I was probably just interpreting the ordinance requirements of a minimum distance of 20 feet from any neighbor’s door or window as having to do with smell when I read it.

What was she griping about with the garden? Chickens I can understand if there are smell complaints. In San Francisco you are allowed to keep them but there are rules about the number you can have and the minimum distance their enclosure ca

I don’t know if we could sufficiently prepare ourselves for such a world. It would seem almost as if we have to build it first so it could determine the best way to prepare us.

Certainly could say something about how concentrating power in a few corporations is not a good thing but that is a result of capitalism under a lax anti-trust environment and all companies play under the same incentive. Not in terms of the

There are certainly complaints to be made about the BSA policies as an organization but I wouldn’t hold that against someone who went through scouting.

I get it but when I took martial arts as a kid it didn’t devolve into a free-for-all so I guess it would depend on the effectiveness of the teacher to maintain order.

If you understand how these court cases are brought you would see that it’s problematic at best to rely on them as a determination of truth: https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/the-science-behind-the-roun...

The whole “Roundup not glyphosate” reframing was just a convenient shifting of the goalposts after their initial claims about glyphosate were debunked. But I still contend that your assertion that we are eating non-trace amounts of Roundup

My comment was in regards to Bt crops but regardless I think your perception of how much glyphosate actually gets used is rather blown out of proportion - most likely due to all the anti-gmo propaganda that’s out there. It’s certainly not

I'm not sure what you're thinking GMO technology should be used for. Pest control is a large part of successful agriculture. BT is used in organic farming as well (mentioned in your linked article) but instead of it being made b

All I know is that the reasons people give that they are leaving and the actual reasons can vary. This might be just as much about the state of Apple’s ML division as anything wfh related.

Just my anecdote but I lived for several years in a student co-op (kinda like a frat/sorority but run by the students and mixed genders) and we did alot together much of which was not academically related but even so I only managed to

Good question, probably not quite that remote right off the bat but more small town/rural to start. I’ve lived in Petersburg, AK for short periods(2-3months) when I worked in a cannery there during summers out of college. Did a 1 wee

I'm curious how something like Chemistry is going to work. I was able to take 3 years of it at my high school and can't imagine not having a full hands-on lab component as part of the experience.
