If everyone in America reduced their consumption of meat to once a month, or even once a week, we'd already be cutting down by 6/7th. Right? Or at least half if given all the other industrial processes you've mentioned. Raisi

Is your BCBS IL plan an HMO? That could explain the simplicity. I used to be on an HMO, but now it's a PPO with BCBS. The flexibility of choosing my provider hasn't been needed for my case.

Dude, it's one person on the internet mentioning that their Windows experience was not that intuitive for them. Ignore it next time if it doesn't agree with you, or try using a different tone if you would like to have a discussion

There's too many variables to say that rent control for the entire housing stock is what keeps Berlin's rents down. For starters, Berlin is known to be one of the cheaper German cities until recently ("poor but sexy"). I

Reddit does pretty well as a conversational medium, but not for a medium to retain information. Unlike a traditional forum with long-running threads that get bumped to the top, many subreddits suffer from newcomers asking the same questions

Yeah, sandstone and water don't mix. I was highlighting the sudden surprises that tend to catch a climber off-guard. If someone is climbing on wet sandstone, they should already be cognisant that it may crumble. (They should also avoid

Like you said, it's not uncommon for people's feet to slip out from under them. A big part of climbing is the friction your shoes have against the rock, but move around, reach for something, and angle of your foot against the rock

Yes! I had the same reaction when I finished up the Bridge Trilogy. It's the same overarching plot in almost all his novels. However, I don't think one reads Gibson for the quality of plot or language, but rather for technological
