That's kind of an odd way to look at things, because people are on some kind of curve. A steep slope today might plateau very soon due to various limitations. The projects that seem great today might bog down in technical debt before r

Your list includes only one real action: storming the capitol. The rest reinforce my point; you are worried about what other people think out of proportion to what people actually do .

It matters quite a lot what the federal government does. As long as it's federally illegal, it creates a weird shadow no matter what the state law says.

Depends on the policy. The way I think about TX and CA is that they divide up the Bill or Rights and divy up the ones which they will actually respect.

It's a little weird to compare local crime hotspots to a national average. Costa Rica seems to have about twice the murder rate of the U.S., but that's still low. By "low", I mean if the average accurately represents you

I have heard that sunlight also causes the skin to produce nitric oxide, which supposedly has all kinds of benefits. I am not claiming this and don't have a reliable source to point to.

Maybe your manager is mean, but maybe customers, coworkers, or partner businesses are happy. I don't mean it's all roses, but usually someone somewhere is happy even for fairly simple tasks. But not necessarily for, say, a starv

Most people are probably best off with good jobs that sound boring but are highly demanded. Could be plumber or software engineer or accountant or whatever. People are happy to see you, happy when you do your job, and pay you well. People w

This news is incremental, sure, but still news. If stuff like this had been happening 20 years ago, many countries would probably have a very different trading posture with China. It's important to report on this kind of thing once in

Not sure if this is what you mean, but redemption systems are where you are just getting your own money back. Nobody is really paying you. Maybe there are some places that pay for the plastic itself, but I would imagine they are more picky.

Propane is a vastly different substance with different properties. I'm not sure why you are so insistent that they should be similar. Sure, EVs and hydrogen each have their pros and cons. But that is meaningless without numbers. So far

The news here is not what the police are doing; it's that the police are sending letters telling people what they are doing. I see that as good news. If someone on the wrong path gets such a letter, I can imagine it making a positive d

I should have put it as "Texas is in the middle of the pack in the US". But there are at least a couple ways that could be challenged as well: (a) middle of a list of states is not the same as having equal populations above and be

The facts you posted are interesting; thank you. But I don't follow your point. Why would the parent "Get the F Out" of Texas if the murder rate is both low and comparable to the most obvious alternative?

A lot of pro-urban discussions come from the perspective of single people and young couples. Exciting, spontaneous, etc. I would appreciate more perspectives from parents and families. Do you use strollers (and take them on the bus) or just

This article is specifically about lawful carrying, not ownership. Criminals generally don't care whether carrying is lawful or not, so you wouldn't expect this particular law to matter a lot. There just aren't a lot of cases

For a study like this, I would expect some connection between the mechanisms and the results. For instance, if carrying laws are changed, is there an associated change in the types of deaths that could plausibly be attributed to that (i.e.

This is an interesting chance to support or refute the theory you cite. Watch the homicide rate in TX over the next five years and see if it goes up 11% (maybe after adjusting for national/regional chnages) or not.
