They both present compelling evidence and can be thus classified as science. Darwin spent a couple decades accumulating evidence before he wrote the book. Also, majority of non-fiction textbook are about psychology, economy, sociology, hist

It's a perfectly fine question. A lot of nonfiction books contain their authors' pet theories, along with a bunch of anecdotes and handwaving to make them seem justifiable or even scientific. Some of them quote "scientific&qu

Painting can be very frustrating. Usually the process goes like this: you want to achieve something, you try for dozens of hours, the result doesn't look nearly as good as you hoped, and you have only vaguest ideas on how to make it be

As far as anecdotes go, I'm 100% opposite I guess. I have 2013 MBP, but have removed OSX and use it solely as a Windows machine. Nothing ever broke on it, and I use it solely for build quality and reliability.

I suspect that neither majority of men nor women are interested in feminist literature per se. Unless "feminist" mean "written by women" and not "in the spirit of feminist movement".

There are "feminist bookstores"? And lots of them? How do they stay afloat? - being a regular bookstore is hard enough.

The software engineers at the top segment in the Netherland are not working full-time jobs, but are instead pulling €800 per day (or more) via long-term contracts. Assuming you're working 48 weeks per year, this amounts to €192k per ye

If they're still getting qualified applicants at $100/hr, then it's all good from this point of view. In general, if jobs paid proportionally to technical difficulty, then theoretical astrophysicists would be making millions

Ok, but it's still not "extremely dangerous". Logging jobs have 4x the accident rate of delivery workers, what are they then - "omg, extremely, extremely for real dangerous"? I think all of those jobs are relatively

It looks great on the photos, but YMMV as far as the comfort of actually living there. I for one hate unnecessary noises, which you get plenty of from the fridge (even the quieter ones) and dishwasher.
