Dialect and language are sort of a "coastline problem". You can find variation between two neighboring villages if you like, but at some point you have to draw a boundary around a group of speakers and call it a dialect. I'd

This implies the common false dichotomy though that public officials can only be either: elected in toxic, wasteful campaign cycles every 4 years; or completely independent of public oversight. Those aren't the only two mechanisms that

Glad you asked here. I was taking down notes during the article to inquire about if this would help me get into running. I have very flat arches as well, but I've never been a runner and my knees are already pretty bad. (Aside: I think

It's weird, because there are (at least in the Rust "galaxy") several tiny, extremely distant constellations. I thought they were background decoration until I zoomed way in on them. Hard to image why they would be so distant

I genuinely think it should be a legal liability to make a claim such as "we have strict security measures on the platform to ensure that your personal information and your safety are secured." First, because they're probably

I'm really confused by your reply, and it doesn't answer the question I posed, so maybe that's that.

Everything you're saying is exactly in accord with what I posted. Individuals always have choice, but when we're looking at an entire population and seeing that large amounts of people are making a choice that we think is "ba

...In other words, because DoorDash is convenient and advantageous for customers, they choose to get food delivered instead of go to the restaurant. And admonishing people for choosing the advantageous option is useless, at best. Does that

I don't understand your argument. It sounds like customers were reacting to their environment more than driving change.

No, this misses that much of the money is just circulating around the capital holders.

Wow, yeah. I suppose I can sort of see the motivation, insofar as solar panels have a finite lifespan, the homeowner might think it's better to not be on the hook for handling end-of-life. But in reality, as you say, I would not want t

Honestly the article is all over the place and appears to be mostly "bullshit" although I haven't afforded it a complete read yet (and probably won't).

It depends on your definition of psychedelic then, as I find different sources supporting either argument, but NO2 produces powerful hallucinations, euphoria, dissociation, and sometimes creativity much like typical psychedelics, but on a c

I'm not a xenon user, but I completely disagree with what you've said here. What is your point, that because xenon is hard to make it's an insane person's drug? You're implying a huge level of risk but TFA outright

Clearly the symptoms aren't the same as just holding your breath, which makes me think that it is not, in fact, completely nonreactive. (But I'm a total noob to biochemistry.) Similar to Nitrous Oxide, which definitely has a power

Actually, it is quite different. It's more like arranging a depressed person to be forced to walk through the woods for 5 minutes to go to the bathroom. It won't heal everything on its own and they may resent it, but it will mecha

I have, and it sucks. Especially when the current job is seriously unhealthy. It's far preferable to quit first, but I no longer work in an industry and economy where that's a safe bet. Thus, insurance.
