I don't know about you, but if 2 hour commutes by car are acceptable for people, I don't know why 2 hour walks (~8 miles) or 2 hour bike rides (~20 miles) are not. b) hasn't ever been a problem for me regardless of the weathe

There is also the issue of massive C-pillars mandated by rollover standards and current fashion, which mirrors can't solve by themselves.

> for rear-of-car blind spots How so? The only possible issue I can see about that solution is that you can't see your own car in the side mirrors and thus judging relative position is slightly more difficult. Of course, the best so

I'm not sure what a smooth helmet surface will do the coefficient of friction between helmet and road if the road itself is still very rough. The benefits will probably hit diminishing returns long before the helmet is actually shiny.

The drivetrain matters too--I suspect many American bicyclists blow through red lights and generally don't respect road rules because with fixed/single speed bikes, it takes enormous effort to get started from a standstill, and wi

Yep, it seems perverse that we force humans to die in ways (e.g. chemotherapy on late-stage cancers, irreversible brain damage) that we would be horrified by if we inflicted them on animals.

50% of the population being 100% vegetarian/vegan is bit much to ask, but I can certainly see 100% of the population being 50% vegetarian/vegan, i.e. eating 50% less meat and using 50% less animal products.

To be fair, you originally asked > why do you think that human life is worth more than animal life which was asking whether value(human life) > value(animal life), not whether value(animal life) = 0.

That shouldn't be a problem once we make sufficient progress in creating and growing iPSCs.

If vat grown meat contains fat as well as muscle, I'd take in a heartbeat too, but if it's just muscle...I would have to turn it down. Lean meat is tasteless meat, IMHO.

Yeah, at that point they might as well include a random password generator script that satisfies the conditions.

Yeah, a dark asphalt roof and direct sun would do it, as I've observe in my parents' house in Houston. You're also right the the ROI is probably zero or negative since your attic is insulated and has a radiant barrier so the

8000 BTU is about right. It's impressive that you actually got that water to evaporate from the roof in a decent amount of time in Atlanta though, since it's so humid. I'm not sure that it does much, since either your roof or

Assuming humans taste somewhat like pigs, humans are every bit as delicious as lobsters.

Even if feelings have everything to do with science, isn't getting errors in your paper pointed out a good thing that you should be happy about?

It's pretty trivial to take the Ibn Warraq approach, though: just reject poststructuralism itself.

If you're an AT&T customer looking to switch to Verizon, you order a Verizon phone, not an AT&T phone.

And if that fails, they can always buy hybrid models that don't need the engine idling all the time.

It's the classic efficiency vs justice tradeoff. IMO the best way to approach it is the "socialism below, capitalism above" approach combining a strong tax-funded UBI with a free-market, low-regulation (except environmental r

Diversity =/= inequality, unless you live in some weird universe where every unique state has a unique utility value.

Given that it would cost the US government more if they used UPS or FedEx to do their shipping, I don't see why that's a problem.

So...why do you think you have enough context about their messages to condemn them?

By those criteria, isn't "effort" an innate factor? After all, people only have so much control over things like stamina and motivation.

For people who are intolerant of heat and odor like me, avoiding overcrowded and AC-less stations in the summer alone is worth the $2.50.

An AI that would be able to drive in all conditions (but not be able to do anything other than drive the car) would still be an ANI.

Rural Southern drivers are hardly safer than Boston drivers though; jacked up bro trucks with ignorant, inattentive drivers aren't exactly a recipe for safety.
