Yeah, i think it's a real problem that a lot of cooking writing and education out there is pitched toward hobbyists. You certainly can enjoy cooking (i do!), but it's also fine for it to be a chore that you want to get done as qui

I think critics always value novelty more than the average person. It makes sense. They probably watch so many movies that anything derivative gets old fast. If I've seen the same trope ten times any critic has probably seen it a hundr

I believe SCOTUS hasn’t ruled that age is a “suspect classification” under the 14th amendment. The federal ADEA (the Age Discrimination in Employment Act) only creates a right of action for people over 40. It’s a weird one for sure. I wonde

Small clarification, but in the US, the “protected class” is a characteristic not subset of the population. So, “sex” is a protected class, and the protection applies to everyone. There have been cases protecting males from discrimination o

That doesn’t answer my question. To be more direct, I’m suspicious that this is just a misleading / question begging way of saying “in 73% of accidents, someone was speeding.” Which doesn’t really tell me anything unless I have already

What does “speed was a factor in 73% of collisions” mean?

I don’t know about needing, but the only place I actually preferred not owning a car was NYC, and I wouldn’t want to live there now that I have kids. I think a lot of people just prefer to live in their own house with their own yard where t

Yeah, it doesn’t seem like people believe misinformation because the evidence for it is just so convincing. I see people link to sources (if they even bother doing that), with completely false descriptions of what it shows. It doesn’t matte

If time word “unsafe” means “carries more than zero risk” then it isn’t very useful to me to know whether a doctor considers something unsafe.

‘The librarians I know generally want ALL THE BOOKS, especially the good and or "important" ones.’ By and large I agree with them. But, I don’t think that when the people running a public institution disproportionately represent o

So to be clear, you would be fine with removing these books if it were done in spite of the desires of the parents but not in response to the parents. After all someone gets to pick what’s in the library. And do you feel this way about othe

I think I gave some pretty specific example areas, but to get even more granular: I wonder if they will stock McWhorter’s “Woke Racism” or Abigail Shrier’s “Irreversable Damage.” As to the question “what about books I think are really bad

If your conclusion from that is that it’s ok for the school to enforce one group’s values on the children of parents who disagree, then I don’t think you can have a principled objection to the “banning” of books. Sometimes you eat the bear…

I dunno. Seems like the 4th amendment protection against unlawful search and seizure, the 5th amendment right against self-incrimination, and the 1st amendment rights for speech and religion (just to name a few) do more than just protect th
