This is plainly, a lie. Here's a list of Chinese territorial acquisitions since the communists rose to power: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territorial_changes_of_the_Peo...

I couldn't disagree more with this post. Teams offers such a better solution than Slack for virtually everything, in my opinion. Slack's voice/video chat is a toy, and it's unbelievably slow and unreliable. I am so glad

I think you presume that human behavior must seem to have a cognitive reason for the "why", when it's entirely possible that the "why" is simply physiological/neurological. In the case of intense opiates, which

If the federal government should be reduced in power, then why should state or local governments have any more power over individuals?

I would have died long ago without modern technology, and the many surgeries I have needed. It's hard to take your argument seriously when I consider the consequences of what you're advocating for.

Natural gas is absurdly cheap in most parts of the US. It's not going to change anytime soon here, simply due to these economic reasons. How do I go about testing my gas stove for dangerous emissions?

I think your comment is an example of an important discussion we need to have around what are the consequences to our drug policies, whether they are tough-lovish or harm-reductionist. I can see value in both, in different circumstances. Ho

It's not $20. It's $20 per year . I know that might be semantic for some people, but for much of these services, I wouldn't want it going away after 1 year if I'm unable to pay that cost again. And for that reason, I th

Yeah right now there's zero reason to buy a raspberry pi compared to what else is available for the performance. The scalpers are selling these raspberry pis at absurd prices. When new supply becomes available, I'll reconsider it.
