Avoided a recession seems to be a call that it's too early to make. Danielle Demartino Booth, formerly of the Dallas Fed, suggests we've actually been in one since October. The National Bureau of Economic Research always calls a r

In other news, residents of these states are reminded of the fact that Pornhub is perhaps among the most vanilla porn and above board porn sites out there compared with the likes of heavy-r, motherless, efukt, and no doubt far more depraved

The thing is, as David Hume points out, there is no rational basis for the belief that the future will resemble the past. There is an evolutionary basis for it, however, because those animals that don't hold this belief tend not to liv

Keto helped me lose weight, but it's definitely worth watching your saturated fat intake. My cholesterol ended up through the roof and BP ended up high despite losing 40 lbs.

3x a week I do a dumbbell workout, which I got from Dr. Mike Israetel on youtube, as a full body workout. It consists of 2 sets each of the following: Straight Leg Dead Lifts paired with Skull Crushers Upright Rows paired with Split Squats

You mean like you get if you run a BNC, or just run your irssi or weechat inside a screen session, or headless X session that you reattach remotely? I've never understood people who log out of IRC.

NATO exists to keep Germany down, and Russia out. The Germans are not oblivious to this fact, so it didn't really come as a surprise when it happened. That's not to say they didn't care of course, as you point out. The only

Dating apps seemed like they got about a decade that anyone took them seriously at all. Maybe 15 years if I'm being generous. Before that, we went out and met people in meat space. Often at bars, because as bad as that was, it still be

To be fair, the swiping was something that if I'm not mistaken was brought to the scene by Tinder, which was never designed as a "dating" app, but rather, a hook up app, that people decided to use for more serious dating. Big

I've for a long time simply asked the question: with what faculty does one decide what their will is? If it's the will itself, that's circular, and sounds like a feedback loop. If it's something else, great...tell me abo

Generous of you to not even point to the environmental issues associated with the mining of battery metals making drilling for fossil fuels look like a band of boyscouts going into the woods to plant trees.

This is true for water cooled reactors, which these are, thanks to a regulatory environment going back to the Nixon administration that mostly makes other designs unavailable, as the cost of safety measures is quite high, but comes down wit

This seems silly for the reason they're doing it, in that a modern database should be able to handle characters with a little sanitation. However, it does seem like it could be helpful when it comes to satnav applications to remove amb

I'm amused that SBUX and MCD are being used as bellwethers given that they're both targets of a global boycott, divestment, and sanctions campaign, and both have mentioned a hit as a result. That said, if it gets the media to fina

Only downside I've seen is my wife doesn't get cultural references, and doesn't do anything without a TV show on, after having grown up without TV. And god help you if you're talking to her while she's watching it;

This sounds like ~30% of parents should be criminally liable for child abuse. As long as COPPA only applies to the platforms, it essentially doesn't apply. There is zero reason anyone under the age of 13 should be accessing social medi

RSS if anything is in decline, rather than its ascent, because of the fact that in many ways it offers access to content in a way that diminishes ad views. It's not impossible that it could come back from this state, and indeed, outsid

I don't think I've ever met someone doing a keto diet that didn't eat an obscene amount of broccoli and other brassicas. But yes, beans generally don't make the cut.
