In addition to the staff tending to exceed every expectation and (at least outwardly) being entirely non-judgmental, the social atmosphere of fine dining restaurants is drastically different than casual dining, as well. I think people assum

You explained exactly what happened, and now you're claiming that I can't possibly have any idea of what happened. Do you not see the disconnect there? You said the time frame was January 24th to February 15th. By using simple mat

I highly recommend you go read this thread again. You are asking that question to the exact opposite person you should be -- I didn't say it, I quoted it. But this seems to be another case where you refuse to read the words on the page

You claimed that a company's publicly posted return policy is somehow irrelevant to a story about returns. You also claimed it's perfectly reasonable for somebody to order from a company "they had zero faith in," and the

Their policy[1] clearly states that it can take up to 10 business days to process a return, and then an additional 3-5 business days to process the refund. If you mailed it on the 24th of last month, it arrived on Friday the 28th, and you r

The downvote button is Reddit's second biggest problem. It was meant to signal that a piece of content was either off-topic or broke a rule, as a way to alleviate the pressure of moderation. That's a fine theory, but it's sim

Except some of the people they've banned were making them lots of money, so it's not as simple as your suggestion.

Both Reddit's admins and their future-employee mods are completely out of control, in a way that makes Facebook's intentional topic manipulation seem tame by comparison. These people go out of their way to ban people for no reason

It is quite elaborate, well-planned and a lot of time has surely been invested, so the very underwhelming results must be devastatingly demoralizing -- which I think is probably the best outcome of any scam.

It's not limited to the last two decades in the US -- and to clarify, I said that ERs have been flooded with an increase of cases in the past two decades, not that it has only existed for that long. There are a dozen reasons that CHS i

As a chronic sufferer of CHS, I'd be happy to tell you all about it if you're genuinely curious. But there really hasn't been a question of the connection between cannabis and cyclical vomiting since the 2004 study[1] led to

It was extremely disappointing that NOVA completely failed to mention Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome, and they also falsely claimed that there have been 0 marijuana-related deaths. They really didn't do their research for that episod

You have this backward, as well, because that's not how any of this works. The UCEPROTECT list is a literal text file that gets ingested by the mail provider. The provider is under zero obligation to use the entirety of the list and, i

Quite an absurd misinterpretation of what I said. The only point I made was that the mimicry of spoken language is what gives context to allow us to learn problem solving more easily. Nobody is trying to go into the intricacies of how progr

As I mentioned in another comment, programming languages have historically been designed as left-to-right sequences of nouns, verbs and adjectives, in a way that mimics the sentence organization of English. Coding is very much a practice of

I've almost exclusively experienced and heard of coding being taught as plain English concepts (even in countries where English is not the primary language), so it's not exactly some rare commentary made only by coding elitists. T

The problem with relying on math for logic training, is that many (perhaps even most) students find mathematical concepts far too abstract and intangible to apply those lessons to other situations. Coding, on the other hand, is basically ju
