Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I thought that cardiovascular risk is far from established fact. I'm seeing the opposite findings in recent research. [1] https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/mens-health&#

I found it full of substance, with the main takeaway that architects are designing for other architects instead of the people who use the building. I see plenty of parallels to software development, where there is a common tendency to desig

Civic engagement dropped by ~5%, with p<.05, per the study linked the article. The way it was written I expected a drastic drop. I didn't see any other years compared to see if that kind of variance is typical. https://ww

I wasn't arguing that. Just that illegal entry is not the same as a speeding ticket was my point. Overstaying on legal entry is civil, and just unlawful presence. I believe that's a bit less than half the population.

Speeding and parking tickets are usually infractions, and are non-criminal. DUIs, reckless driving, fleeing the scene, and the like are criminal misdemeanors or felonies. Illegally entering is a criminal misdemanor, so they aren't the

It's not meant to stop vehicles in real time, but that data can be used to solve break-ins (identify all new vehicles and narrow down), establish proof of harassment / breaking of a restraining order, etc.. So could cell phone rec

Absolutely, though it worked out really well for me so that colors my opinion. I love working on the edge of the future, and in my lifetime the Internet was it. In another time it would have been aviation, space race, radio/television,

MDs are limited in quantity due to regulation, as you point out, but that also means the competition to become one is rather brutal. Long schooling, residency, work hours and then most specialities end up with only upper middle incomes. Doe

Goes up to 23.8% federal due to ACA, along with 13.3% CA state tax for long term capital gains. Just about the highest in the developed world IIRC.

Inflation is the tax on wealth, and much easier to administer and harder to avoid than a wealth tax program would.

Not sure if you are a die hard social constructivist or just trolling, but your last point was true. Each gender should have the same opportunity.

Once again journalists willfully misleading the public by ignoring the difference between tax credits and actual cash outlay. They must know the difference, but clever tricks get more clicks than the truth ever does.

There is little reason to sell tether at a discount if you have significant amounts. You'd usually be better off just buying ether/bitcoin on Polo/BFX/etc and transferring to GDAX to sell directly for USD. Same goes for

It's not a false appeal, I genuinely believe the hasty generalization of the opposing side cheapens the argument for prochoice. That article was a good personal account which could definitely change minds.

Yes, it's a bit of a mental shortcut that doesn't advance the argument much. They mostly agree with their understanding of the Bible, so extend the benefit of the doubt to issues they don't yet understand. Similar to supporti

Faith is like a blueprint, codifying rules in an effort to maintain a stable society. Some of these rules, IMHO, are absurd, but many you'd come to the same conclusion without faith as with it.

41% of women are pro-life, to think they are only driven by the motivation to erode their own rights is far too simplistic. Broad characterization of the opposing side as evil, morally bankrupt, racist, sexist, fascist, communist, or other

My example would be prolifers, that requires pretty deep empathy for the unborn to override the natural empathy for the mothers.

The data backs you up on that, with Democrats ranking empathy much higher when making arguments. That fact almost proves the point OP was making though, when your argument is emotion based offense at hostile views comes naturally.

I believe the nomination will still be from his original list of 25. Is there any way the Democrats could stop an appointment now that the nuclear option gutted the the 60 vote threshold before November?

It's not the reason most end up homeless, but progressive policies applied incorrectly can certainly exacerbate the problem. Excluding the dirty kids who choose the lifestyle, the easier you make it to be homeless and drug addicted the

If it were the first instance of this with Filezilla, and the admin response wasn't dismissive, I'd agree with you. They earned their reputation as untrustworthy.

Depends entirely on how you buy the company and structure ownership. Twitter is large enough to plan these details. I think it's fair to assume they are at fault until shown otherwise.

That project would have kicked their sales tax to 10.25%, highest in the country, and like every major public project they’d go far over their 5.4b budget. The link to Koch brothers is a bit tenuous, it was the voters who killed this projec

Blocking EU ip addresses is an extremely strong indication of intending to do no business with EU citizens. I expect capricious use of the law, but I doubt they could stretch it to apply in those cases.

The fake missed delivery notices USPS sends are widely reported in the media, Amazon is powerless to do anything and probably doesn’t care much to begin with, they change items from guaranteed to “expected” when USPS ships them.
