Maybe my observation has another plausible explanation: everyone is buying the whole fat yogurt, so they're constantly sold out! If true, brings up another question though...why do Shaw's and Stop & Shop keep stocking items th

If having hostages allow a captor greater freedom of action than they otherwise would, then willing or not, the hostages are enablers. Being an enabler has nothing to do with free will.

I'm pretty sure if there was a South Syria, whose population considers themselves to be Syrians and Syrians to be exceptional in the world, with a stable government, a thriving economy, and a security guarantee from the US, they'd

It's a worthy task, and the key to doing so is getting China on board. On one hand, NK is probably the most exasperating "ally" China has, but on the other hand, China really doesn't want the combination of refugees and

I wonder if this has anything to do with my observation that it's ridiculously hard to find whole fat yogurt, especially whole fat Greek yogurt (!), in most grocery stores in the Boston area. Only specialist and high-end stores such as

Particulates are easy to deal with using current technology--burn lean, burn hot (and inject lots of urea to get rid of all the NOx that this regime creates), and stick on a filter on the tailpipe to get rid of the stuff that does get creat

I can easily get full from starchy/fibrous foods, but then I feel hungry again 1 hour later. Fat/protein rich foods, in contrast, keep me full for 4-8 hours.

There is an RDA for carbohydrates, but: 1) It's way too high 2) It doesn't have a sublimit for sugar, so you can get 99% RDA of carbohydrates from sugar and the guidelines will tell you that's fine.

Diesel /is/ greener when you consider only CO2 emissions and energy efficiency, although turbocharged direct injection engines narrow that gap significantly. If this were the '70s though, I'd much rather have a fleet of

The state is ubiquitous now, but it also administers with a much lighter hand than it used to--even relatively liberal states in the past regulated public and private morality rather heavily, and even the most authoritarian states rarely po

Another reason, possible related to all of the above: if the USD sharply declines in value for some reason, its trade deficits with many export-dependent economies (e.g. China) will also decline and perhaps even become surpluses. Those who

I have wondered about the same thing--both hoppiness and maltiness are good reactions against bland mass market beers, but somehow big malts never took off the way hoppy IPAs did. Is it difficult/expensive to make malty beers?

Lesson #1: Don't try to preserve social harmony by delaying indefinitely the consequences of bad company decisions. Clean up quickly and effectively instead. It seems like most countries have learned the lesson (or have never had to) a

It's not that simple--if you express negative emotion such as sadness and melancholy, it's easy to find support here. However if you use that negative emotion as a springboard for resentment, grudges, and generalized hate, as OP h

It's even better if UBI is funded by a nationwide land value tax, which would discourage both NIMBYism in low density, high value communities and using real estate as a store of wealth (instead of as a productive investment).
