   Beef is subsidized in the US? That is definitely news to me.

   Why do you disagree?

   I’m about to go all in on a Flutter. I need a cross platform mobile/web framework that doesn’t use JavaScript, and I’ve heard that Flutter is a joy to work with.

   Who the hell flies without luggage? Do you literally carry only your wallet when you take a flight?

   It should be required by law to allow a passenger to take one carry on bag when they book a flight. It is ridiculous for an airline to sell a plane ticket and then not allow the passenger to have a bag.

   Would it make sense for Argentina to just join the US? Perhaps they could come in as 3-4 new states and just become Americans?

    I have no idea why it’s such a big deal. People should come to terms with the fact that no one on Earth is irreplaceable.

    I lived through the 1980s and tipping for a haircut wasn’t a thing I ever came across —- maybe it was a class thing or something that older people with regular barbers did.

    Elixir may not be statically typed, but at least it isn’t object-oriented.

    I remember the days when it never crossed anyone's mind to tip a barber.

    It should be illegal for an iPad to prompt a customer for a tip greater than 15%.

    Yeah, I feel the same way about coffee. If I'm paying $3 for something that ought to cost $0.75, then I don't see why I should tip another $1 on top.

    I'm noticing several comments to the effect that "teachers" have some particular qualification to teach that other people don't have. But, at least in the US, the qualifications required to become a teacher are intended

    Hasn't homeschooling been the norm for our species for over a hundred thousand years and has only recently (in the last five thousand years) begun to seem abnormal?

    People just assume that other people must be abusing their kids. Sheesh. The commenter is describing a two-parent household with 8 children and a massive backyard -- the odds are that they're extremely happy and our commenter is just

    I guess if having friends, family, and a garage is "privilege", then more power to them -- they'd be idiots not to take advantage of this privilege.

    The beauty of the two-party system is that we have one party (the Democrats) who are trying to make society better, and we have a second party (the Republicans) who are trying to prevent society from becoming better. This is an ideal balan

    Everyone on Earth would thrive on a diet of only fresh red meat. I'm sorry you don't see it that way. A lot of people have made up ideas in their heads that cause them to be miserable and I'm not sure what to do about it.

    The research is a never-ending rabbit hole. I've told you what the situation is and you can either try it for yourself or live sub-optimally.

    You can just cut out all plant-based calories from your diet entirely and you'll find that you will almost effortlessly get in shape. All the vitamins and nutrients that your body needs are available in animal-based foods, including vi

    I would bet that the root of both is diet. A diet that leads to Alzheimers will result in a certain kind of gut microbiota. I would guess that sugar and carbs generally, along with fiber, are the problem.
