Are you referring to the clearing of Lafayette Square? That was a peaceful demonstration and no one was trying to force their way into the White House. Just watch the footage: you will see the police forces move in on the crowd completely u

Yep. Told them to go home hours after this insanity began and in the same breath continued to falsely claim the election had been stolen. Whatta guy.

Very nice analogy to physics/math. I agree: the "best" people are always working on the next big problem.

Cruz, Hawley, et al. helped escalate the situation to this point. This would not have happened if they weren't planning on protesting certification in the first place. There are degrees of culpability here. It obviously starts with the

And yet, none of your criticisms apply to transit per se . Really you're just complaining about New York in general.

> “It was a huge loss not to build it,” Koenig says, of the subway. “When you compare almost any city in Europe to a Midwestern car-centric city there is no comparison in the quality of life.” Ain't that the truth. It's very de

I think it's a problem for a lot of kids that it's hard for them not to be instantly good at something. Learning patience is part of growing up and gaining experience.

It is just a name. No one has cared about solar noon since the 19th century, when every town set their own clock. The point of timezones is for everyone to work from the same reference with respect to train schedules, originally, and now

> Comparing Germany to USA is pointless, very different government, history, culture, business climate, etc. What nonsense. Comparing two countries is not the same as equating them. Of course we can compare and contrast the two, taking i

So because there are people in wheelchairs nobody can complain about a suboptimal user experience on a popular website with hundreds of engineers making copious amounts of money?

Citation?

This PDF is a flyer on pest control, presumably targeted at growers of grain. Nowhere does it contain anything resembling the "analysis on animals killed per calorie" you referred to.
