I read it as a rebuke to a generalized statement that you characterized as US-centric, hence implying that outside of the US the police are your friends. You also said "they do generally want to help" which is a rather explicit ge

Are you a person of color? Do you have piercings, pink hair, stuff like that? Maybe you shouldn't generalize solely based on your personal experience?

If they say "can we come in?" it likely means they're legally not allowed to come in unless you invite them in. Which means they won't kick down your door either if you just don't answer.

The Gestapo becoming subordinate to the SS was the result of said rivalry, so it's odd to present that as evidence that there was no rivalry.

It matters to the workers? I guess there is a cultural aspect, then, playing into this question: (How much) do you care about worker rights?

There were similar rivalries in Germany (e.g. Gestapo vs. SS vs. Wehrmacht) -- different state rackets competing with each other is a common feature of fascism.

I think this is missing the point. Yes you can make seitan from scratch, but it's not necessarily going to be better since seitan with its main ingredient being gluten contains little fiber either way. On the other hand, chickpea flour

Making glass from glass isn't expensive either, kind of similar to how you'd make glass from sand: you melt it. The government needs to set the right incentives, though. Recycling of one-time use glass works quite well in Germany.

> Apples to oranges... That's kind of the article's point. It explains how it's an apples to oranges comparison. If that's obvious to you, you don't need to read it.

If it's, say, 10 instead of 100 years and something more serious than a flu, insurance companies or future employers for instance might care?

I don't understand your example. That ballot paper was counted as a Tory vote, i.e. not as spoiled.

You can just not vote. It has the same impact on the results of the election.

So if this is Google's motivation, they should just promote results that can load fast regardless of whether they use AMP. They have the means to do that but they don't want to, presumably because their motivation isn't quite

> "Resist this attempt by the Trump administration" Funny. Trump has said he loves WikiLeaks, and likely has no interest in Assange getting extradited to the US.

I'm starting to think that disabling MCAS isn't even a sane option because then the pilots are exposed to unexpected aerodynamic characteristics due to the plane's weird design. Does this make sense?

Firefox is going to enable tracking protection by default, which is already risky and would currently make many websites with anti-adblocking measures block Firefox by default. Blocking _all_ ads would surely make content providers revolt a

This makes sense. I use white vinegar to treat a skin disease. It changes the acidity of your sweat, which then affects what bacteria can flourish on your skin. It's the bacteria that produce the smell.

Everybody sweats, you too. I don't think you need to be very sweaty to attract mosquitos, but everybody's sweat is different so that likely plays a role.
