School systems are already run at a sub-county level, and depending on your politics you can pick which things being taught are abhorrent.

There was no change in the evidence on masks between March and April of 2020. This is retconning the CDC’s incompetent messaging.

That study only compared age at death to life expectancy at that age. Since those who die from covid are generally in much poorer health than average, the real number is somewhere much lower than that, although I’m sure finding a way to est

Transoceanic flight wasn't cheaper when it was first introduced[0], it took economies of scale to bring the price down. Additionally, the fact that Australia is a day away and Europe is half a day away is a major factor in why I have v

If they're on Find My Friends, they had to consent to that proactively. The dog's AirTag is less accurate or constant than what they're providing already.

There is a pretty wide span of time between catch and "unfit for consumption." This particular product may be totally lying about how fresh they froze their fish, but it's still not an oxymoron.

by jdminhbg 6y ago
That's not an oxymoron. It means they were frozen right away after being caught. A similar term today used especially for things like shrimp is "Individual Quick Frozen" or IQF. Shrimp are frozen on the boat that catches them

The cost of 12 months of a dating site is trivial compared to the benefits of finding the right person. If someone offered you a soulmate if you gave them a couple hundred dollars, you'd take it in a second, right? Paying ahead actuall

It can really depend on how much air circulation you can get. In a high rise, you will need AC, but if you’re in a house you can easily manage with open windows and ideally a fan in your roof that can pull air up and in. There are very few

No, this is wrong. The context for “we” is “most of the so-called Communists I met.” He is describing the people in the movement as temporarily embarrassed capitalists. It is the opposite of the apocryphal quote, which has Steinbeck positin

Steinbeck never actually said this. The closest he came (“temporarily embarrassed capitalists”) is actually in a description of the socialist movement itself, not its opponents: https://hellyesjohnsteinbeck.tumblr.com/post&#

It's pretty hard to take this seriously given the total lack of legislative participation in business closure, school closure, mask mandates, etc.

We've changed the rules for every single part of life and society because of this massive emergency, with no idea what the long-term consequences of doing so might be. I'm not sure why the FDA should be excluded.

This is a vaccine for a disease that has killed over half a million people in the US over the past year, not a new breast implant. The rules are not some holy writ handed down from above, they are our way of trying to properly manage risk.

Citing "years of research" that nevertheless demonstrate a product has side effects as bad or worse as a reason something should be allowed is status quo bias.

In standard American English, 'praxis' is a Marxist shibboleth. For a non-loaded term, you can just use 'practice.'

This is becoming less true as technology has made total market indexes easy and cheap. Instead of buying the S&P 500, I can buy VTI, so TSLA was in my portfolio before and after, to no real effect.

Getting a big price for the company isn't the only motivation for going public. They have employees and investors to take care of, even if they'd be 2X bigger in 2030 or something.

The description here of using the Clojure REPL for development is one of the best I've seen. I think part of the issue is nomenclature -- Read Eval Print Loop applies to lots of systems in lots of languages that many devs are familiar

> Ach! I forgot you don't have electric kettles in the US because of some crappy power supply issues! We do have electric kettles, although I take it they don’t heat as fast as yours due to the difference in power supply. That said.
