A common complaint here is that the single payer systems / public run systems have very long wait times compared to private US systems (this is true where I live as well. A simple MRI is a five month wait and that requires traveling to

It’s likely to be the areas most relevant to national security that will be onshored. It seems unlikely that bath towels and children's toys, or in fact almost any consumer items, will be relocated to the US.

This sounds like the backstory for an 80s sitcom (or something more lascivious). Though of course the problem is quite real and requires solutions. Residential housing in desirable cities is a growing problem all over the world.

Are bosses today significantly worse than those of over two years ago? Because that’s the only thing that could explain the title. It’s more likely that QQ is the result of tight labor markets giving employees the upper hand not only in f

I am curious as to whether the apps that leak data are specific to a certain operating system. That is, are they android-only or iOS-only.

Killer drones and airborne attack lasers for hire will counter that, partially, same as mounted cavalry put down starving peasant rebellions in the middle ages.

To justify it, there’s the SPF issue. When everything is online, then any failure in the chain between you and the target URL breaks it. Phone doesn’t work for any multitude of reasons, no internet access, et cetera. Printed matter is very

At some point all excess water flows to the sea or evaporates into the atmosphere, where it turns to rain and then to the sea. So sea (ocean, really) levels do not change.

I read so many comments here trying to make having zero kids into some kind of FU to the system. While what will eventually happen is professional families birthing and raising as many children as the state and corporations need, making th

I once had a Toyota land cruiser start climbing onto the hood of my Hyundai accent because the driver couldn’t see me over the hood of his engine as he driving up out of a parking garage.

The developed nations may solve this problem by decoupling children from families a la Huxley’s Brave New World. Perhaps not via bottled babies, but through completely professional caregivers who will raise the children for everybody, leavi

All agree that world war brings far more destruction than benefit. It is therefore irrational. Why would it happen nonetheless? One clue can be the mental flexibility of the leadership. Unfortunately, there is little reason for optimism her

After reading the comments, it seems to me a theme is that everyone thinks somebody else is mistaken or misunderstanding the subject. This is not a complaint, but an observation on how difficult and slippery this subject is! I, at least, h

There are people for whom GoT is their window into the past, specifically the Middle Ages. This is about as true as King Arthur’s Round Table. Sure, people fought with swords and rode horses, but most of the rest is pure bunk (although admi

Fast and loose with definitions is what gets us to a place where no one believes anything anymore. I’m pretty sure that if one was stuck in a forest somewhere and drank only rainwater for a whole month, they’d come out just fine.
