   Well, we can also leave North Korea out of the Eurovision Song Contest because it's not part of Europe.

   Anyone have a way to read this without a log in? I can't seem to get past the paywall with archive tools. Aside from that, a friend of mine had a good solution for this - she just moved to Europe, got citizenship, and plans to never re

   In the PDF linked in the article there's only the title of the story, and not the author's name.

   Maybe he's... not great at Russian? I'm at a loss, same as you. And I don't have any skill in Russian, but I would say that his translation is not good, or at least was not thoughtfully made, based solely on the fact that he

   I just want to mention that the cat-related example of the author's CatAttack method (table 2) changes the answer from 8 to, of course, 9. Unfortunately, this is, if I'm not mistaken, in fact the only cat-related CatAttack in the

    I do see this as bloodlust as well. I think the attacks aren't just about a nuclear weapons program. First, the program, according to US intelligence, does not exist. I'm inclined to believe them. [1] Second, unrelated infrastruct

    Hate to break it to you, but you'd have to find support from the IRS / Ways and Means Committee first. For these institutions, the primary characteristic of US Citizenship is filing your taxes, no matter where to live or if you&#x

    Just a little PSA for anybody getting curious about psychedellics from this post. If you have a family history of psychosis/scizophrenia etc., don't fuck around with it. Especially if you've tried before and you've felt

    I don't get it though - how does this help prevent pecking? The only reasoning seems to be in the 1911 article, where it suggests they're made to protect the chickens' eyes.

    Same here. I think I hadn't ever felt so hopeful for the future as I was while reading that book. I doubt that our world will turn out so positive.

    Probably the title should have the correct capitalization then. Cause I was fully expecting a speech synthesis tool that sounded like llamas talking human language and now I'm bummed out!

    I'm not sure what you question is getting at, but yes, the carbon will eventually be released from any wood. If wood-as-carbon-storage was going to be actively applied towards climate change, then it would be important to control the r

    >Matthew Johnson, a professor of public policy at Northumbria University in the U.K., who works on basic income and authored a book on the topic, called the findings “unsurprising.” Seems like the article undermines its own headline.

    Thank you for posting this, this is a very important follow-up to the parent's linked paper. I'm a stratospheric scientist. Back when the reports were written, that CFC's were still being emitted in China, our community was p

    I think that's a very narrow and largely inaccurate view of revolutions. A lot of revolutions were carried out by people with very little resources - Mao led his army from under-developed hills, the October Revolution didn't have
