Went there with a reporter from the NY Times , and put on a show in the kitchen. One hopes he didn't make a habit of "walking into the kitchen in a random KFC and berating the people", but this specific incident was not that

It seems to me that as we've gone layers deeper into organic processes we've repeatedly recapitulated Galenic theory: "rebalancing" more and more precisely-targeted "humours". Not saying this is bad - in fact,

Thank you for expanding the reasoning in my final paragraph. I agree entirely. I'm a reasonably strong swimmer, and played in the surf for most of my young life - which is exactly why I often stay on the beach looking like a fuddy-dudd

Funnily enough, I was taught how to spot rip currents by guys who thought they were a good thing. I was probably nine or so, and they were college students, showing me how to body surf. We spent a couple of hours jumping into a rip, riding

Heh. I'm not diabetic, so I don't know about all possible formulations. We had to give our cat insulin for a few months (until a pancreatic inflammation - thankfully - resolved), and we accidentally ruined a vial by leaving it out

Insulin would be a good use, as well, and a larger market.

Yeah, I doubt the "common meaning" really covers it. To extend your example: I would bet (although I know no Swedish beyond "skål!"), that the manner in which you say those words would instantly make apparent (to a Swedi

Entirely concur. Curiously enough, I've recently been on the receiving end of something like this. Someone found the website I've maintained for a long-since mothballed creative project. He then found my personal email address (no

You're re-stating GP's point. I agree with both of you.

Just to be pedantic: constitutional amendments, in the USA, require a maximum of 75% of the states to agree. Minimally 66.6% (repeating, of course) of them to call a constitutional convention, and ratify the results. None of that challenges

I've ridden in two Ferraris, and they were very much "red-lined for quick thrills". The "Ferrari rules" may build a mystique, but there's also some juice in breaking rules.

I watched that live, and my jaw dropped. I was, like the author of this piece, grateful to him for injecting some reality into the occasion. (Not that I didn't appreciate the occasion, and the celebration - it was also special.) The ot

True. I think other humans are better able to point out those cases, because they share context - they have, for instance, witnessed other humans following those detrimental traditions - and know, or collectively create, methods to push bac

Both things can be true. Back in the days when I respected their perspective, many US "small government" advocates advanced arguments about efficiency, and some of them made well-intentioned attempts to implement procedural and ad

Practicing yoga seems to help my UC. Aerobic exercise and weight training don't (although are obviously good in and of themselves). You can call it "woo", if you like, but I believe there's something to integrative pract

That's fair. I really don't have an eye for photography - nor, sorry, enough interest in it to spend the time to learn more. I do know that the quality of the photos I've taken, on both my phone camera and the decade or so ol

This is an ad for a particular company. The article doesn't include any support for their claim that their service is of greater benefit to local hosts. However, the general advice given seems sensible. I've traveled in this way b

I agree. So, which one do you prioritize? Currently, it seems to me as if people's (mis)perceptions are leading them to vote against policies that will make them better off, so we need to correct perceptions first.

It is and it isn't. I have a friend who was a professional (wildlife, among other things) photographer in the days of manual cameras. He carried multiple camera bodies, and _very_ expensive glass, but his real secret to getting the Nat

Fascinating comment, that articulates the point of TFA better than TFA did. I've always been highly articulate, and also frustrated by the limitations of spoken language. This is a common (maybe even the dominant?) theme in 20th centur

Well, it was the director's girlfriend - or maybe just a woman he wanted to shag? Memory fails. He was good enough - the finished piece looked fantastic - and I was doing a favour for a friend, so it was all OK. The girl had a list o
