Is this supposed to be an insult to the US? The literacy rate is 99%, and a higher % of the population has a tertiary education than finland, so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. https://en.m.wikipedia.org&

That's a valid complaint, but at the same time it's not always easy to come up with a good name from the start. I often find myself putting in placeholder names for variables/functions because I'm really not sure what it

In what way is Seattle affordable? The median household income recently surpassed 100k[0], and an average studio will run you $1800 per month (let's not even discuss owning anything). Sure if you're willing to put up with an hour

But the same is true for soda or tea. Sometimes I just want almond milk to be cold right now. And also, the refrigerated milk section tends to be much easier to find than whatever place the store decides to put non refrigerated milks.

What were the team building events? I'd love to try some with my team but I'm worried if the first one sucks then no one will be onboard for a second try.

Sure, you can interpret the flag however you choose. That has nothing to do with the perceived rise in white supremacy though. Confederate flags have long been flown in the south, and if anything, flying the lgbt flag next to it is new.

On the contrary, I've been traveling across the US quite a bit over the last several months, from New England, the PNW, and the South. While I've seen plenty of signs and a few rallies supporting BLM and other progressive causes,

I think the population density in the US makes this difficult. If you can't get into the nearest one or two high schools, you may end up with a 40+ minute commute to get to school which would make morning classes and extra curriculars

Melanin reduces the amount of vitamin D synthesized in the skin for the same reason it has protective effects against sunburns. Historically this wasn't a problem since people with more melanin live in sunnier, more UV intense regions.

This is your wife whom you presumably spend most of your time with and sleep next to, right? With the long incubation period and how contagious it is, I'd assume the chance of a false negative (.1% in the new Abbott test) would be high

So that study seems to conclude that the blood concentration of vitamin D varies according to circadian rhythms. That's an interesting finding, but what I'm saying is that I don't think taking a vitamin D pill has an immediat

$2 per 100g is about $8.50 per pound. I don't know what prices in Ottawa are like but that really doesn't sound that outrageous for a high quality beef depending on the cut, whether it's grass fed, etc.
