I agree with everything you've said here, but I think we should understand why it happens and build a better solution to it rather than lamenting the fact that people will always try and avoid doing difficult things when those things

The premise that backs this approach seems to be that there is a black and white “genetic standard” but the reality is surely very subtle shades of grey. What are the parameters for deciding between genetically viable and genetically unvia

I sympathise with people using HTML "incorrectly" because there's a mismatch between how HTML is designed and what it actually has to do in the wild. Maybe using the "correct" element structure is going to be much m

It's a pretty meaningless piece of advice if you're not going to be able to pay your rent/mortgage this month because the funding has run out.

You've made some assumptions here about the impact of a verified supply chain for vape cartridges, and it sounds like you're proposing a solution to a non-existent problem. A reputable supplier of vape cartridges gains nothing fro

I agree with this. I used to play a lot (competitive matches, got to near the top of the main league in the UK for CS:Source) and I think for your average player it feels the same to be playing against good players as it does against people

Like I said previously, citations are needed for these assertions. You might be right, but at the moment it looks like opinion.

Fair enough - and I agree with your argument. But it begs the question, if you know that the better life was within your grasp with expectation P then why did you not make the opposite decision? Maybe you know things now that you didn&#x27

The feeling of regret about a past decision is an odd one to me. It's based on the premise that you know with some certainty what would have happened had you taken the opposite choice. That premise is false, you have no idea what woul

Citation needed. The literature I've seen suggests that an electric vehicle easily makes back any deficit quite early in its life. An easily digestable version of this calculation is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch

Or maybe, by having kids you are subjecting yet another generation of creatures to the existential dread and guaranteed pain of their mortality and it is therefore an unethical thing to do? I don't feel like any of these points of view

I suspect this could be an SEO trick for people who mis-spell the name when searching.

That doesn't quite solve the problem unfortunately. If this is the only solution then the subject of some content can repudiate it by not signing it, even if it did actually happen. For example if the president was filmed saying somet

And thirded by me! I got mine for the home office second hand from an online store so it wasn't much more expensive than a new, lesser brand one. Very comfortable, very robust and it looks like it's going to last for ever.

This may be your subjective experience, but you have a single data point (you) and no control so you can't make assertions about your diet's effectiveness like you have. The things I would challenge are: - Lots of Energy (compared

They actually kind of have... the crew on a big ship do very little “shopping” and a hell of a lot of maintenance. The open sea is a very hostile place and most of the work involved is keeping the ship healthy in that environment.

On reading the article I had the same thought... I've driven (as a tourist in a hire car) up the road that they were ultimately trying to get to if they had made it over the pass, heading round to the north of death valley and then dow

But Instagram users aren't, and there's nothing stopping Facebook from buying whatever the next generation of youth start using to replace Instagram when its time comes. The question is can they make enough cash to make the model

On an individual basis, yes. Across a population, not necessarily. If the false positives result in investigations that carry medical risk then it's possible that on the whole, more harm than good is done. There's also an interes

Alas, such anecdotes are not helpful to the question at hand. There's nothing wrong with taking placebo or the approach that you have as an individual, but you have to be aware that there's no way that you could ever know if ther

This doesn't sound correct to me - the derailleur is on the "slack" side of the chain so is never under significant load. The only load is that required to pull the chain back from the crankset under enough tension to stop it

Not if your bike gets serious miles on it. The rate at which I got through gear cables and outers before DI2 was quite extreme. To keep good shifting I'd have to change the both at least every 2 months, and ideally do a strip down and

On the other hand it is very cheap. If you pay £2.50 for scrambled egg on toast with a refillable coffee then you're not so put out if it isn't that great. If you've paid £5 that's another matter. My worst pub food ex

It would look the same and be administered in the same way, but would have no drug in it. I imagine it would be a pretty coloured tab much like the real thing. Unfortunately, even the full text of the paper doesn't say what it was or

Only for sports which have a heavy "skill" bias, where at the competitive limits skill is a major determining factor. It's not true in all sports. E.g. Long distance running, cycling etc where skill plays a much lesser role.

This is exactly what worked for me - thankfully I learnt it while doing my university dissertation and before I started my career. You can't start the task "start a business", but you can start the task "determine the ma

In my experience it's pretty rare to get the VP title in less than 5 years. In fact in my graduate intake nobody did it in that timescale. Good people would get it in 5-7 years.
