Yeah, this is the same selling point for Le Creuset. $200 for a pot is a non-trivial expense, except when you consider: * Has lifetime warranty * Should easily survive your use and be capable of being passed down to kids, etc. Basically th

Sounds like coal is competing against his other investments. Pretty smart way to dress up your self-interest as a virtue.

Viruses are trying to replicate, not necessarily kill the host. Hence selection pressures will skew it towards “Antibody resistant, lower fatality”. The common-cold is the most successfully virus for a reason. It’s constantly being spread.

This assumes the purpose of life is to do nothing, that sitting on a beach forever is somehow heaven. Not everyone sees life that way (interestingly such views of work = hell is probably negatively correlated with success).

For the life of me, I can't understand how neither IOS nor Android offers some type of "Simple UI" setting. It should only consist of 4 Icons: Call, Email, Text, Web It is a crazily under-served market.

when they started, you could get your results anonymously. I recommended several friends to try. Then they changed that policy...at which point I stopped recommending it. I'm not saying this is the cause, but they had a chance to be go

Not really. Western music is driven by harmonic progression, which is largely absent in most other cultures. The lack of "chord changes" is why its so easy to discern western vs eastern music.

Yes or the alternative: All faxes pile up in copy room in huge disorganized piles (page 4 of this mixed in with page 2 of that) which no one can disentangle so they are eventually all ignored / thrown away.
