If you dislike joins and love data inconsistencies, go for it.

You can reduce any action to being selfish and manipulative to some end. This doesn't mean it's a useful thing to point out.

Breaking into a car isn't terribly difficult. My car you can get into with a tennis ball with a hole in it-place hole on lock and ram the ball. The hard part is typically not getting caught.

How do you figure? You trailed off at the end without finishing your thought. I'd love to hear why you don't think it's a huge accomplishment.

This is all oriented around metropolitan areas, which are often much more liberal than the surrounding areas. I'm not sure this speaks the region as a whole. However, you're also understating the threat of violence against trans p

Seems like that would be psychologically damaging. It's certainly how helicoptor parents are seen in the US.

I really don't want this to be a witch hunt (not seeing that here, just wary of pointing out individuals)—this is exactly the type of thing a business should take responsibility for as a whole. This was a process failure, IMHO.

I don't know if this applies to humans. Do you have a source for your claims, or for a similar claim about humanity?

Downvotes don't change anything. Only pointing out problems improves discussion. I am sorry this offends you.

How is this relevant to discussion. This shit ruins the site. At least provide any content to your comment.

What do you mean? what makes you think there is any distinction between family and community outside of incest taboos, which may not have even existed in prehistory? What does an identification of a mother as family have to do with matriarc

Social hierarchies are thought to be one of the innovations of civilization. There is not any evidence of an inherent matriarchy or patriarchy, and there were civilizations that went either way. In fact the strongest theory I've seen a

Why must they be exclusive? Propaganda is a classic justification for corruption, incompetence, and fraud. You need a place to encourage people to look that isn't where you are exploiting.

Hah, I can understand the confusion—I meant the reporters were metaphorically digging through looking for a story about the myth.

There's also a lot to be said for telling the same story—obviously the same story—with your own touch. Personal storytelling is a dying art—arguably already effectively dead. The most obvious version of this would be telling ghost stor

I wonder if this has issues with recent research showing reducing the temperature of memory allows reading it after a restart—swap computers to dodge the fault and read away.

It's really hard to make a case for GC and systems (constrained latency, memory, embedded, realtime) being compatible at all. I've had some success using my own allocation pools just to avoid latency slowdowns in critical loops—fu

It's kind of silly as it's an oral tradition that was eventually written. Half the fun is the variation.

Why not say "make 'em really thick"? Or say "an arm span". The precise units are entirely unnecessary.

Vlad is definitely real. There's a legend that Count Dracula (you know, the vampire) was based on Vlad, but there's not much evidence Stoker took anything but the "Dracole" name (though I think that's the German spe
