This is a load of horse shit, and I am holding back from being too harsh. Eating out is in no way cheaper than making your own meals. The only way I can even imagine someone claiming otherwise is if you haven't yet built up a pantry a

You're right in that those things happened, and I even agree with the sentiment of labeling the treatment of the natives as genocide. But saying that these things are responsible for America's economic dominance shows a fundementa

It seems that the main point of contention is whether migrants are more or less likely to commit crimes (in Sweden). This article doesn't answer this question at all for us. The following is the one remotely relevant statistic: >

I think it's more like if you're close to dying you might also have some trouble grabbing on to stuff. >> Grip strength was not only “inversely associated with all-cause mortality”—every 5 kilogram (kg) decrement in grip str

My statistics graduate program was about 2/3 Chinese with very poor English skills. This lead to complete self-segregation and a horrible TA experience for undergrads they were assigned to. To boot, cheating in this group was rampant.

If speed limits aren't set based on a real world survey of organic driving speeds on a given road segment then they are 100% arbitrary. In the vast majority of the U.S. it's just a number that a bureaucrat picks for any number of

What are the incentives for workers to be more productive? Compensation tied to their productivity of course. As long as people are working on fixed salaries without significant equity, you can bet your ass that we're going to have &

You don't think that a little historical perspective helps bring the subject to life? I think it's great for both the mathematically inclined students and their not so interested counterparts. Context helps those who care see the

Folklore, maybe not, but Ukraine does have it's own literature. Anyway, the point he is making is valid. Ukraine is fighting hard to get out from under Russia's boot.

This story is very hard to believe. The criminal justice system seems very lenient towards certain kinds of individual when it comes to minor quantities of drug possession. If the pedigree that the OP mentions is even half true, this guy sh

When I was taking mandatory driver's ed at 16 in the US (Boston area), the school's fleet was indeed equipped with foot brakes in the passenger seat. I'd wager a guess that all of the cars that you see with a "beginner

People are always looking for something to blame other than themselves. I'm sure there's at least one person in history that committed suicide solely due to weed consumption, but I would wager a guess that there haven't been

With a couple of thousand applications per year, each one of those small percentages is going to have a 95% bound in the neighborhood of +/-0.5%. The closer a fraction is to 0 or 1, the more significant it is per given denominator. The

Where are you getting this 50% number from? http://www.epi.org/publication/the-class-of-2015/ For young college graduates, the unemployment rate is currently 7.2 percent (compared with 5.5 percent in 2007), and th

Reading this article was honestly sickening. As I went on I got a growing sense of something horribly wrong with the author/culture of the company. And then these paragraphs all out confirmed my suspicions: > Slack forced me to eva

If all it takes is "a few grams of sugar" to feel full, maybe it makes sense for you to go go ahead and have a bit in addition to your otherwise healthy diet. For me, the key to nutritional success is finding something that'

Interesting, but sadly most of us cannot afford to get on the free running sleep schedule this article advocates. However, I really agree with the practice of not trying to go to sleep until you know you'll be able to knock out within

Try a few different ones. I had a swing of $200 on my state refund from student loan interest between 3 different tax calculators. For me, that was worth the extra half an hour.

Kratom is a great and currently legal alternative. It works on opioid receptors and cannot be fatally overdosed. Unfortunately, many sates are already moving on banning it. Big pharma lobby for the win.

Some people have varying degrees of insomnia. Trust me, I always want to get a full night of sleep but I've learned that sometimes it's not even worth bothering until 2-3 am when my mind lets go. Also, anecdotally, I agree with th
