It’s honestly impressive how I seen daily predictions of infections in single countries exceeding the entire confirmed infected global population by 100x. It’s either the idea that this is a generally mild virus with some random severe case

Most cats I know stay indoors as well. Most of the cats I don't know stay outdoors. Walking 10 minutes down any quiet street usually results in me seeing at least a cat or two. Cats are very common if you're looking for them.

Concrete sidewalks are pretty fragile. Unless they're freshly laid, most that I see have cracks and pits to some extent (probably mostly attributable to cooling/heating and water). Some people also seriously drop their feet down h

I think most people agree that a country needs a well regulated, armed militia to protect itself from nasty invading forces. But arming amateurs and everybody around is about as safe as everybody rolling out their own encryption algorithm.

Writing systems are something you need to sit down and spend at least a few minutes at a time writing out. Anki is better for inputting vocabulary with definitions and example sentences. That also puts the letters that you spent time writin

I get the same feeling from cheap hotel art. Dull colors, fairly abstract, and feeling kind of "soulless"(?)

I'm halfway through reading this and, and so far, the main argument I'm seeing amounts to this: the use of visual art and attention to design is increasing. Making use of artistry in your products or caring about attractive design

That dream get crushed when universities start increasingly accepting students through connections and children of graduates. Getting major urban schools is much harder as a rural kid with a 4.0 GPA than a kid from nearby with the same GPA

I really have no clue why you're angry or what you're arguing. There are people who are 40 years old who are dying, and those people also have major health issues. I'm not trying to say old people and 5 year olds are equally

Thanks for the completely inaccurate personal attack. :) News articles regarding this have been very explicit about saying the victims have notable health problems and not simply age. e.g., A long history of lung problems, cancer, etc. Plen

That statistic still only takes into account known and confirmed infections. Most reported deaths are from people who have other major health issues. With reports of people being infected in nursing homes, there's a possibility that ev

The facts seem to indicate that it's floundering if nearly half of its indie titles are from one minor developer. Indie devs often readily hop on new platforms (given that development isn't unreasonably difficult) since it's

3 indie games is not exactly a lot. 3 indie games is what's launched on Steam any given 10 minutes. If you mean huge indie games, Steam gets about one or more of those a day. And it seems like the Steamworld developer is quite seriou

You're not alone. As an American, it's something I'm aware of too. Vegetables especially seem to be cooked in a way that barely retains their textures, unless they're very lightly steamed.

East Asian and Central Asian food is still extremely salty, so nothing is being replaced. People in Asia overall consume far more salt than even Americans.[1] [1] https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/magazine/where-is

Humans had fleas, ticks, and rats on and around them for millennia. It took us quite a while to finally start to get kind of good at eliminating them, but now ticks are on the rise again and now we’re actively researching cures for every di

Funny that you mention foreigners, because trying to get an STD test in this country is hell. Doctors will grill you and ask if you’ve had sex with foreigners , and if not, why worry? There’s no way you have an STD. Unless you’re leaking b

Other countries have problems, but they’re not praised for their perceived cleanliness. I’ve also never had trouble finding soap in any other bathrooms, and no soap in the bathrooms of some medical clinics indicates a much deeper problem.

Courts don't know how stuff like this works and congressmen are paid not to know. It's unlikely anybody will have the money, confidence, and time to bring up a case against Facebook, and they'd have a hard time going up again

People were dying pretty quickly from SARS. People of all age ranges. Data from China is limited, but outside of China, it seems like only the elderly (as in around 80 and up) are dying. I've seen one report of a 40-something dying. Wh

I know nothing about Bob Iger, but given what's happened these past few years, denial from the person and their family that they'll run for office is the first sign that they'll run for office.

If you don't look that bad from a quick glance, it's generally still possible to get dates. But while a guy might be excited about that date he has next Wednesday night, there are definitely plenty more women who can meet up wit
