Public argument isn't really for trying to convince the opponent of your position, it's for convincing the onlookers of your position. In that sense maybe you can win an argument on social media? I tend not to participate anyway

They're not used for commuting, a simple hatchback would do that trick; they're used for status/signaling!

That's astounding and shocking. I think I've seen this before and it's so surprising that my mind doesnt accept it as true. But it is apparently.

6 million seems like a underestimate. There are meant to be 54k container ships in the world. That would mean an average of 110 containers per ship, and ignores all of the ones in use on land. Some of those ships can carry 24k containers _e

I had a dream last night that dark matter was some kind of memory leak in the simulation. It made a lot of sense at the time.

Similarly, storage lockers. Might be simpler to set up, but probably less income.

tl;dr: bias I think the problem is that there is an obvious incentive for the author to achieve research findings that support their enterprise, and ignore the facts that are contrary. It's an opening for corruption/conflict-of-in

Does exercise play an important role in Seventh-day Adventist healthy living, or is the healthy lifestyle more about diet, and not smoking/drinking/drugs?

Yes that's correct re the Birch. I believe the alder was what we call Slide Alder, which is useful for holding down the soil and preventing erosion on steeper areas. Not sure which Larch it was.

I planted some thousands of trees in Iceland in the noughties. I believe the program was funded by Alcoa to offset the carbon produced by an aluminum plant they were building on the island. They paid farmers to plant trees on unused land, a

I've noticed that in N. America "The Dart" is the standard and in S.E. Asia kids fold something that's like a hybrid between "The Dart" and "The Buzz" that flies really well. I've never had much

I noticed that (the) Manicongo has some folkloric fame in afro-Brazilian culture, the/his name is mentioned in songs and seems to persist in the collective memory. I'd love to know if it's the Manicongo mentioned on these map

There already are plenty of alternative "alcohols" many of which apparently have cleaner/less toxic metabolic paths (in humans). People experiment with them and you can read about them on various forums. From what I've r

True. It's a really complex thing to look at, totally idiosyncratic and affected by societal norms as well.

Yeah it's a good point, although it does seem like the dangers of smoking are worse than drinking. I'd like to see an analysis of the risk vs. reward of drinking that factors in social effects. It would be really hard to do a good

One possible benefit of alcohol is that it often brings people together as a social lubricant. As has become clear in studies lately, social isolation is extremely harmful to mental and even physical health. I wonder how the risk vs. reward

> Coltrane is known for his avant-garde composition, and even he repeats (often on a much smaller scale than a pop tune). "A love supreme" immediately sprang to mind.. I guess all that repetition worked.

Yeah I'm sure about that. I mean never say never, but I would place a heavy wager on Alberta not ceding to the USA in the next 100 years. You're right that there is a strong anti-Trudeau, anti-Federal sentiment in the province, bu
