Suddenly prisons are trying to incarcerate the factually innocent, since they're the least likely to "re-offend."

What's the example book? I doubt it's as black-and-white as you're making it sound. There are plenty of books with "sexually explicit material"* in them that are appropriate for children. * e.g. the book my mom made

Second law of thermodynamics cannot be defeated. The laser is outputting more heat than it can cool, effectively just moving heat.

I'd agree with you. Solid state cooling implies something like a Peltier cooler.

??? All cooling is just moving heat from one place to another. There's no other way to cool anything.

I don't understand this comment. You can, like me, fail to engage with the writing or the topic. But what's wrong with writing about your experiences on your blog? Why should that not be centered around yourself?

There's no notes field for contacts on the Instagram app.

I see. It's still a fact though that the energy output is the same as the heat output.

I agree completely with your "number one problem." There's a lag in between using a dating app and going on an actual date, so if you're single and on dating apps, you end up with a strange periodic behavior. When you&#x

I’ve been very actively dating and single for ages now. This is unequivocally a good idea if executed well. Is there a “notes” section so I can jot down details from dates to remember? That part is currently occupying my phone’s notes app.

Isn’t that because in that case, 60W refers to the legacy socket size rather than the power output?

Doesn't an e.g. 60W lightbulb output 60W of heat? I can't see any reason it wouldn't just be 1:1.

A statement about "air quality" that fundamentally "misuses" the term is pretty much an incorrect statement.

Why is a mostly-incorrect* analysis of candles on the frontpage? Just because Carmack is saying it? *: Wattage might be the same, but the effect on air quality is different. Humans don't exhale carbon monoxide and smoke.

I disagree. Always be skeptical, BUT we have a whole scientific method to use to address that skepticism. When the other side refuses to engage in that, it gets very frustrating. The vaccines had clinical trials and VERSA databases as skept

Not to stir the pot, but I’ve long believed that a big problem with conservative ideology is that it does not seem to believe in externalities—either good or bad. Positive societal effects couldn’t possibly arise from investments in educati

That’s an entirely separate concept from dev velocity. FWIW I like the name in economics, and can’t immediately think of a much better one.

True with traveling generally. The best Thai food I had wasn't at the "best Thai food" place in Bangkok, it was on a streetcorner. The best kebab I've had in Berlin wasn't at Ruya's, it's my local guy.

It's a great pepperoni, but there's no way I'd queue to eat one.
