Jesus. I stand corrected and a little impressed, and they’re right, Americans would literally riot over those prices.

That second one is terrifying ! Did someone feed the system thalidomide and PCP or what? Some of them though, if I didn’t know I was looking for flaws, I would probably never think twice about them being humans.

To be fair, this “proposal” is something you in no way included the details of in your comment. It would be impossible to guess that you were using a novel definition of “income tax” to include capital gains tax as well.

It’s not as expensive per mile as Japan, but US highways do often have tools, and if you’re on the East coast it can add up. Just crossing the GW bridge in New York costs about the equivalent of 1,400 yen. If you want to compare a similar d

My pleasure, and I have a great link that goes into the exact mechanism of how CFC photochemistry destroys the ozone layer. https://scied.ucar.edu/ozone-layer Here’s one with more technical analysis along with the exact che

The simplest counterpoint is that the wealthier people are, the less their wealth relies on income and the more it relies on capital gains; using money to make more money. Squeezing the middle and lower classes while giving a free pass to t

Absolutely, and I wish you the best of luck in representing your views to your father. I know how painful such a disconnect can be. This is a good intro to the broad issue of volcanoes and climate: http://www.cotf.edu/ete&#x

It isn’t an argument, it’s a restated aphorism devoid of context. I think I’m not alone in wondering if you actually have an argument to make, one this involves making specific claims about the statistics I’m question and the methods by whi

That’s not even an argument, but I’d certainly be willing to see your analysis of these particular statistics and why you think they’re fraudulent.

More critically, they emit huge amounts of sulphuric compounds, which are what really sick around and tend to cooling. Unfortunately when those same compounds don’t reach high altitudes, you get a lot of acid rain. All told however, their n

I didn’t say it’s doomed, or dead, I said that the reality of it being a little known and used protocol is at odds with the claim that it represents a public utility. I think that’s especially true when comparing it to a claim that Twitter,

A public utility that very few people have even heard of outside of tech circles. I feel that more or less takes the “public” out of the “utility” and doesn’t give Twitter a pass.

Ecstasy is a stimulant, not a hallucinogen. It’s both. Ecstasy/MDMA. MDMA (3-4 methylenedioxymethamphetamine) is a synthetic, psychoactive drug chemically similar to the stimulant methamphetamine and the hallucinogen mescaline. ht

Did you even read the opinion presented in the article you posted? I don’t think it’s quite the comeback the tone of your post would suggest. The two camps seem to break down in terms of “signaling” or “sending a message”, and the argument

Of course destruction of ivory makes the remaining ivory more rare, more valuable, and desireable. The issue with ivory poaching isn’t going to be solved by Drug War tactics, and just like burning a pile of cocaine it does nothing to solve

Horrific, not surprising, but horrific. It’s a little slice of Niven-esque sci-fi hell, here and now. Still, while a crackdown on the groups that based their research on these organs is a must, I’m not sure that retracting the research is t

No one wants willow bark, they want aspirin. You can't grow aspirin in your back yard, you need to do chemistry to turn the bark into the medicine. Plus willow is a tree and you can't grow it everywhere. Nobody wants willow bark

If they rebel, then either there is a use for some of them for guards, or those we can hire for guards are better (and will win). The US indeed have a large amount of land and many guns, but that land is already termed "fly-over"

My friend bought something similar when he got a sous vide circulator, and let me tell you... it really works. You get the perfectly cooked steak, plus that Maillard reaction we all know and love. It’s also killer for anything you want to m

Fish used in sushi is almost inevitably frozen, or you’d have a mouthful of extremely rubbery, almost crunchy fish. Remember also that the original sushi was fish fermented in salted rice for a while. As the availability and taste for fresh

By that logic willow bark should be illegal. There might be more at play than you assume.
