> My mom toilet trained me at 3 months. Is this a typo? I don't see how it could be physically possible for a three-month-old to be toilet trained. Among other things, they can't sit up on a toilet seat or walk to the bathroom.

Well we are getting some "real change" now, so I guess the monkey's paw works.

True, but I think it's rather beside the point. Administrators shouldn't be censoring materials from professors' syllabi.

Inciting someone else to criminal activity has been a crime since forever. This is not a 'post-modern' concept.

> At no point in human history have humans not worked This is a non sequitur. The discussion is about the point of life. At no point in history have humans not pooped, but I would imagine that few consider pooping the point of life.

Yes, absolutely. How else would you define it? The whole point of happiness is that is a subjective, internal state. If you just want to know if people live in a cold, dark climate you don't need to ask them.

I would look at the secondary consequences of the totaling of white collar labor in the same way. Without the upper-middle-class spending their disposable income, consumer spending shrivels, advertising dollars dry up, and investment in gro

I agree with all this, except there is no plan B. What could plan B possibly be when white collar work collapses? You can go into a trade, but who will be hiring the tradespeople?

I think in the context of the GP's comment, 'never' means it never (or hardly ever) happened on the products it was expected to happen on (home computers, as understood circa late 70s/early 80s). Yes, it has happened on

Why does a fan app need to find the WiFi networks? The OS does this, and then serves an internet connection to the app. It doesn't need to know what the available networks are.

As someone totally ignorant of British airports, a Google maps search for "airports northern england" shows Teesside, Carlisle, and Newcastle all significantly closer to Edinburgh than Manchester. Are these not places where a 737

It's a 55-year-old book about a businessman who was modestly famous in his lifetime and now is pretty much unknown. Was it some mega-hit at the time? If not, then <10K were ever printed. How many do you expect to still be floating a

Whether it's factual in content is irrelevant, the purpose for communicating this particular fact is clearly partisan and political. It's also a fact that Donald J. Trump has been impeached twice by Congress and indicted on crimin

You're saying that believing in democracy means believing in electoral dictatorship: whoever is elected president can do whatever they want. But that isn't supposed to be the U.S. form of government. In fact such a form of gove

The scenario presented seems very odd. Why would you want to sort 10^7 items that are known to contain only four distinct values? It seems much more likely you would be counting the number of times each value appears, or selecting all of th
