My family cared for 50-150 layers who were given free range during the day to go wherever they wanted and a safe coop at night with plenty of room for everybody with cool roosting spots. Even in this configuration, the chickens were massive

As an observer, with no prior thoughts on the book, I appreciate reading both your thoughts quite a bit. I think there's great value in considering a thing based off of well-articulated contradictory arguments.

I'm not familiar with the book at all. It's interesting that you took the misogyny to be breathtaking yet it's not mentioned on the book's wiki page at all despite having a fairly detailed plot "overview". Do y

I don't even know how to gauge whether something is obvious or not. What qualities does an "obvious idea" have?

To extrapolate on your point for those interested: The analogy I'd give is from physics. Understanding the prime number structure is like understand how an arbitrarily complex 3-dimensional shape will interact with another equally arbi

I had a couple year stint where my job involved me flying 1-2 times a month. Not crazy compared to the road warriors but a decent amount of flying (almost all the flights were from one coast to the other so always long). After going through

> Some of the longest-lasting institutions in the world are non-profit. Is it just some or is it all? Honest question, the only very long lasting institutions I can think of are not for-profit.

Why does it have to profit?

Yup! But beating some people isn't what people calling winning. Sometimes I've heard people say they won their age bracket, but even that's always qualified by the scope of their winning and still suggesting that they were at

Or his profit margin is large enough he's never needed to actually consider his costs. If that's the case, I'm guessing he learns a thing or two if he ever expands to the point where his margin gets compressed enough to need

I think there's an additional difficulty when those unfamiliar with more rigorous (as compared to pop sci anyway) physics/mathematical discussions. There is simply a great deal of unintuitive interactions to keep in mind all, at o

Bands typically are using in-ear or floor monitors. Main PA latency won't affect their playing because it's not what they're paying attention to.

Sure, I'm not meaning to be an apologist for people in Rubin's position. Only meaning to say that a focus on organizational lines is not appropriate for somebody like that. The article itself points this out several times as if it

I think what I was responding to was the implied causal connection between the lack of an "institution" of marriage causing instability in cohabitating adults. The article and linked research don't make that assertion.

> The downside is that when they do have kids outside of marriage it's a worse situation as the families are less stable without the institution holding them together. Do you have any data backing up this assertion?

I wonder if the difference in PTT vs voice activated has to do with the common games being played at the time. PTT is mandatory running an MMORPG raid with 40 people. Voice activated is perfect for playing a game while talking with 3-8 peop

Being able to point towards a subset of pollution which is regulated does not necessitate the entirety of pollution as regulated/political. Pollution isn't defined by political fiat. Your argument also doesn't hold considerin

Pollution, by definition, is something that causes harm: "the presence in or introduction into the environment of a substance or thing that has harmful or poisonous effects." I have no idea why you have this idea that polluting is
