I was about to say this. Why in the hell are they trying to over intellectualize, "horny young adults that see each other often are more likely to hook up with each other". Add in similarities of interest since they congregated to

I only discovered rugby a few years ago. I was completely floored. Players apologizing? Players being the first ones to admit making a mistake? Players making sure opposing hurt players are okay? What in the fuck am I watching? Who made it

I started caring in 04 I think. There was a huge soccer/football push at the time in the states. A dedicated soccer channel even sprang up. I think I remember the whole excessive injury thing brought up a few times, but that's ove

To be fair, American Football is a game based around playing for time. What's interesting, college games are a bit more faster paced, mostly because those kids have something to prove so they can get into the NFL draft. Either way, I d

Absolutely. What's the joke regarding the two sports? Football is a gentleman's game played by hooligans while rugby is a hooligan's sport played by gentlemen. Something like that. Either way, the level of respect players hav

I think that's why the golden era of Man Utd (last 15ish years with Fergie at the helm) wasn't that good for American fans. Yea, it brought in some (me)... but after a while, I found myself not caring about seeing a game if it was

And... does any of those addons actually matter? I have yet to see why the average person should care. If I was a drug dealer or trying to side step customs or hiding wealth in general, dude, I'm going crypto. But I do none of that.

Isnt this kind of like saying we should bring back incandescent light bulbs so people will heat their houses with them? Like, I appreciate trying to dual purpose energy use... but I dont see a specialized computer that pumps heat as practic

So you're telling me that Bitcoin can make up ground for being almost a million times less efficient on a basic and everyday use case of currency in some other way? Please, go ahead and tell me. That's like saying you have the fas

Ever think it's because you're older and your priorities have changed? You have to break an egg to make an omelet. You need a scythe to cut wheat, beat it to thresh it and pulverize it to make flour. I used to be idealistic too. O

Define quite a lot when it comes to greenhouse gas production. We can make the argument for clearing out rain forests because decomposing foliage makes greenhouse gases based on the same principle of "food decomposition is bad". I

To be fair, wouldnt you set ground rules for your guests if you threw a house party? If those guests dont abide by your rules, you're just going to embrace them to keep doing it? Ragging on them simply because they want to put ground r

Because the Summer of Love 2020 was so peaceful and innocent from either side of politics... seriously, get over it. Both the left and the right are cut from same cloth. They'll torch whoever doesn't agree with giving them the pow

Unless it's used as a jumping off point to learn the real thing. You have to start somewhere to even care about a subject if you're going to dive into it.

Absolutely. Hell, how many people self taught themselves the real life influences of Game of Thrones, Vikings, the Last Kingdom, Master and Commander, etc? Sure, not everyone, but I bet theres a bigger history enthusiast demographic because

Okay, that's some wonky high brow elitism. I'm trying to break into fiction writing as a career and even though I'd like to prop up writing's value in society, you're going too far. First off, everyone needs fun hob

Anecdotal and speaking in terms of EVE, but I think there is a long term benefit to these types of technical games. I used to have zero idea how, "the markets" worked in my early 20s. No explanation ever "clicked". About

The writer being invisible is an academic perspective that never holds water in the real world. Every single reader and reviewer talks about how good or bad a writer's voice is. The concept of invisibility makes beginning writers go fr

You sound like me there buddy. Blue collar upbringing and got into tech. The culture shock is weird and off putting. Never seem to fit in either I take it? You have the leg up on me with that whole college thing. I cant advocate for stickin

I'm doing attempt 2 on a podcast. First attempt was a one shot to see response. Lesson, be comfortable around a mic. I got only 2 comments of feedback, both regarding how "boring" I sounded. Took it down immediately from the

Literally everything you just said is what the article argues about. You skimmed it and missed the point. Theres nothing blockchain can do more special than a decently setup relational DB, except burn a hell whole lot more energy. Blockchai

So someone else explained to me that we are all misunderstanding NFTs. They dont relate to ownership or even authenticity. They in theory could do these things, but nothing in the setup explicitly gives any of that right now with any real

I feel like theres a lot of international and maritime laws Egypt would violate if they just decide to blow the cargo ship without consent from all parties. This would make further trade relations with anyone... sour?

Average expected teu is 30k lbs on a ship. A 20ft container is already close to the redline of these helicopters on the average. You cant max these vehicles for more than an hour or so without needing repairs. A 40ft container cant even be

So... you want to be the one responsible if it doesn't go as planned? Further blocking the canal, let alone damages to the ship and cargo on board. Theres a reason wacky, dangerous ideas happen in the movies and not real life. The cons

Damn, you hit the nail on the head. I grew up in a rural area of florida. I competed in a business competition thing in high school that sent me and other classmates to Cincinnati. My first "big city" experience. We were all like,

While expensive, though cheaper than NYC, Seattle and Portland can claim walkability too. Portland has the better public transit in the city and from suburbs in, Seattle has much more going on though, between the two. But I also think, most

Not op, pretty sure referring to the site redesign. If you force to stay on the old design, yes, you noticed nothing different. But the new design, holy shit, unless you want a Facebook's take on imgur experience, it's unusable.
