new plants to make any meaningful impact in either gas deliveries from Russia or climate disaster.

For each Stalin, we get quite a few Trump.

And most of them were looted.

So as long as we make sure that only competent and sane people get elected to political posts, we are safe. That will make me sleep well at nights.

Why do you think so? To me the argument sounds like: > no one died of radiation, since they were evacuated. The people who did die, because of the evacuation, shouldn’t count because they didn’t die from the radiation. The evacuation was

Why wouldn’t you need to stop down similarly on a phone camera?

Lenses aren’t that expensive, especially not prime lenses. You get a very decent Canon brand 50mm f/1.8 for $125 new. So you could easily get each of these lenses in the lower hundreds. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c&

Yes, and a much smaller sensor will of course gather much less light.

Nah, "all Nazis need to die" isn't so bad (with the conventional western definition of Nazis of course, not the one that is used by Russia today).

What overhead? Do you really think it makes any significant difference versus recalculating the taxes?
528.
by Ma8ee 5y ago
The argument that lower taxes isn't a subsidy is just stupid. It makes absolutely no meaningful difference if someone pays the same taxes as everyone else but then the government pay them some money, or if someone pays correspondingly

I like to see it like we went from bulling minorities to shunning assholes. It’s a bit concerning that you don’t see the difference.

In 1985 you could say “homosexuality is a disease and all gay should be locked up” and you wouldn’t have to be too worried about your employment. Today you can say “I’m gay” and don’t have to worry about being fired for it. I like today’s f

And in a car centric society, even a supermarket becomes noisy and polluting since all their customers use heavy machinery (cars) just to get there. I certainly don’t want to live next to a large parking lot.
532.
by Ma8ee 5y ago
Because even in city centres where most people walk, there’s a perception among business owners that they would lose a big part of their customers if parking were replaced with for example bicycle lanes, while the truth is the opposite.

As someone who has bicycled most of my life in Scandinavia, neither pouring rain or -15 degrees are much of a problem. You are dressed for the weather and you soon don’t even think about it. The only reason that I stopped bicycling in the w

And I’m sitting here in my European suburb and considering if we could get rid of our single car. When I still had to go to the office I always bicycled or took the bus. There’s a grocery store and pharmacy within 5 minutes walk, but we ord

I don’t want to drive everywhere, and I have chosen to live where I rarely have to drive. And I’m not alone. The first bicycle that looks somewhat like a modern bicycle was from around 1880. And many people prefer the car for the simple rea

My boy that recently turned five has known about death for quite some time already. It’s not complicated, and not traumatic. We walked through a graveyard, and he started asking what the place and all the stones were for, and one question l

That sounds like YouTube. I’m often recommended almost a decade old videos.

Refuting the RR paper was an exception, because it was such a high profile paper used by many policy makers in a critical economic situation. I’ve seen colleagues waste weeks to get any kind of attention to clear, and when pointed out, quit
