That's not true, after you band-limit a 24/192 file and convert to CD quality there will be no clipping. Nobody can tell the difference in a blind test between CD quality and higher.

Let's break it down by gender, a woman is an order of magnitude less likely to mug you than a man. The difference between groups (female or male) is MUCH larger than the difference in the groups (white male vs. black male or white fema

Why do you think black people aren't hired at well paying jobs? Isn't racism also in a way based on stereotypes that are often true? A business owner has no legal obligation to interview every applicant.

That's not empathy, that's helping others. You can help a person without really feeling what it's like to be in their shoes.

You can make the correct decision for the patient by wishing for the best outcome for them. It does not mean you have to have empathy for them. Empathy is the ability to place yourself in another's position. Let me give you another exa

Someone who has a lot of empathy probably can't handle being a surgeon in the first place. It would be too stressful for them.

Yeah, I had a DEXA scan T 191lbs and I was 16% BF. It's not practical to do this every day, though. But what I've found is that calipers actually do a good job at showing body fat changes. They're horrible for absolute values

Not really intelligible to Italian speakers that didn't study any Latin. Italian lacks noun cases. BUT, modern Russian still retains noun cases, multiple verb conjugations, rich aspect system, etc. that typifies Old Russian texts
