I fully agree. However, the converse is also true: we don't actually know which protocols are there because they're social, and which are there to benefit the insurers. Both could motivate cost cutting. I want to see the differenc

Yep, the loudest people get the most help. There's no good solution for that other than to become a bitchy 'client'. It's unfortunate that despite the promises, you still have to 'use it correctly' if you want

Flakey Windows taught me this doctrine, and it has carried over to any OS that I use (mostly Linux). A directory with 'portable apps' was essential in Windows, fortunately apt makes this a whole lot simpler :) 1. Find ways to auto

Also, in Europe, it isn't a secret that Putin's violence in Syria was meant to create pressure on Europe and create a diversion from Ukraine, and it worked (wir schaffen das). When I read the title, I had a feeling somebody wanted

"Economic growth" is a pyramid scheme. The point wasn't wether we should, it was that any group that does will outcompete groups that don't grow. By definition.

I think the comment about Kansas City shows that the big reason nobody hangs out there is that nobody actually lives there. And so since after 18:00 everybody these huge, built-up areas are suddenly available, you create excellent condition
