It's somewhat hard to service debt underwater.

They commonly hired prostitutes as models, it was a somewhat socially marginal occupation (which is funny because these people often were at one degree of separation from kings and popes, but it worked like that).

Apparently they would just need to build a newer release, the fix is already done (but I suspect that doing so would evoke other compliance issues, which is probably why it wasn't done; obviously this isn't the open source project

If you're going to buy platinum / palladium reagents, which aren't cheap, I suggest printing the digital negative on Mitsubishi Pictorico OHP. Check which of the inks in your printing system is more opaque to UV to improve dy

"Ex opere operato" (but as far as I understand it should be done by a "real" priest unless one isn't available).

I assume that the amount of back wages is the actual amount of back wages owed.

Not really. First of all the colours aren't "real" even in that raw, and second if you accept that as real, you can get per-pixel chroma information with Foveon sensors, pixel-shift systems, monochrome sensors with lens filte

Many of the more complete font families feature stylistic alternatives for certain letters. Usually typesetting software has you manually pick them or select sets, but it could be done as you say.

Not easily; you can look at what big buyers (cloud providers, system integrators) do, but they can get blindsided too (like with those Samsung units). Don't buy SMR hard drives.

That specific model and size had reliability issues (excessive wear) which might contribute to its low price.

The native people of Hawaii were wronged, but this doesn't make those specific beliefs more valid than the evangelical "we don't need to care about global warming because Jesus is coming back any day now" argument.

Apparently social media is a step too far but other things that he likes should be common again. He might not even be specifically wrong about some practices being harmful, but the given arguments are weak and incidentally they map to a cer

They also pay taxes for schools etc. - we're talking about society-wide outcomes. Personally I have no intention of reproducing and even think that a managed but very significant reduction in population would alleviate a lot of issues,

I've answered this in another reply to the same post, please refer to that; that wasn't my point.

I'm not sure about what you're asking, but taking a guess: I think that it's safer to have children raised by a larger amount of figures (primarily the parents, but also grandparents in a multi-generational household, other r

OP probably means that we should focus on infrastructure like dams and nuclear power, to mitigate the at this point probably unavoidable damage. There should be less emphasis on policing individual behaviour (turn the AC down etc.), which i

I also agree that this is probably true, but it doesn't mean that his arguments are good.

That's the point; children would die otherwise, by the very biological nature of our species. What the various kinds of "avoid coddling" types want is determining the details of what should be allowed to traumatize them, spec

I mean in general; I assume you're aware of the jokes on how ancient complaints about the newer generations being weak, disrespectful et. are. I don't see how Haidt identifying as a centrist has any bearing on anything; the idea t

Your model of a nuclear "stable household" is very recent, very untested compared to standard practice during most of human history and societes. Putting is on a pedestal without any quantitative evidence isn't wise.

I think that coddling weakens middle aged social psychologists.

The "coddling" one has always been a bad faith argument; a post hoc rationalization for political goals.

Yes, also I don't see what a grad student union and an university can do about inequality in the LA community at large. It would be a recipe for failure.

This is an often repeated anti-GMO talking point, but in reality typical farmers don't want to spend time and effort in making their own, inferior, seed.

Yes, the upper class was actually endlessly tormented by doctors during most of history. Until germ theory you would generally have been better off avoiding them.

I have an Epson SC-P600 that prints A3+, with excellent quality (I use it mostly for photos and digital negatives), but it's expensive to use, features questionable design choices (ink pads etc.) requires arcane driver / RIP setup

This would be somewhat more convincing if there wasn't a whole rabbit hole of "black Egypt" pseudohistory (with and without ancient aliens) - before you complain, this doesn't mean that people with dark skin weren't

I'm going to put it this way: "reputable" newspapers generally want to influence opionion (lie) in a somewhat subtle way. Publishing trivially disprovable falsehoods about official acts isn't how they act, so you can gen
