"Silent" here means in part "a lack of public awareness, a paucity of explanatory research, and the reluctance of men to seek help for suicide-related concerns". The assertion is that the low ranking you mention is made

Where did the author express a desire for a picture with a majority of people of color and women? Because I didn't get that at all. The closest I found was her desire to see there is another woman of color so that she isn't the fi

Could you enlighten me as to the mechanics? If my contract says I'll be paid monthly on the 15th, when do I send in the invoice? Are the payment terms net-10, net-30, or longer? Do I need to break out sick or vacation days as its own l

California has a broad anti-SLAPP law that would keep this from costing $50K. She would likely win attorney fees as well. IANAL.

This account had a dev team of 8 when she interviewed in May and 17 when she arrived in July, with an office in Santa Clara. That is not "a garage startup with 3-ish people."

While you are correct that I misunderstood you, and thought you were talking about "planet", astronomers use "celestial body" to include the Earth, and have done so since the 1800s. Your comment started "Technically

I've got one better. Planets orbit their star. What if the aliens have antigravity devices so a planetary-mass object doesn't orbit its star or some other planet. Then what will we call it? ("That's Not A Moon...It&#x2

That technical definition hasn't been in use for about 400 years, when the astronomers became Copernicans. Here's an astronomy book from 1842 talking about the Earth as the third planet from the Sun, and like all planets it revolv

Yes, it is weird, but I disagree with your interpretation. You wrote: "If there are asteroids and debris in it's orbit around the sun, it no longer counts as a planet." That Wikipedia link I pointed to says: "As to the e

Yes, if there were no expenses then that would change things. However, some factors mentioned which you omitted were, paying the network of basement pickers to find a supply, paying for new stock, and government subsidized street parking. T

The odd phrase "clearing the neighborhood around its orbit" exists because people want to think of Ganymede (which is bigger than Mercury) as a moon, not a planet, which your proposal would do. If hypothetically we moved the Earth

I was certainly not trying to do as you proposed. I put them up there to illustrate that the views stated by Cozumel were contradictory, and to give Cozumel a chance to re-think the validity of the proposed tin foil scenario. If Cozumel bel

My apologies. I used the wrong term. It's not "parody" but "satire". No, satire isn't an "absolute defense." I never claimed it was. Nor did I say they were opposites. I was making a comment about a s
