Public transit generally uses all the same materials, just less of them.

If car insurance really is a cartel, then sure, market forces won't work. But in the absence of a cartel, the generally expected outcome would be that safe drivers see lower rates than today and dangerous drivers see higher rates than

I think your parent comment is alluding to the attempts by certain groups to massively expand the use/scope of the word "violence", e.g. the "speech as violence" idea.

FWIW I've zapped myself with a shock collar before using it on my dog and it's a lot more like, well, "shock" as in surprise mixed with discomfort. I would almost describe it as like instantaneous onset of the feeling of

So, in your eyes, where should the privacy line be drawn? Is it OK the insurance company knows the VIN number of your car, the make, the model, the miles, the color, your name, age, address, credit score, credit card information, marital st

If they aren't going anywhere, you can clean them effectively, and the gums are happy, then maybe you don't care. But if they are getting worse, you can't clean them well, etc then you run the very significant risk that you&#

Do you have anything supporting that? My observation has been the kid loses interest somewhere between 1-2 years- the moms aren't cutting them off. Solid food is generally much more interesting.

Only if you eat a modern diet. You can't blame our teeth for being ill prepared to handle coca cola.

People also care about healthy straight teeth and a nice smile, so it's not like you're getting nothing.

The spine worked pretty well until computers, as far as I understood.

Aren't those basically lingual braces? Moving teeth and fixing your arch doesn't require or necessarily involve mandible changes.

Read somewhere a few days ago that Southwest, operator of maybe the most 737's in the world, didn't like the MCAS on the MAX and that extra "package" was essentially customizations/modifications created specifically

It's always seemed to me like accurate risk profiling is a positive thing. We don't mind that smokers pay higher rates, for example. After all their projected medical costs are more than double. Otherwise, nonsmokers would be forc

Single-stream recycling may well have been an illusion. Certain types of plastics, too. But clean streams of many types of recyclables are even today still plenty profitable.

OpenBSD is great for a VPS, especially a small one. The minimal install has an incredibly short list of packages, which I like & feel helps keep everything working even over many years of following updates. It's just so much simple

Yeah, but what pesticide? I don't really mind if my food get sprayed with lots of ethanol, lemon juice, or soap, which are three organic-approved pesticides.

Are you being intentionally obtuse? I just described two ways. There's Right of first use, Riparian rights, and my pet illustrative example of treating it as a publicly held asset to be sold... There's other ways beyond those thre

It's a market. The first owner sets the price at whatever point they like, balancing their interests of revenue, protecting the resource, and so forth. If people are arbitraging & selling the water for increased prices, the first o

A real & important question, but by no means an impossible problem. E.g. suppose "the public" (e.g. gov't, as with public lands) owns all of it in the first place, sells it, and uses the proceeds to fund water projects. A

Yes, compost, no-till, etc. You can't put the worms & microbes there, but if you build it they will come. Soil with a higher organic matter content & microbe population absorbs & retains moisture better than "dead&quot

Low refined carb definitely, but most of the diet patterns with a long track record of health (e.g. think blue zones) contain plenty of complex carbs. Sweet potatoes, whole grains, and vegetables all feature prominently. IMO what's &qu

By weight maybe, but by relative composition, 80% of the calories in broccoli come from carbs.

I don't know, I don't see how you're coming back from his savage & well-reasoned deconstruction of your core argument.

If the root cause is straightforward, I would be inclined to expect once they figure it out it will never happen again, given all the attention.

It's a kinesis freestyle 2. It doesn't have slick trendy features aside from being split, and I am not madly in love with it. Instead I would say as it's mostly invisible to me, which is exactly what I want out of a keyboard.

1) Is it worse in your mouse hand? Don't overlook the mouse. 2) Is the KA2 wide enough for your shoulders? A split keyboard was the ticket for me, due to the set of my shoulders.

I generally agree with you but FWIW most of the corn (90%+) grown in the US goes into animal feed, e.g. for cows. Which is of course its own little tragedy, considering you get 1 calorie of cow for every 12 calories of corn.

Everybody likes being part of the protected market. That's part of the problem- "Well if you're going to protect dairy, and you want my support, how about you protect my steel too?" (repeat, repeat, repeat)
