My theory is that people act like jerks behind the wheel, and come across as jerks even when they're not, because drivers have no way to apologize or ask please or do any other polite thing. All they can do is honk the horn, which is l

Solving that particular problem is not hard: trash any reply to a celebrity or viral tweet that includes a link and gets reported x times. There was a good Twitter thread on this recently, pointing out that we look for complicated solutions

If we're looking for good examples, let's keep France and toss Canada. I maintain that Canada's system is one of the main reasons the US doesn't go single-payer. We're close enough to see how bad it is, and people a

What is with headline writers? > The last major tremor on the Hayward Fault was a magnitude-6.8 event that happened in 1868 -- exactly 150 years ago. So the region is almost overdue for another one. "Long overdue" is not "

You honestly think any alert human driver would have slammed into her as fast as that car did? I saw her in the video soon enough to have reacted, and I figure my driving skills are average. And that's assuming the lighting really was

The definition of a secret society is that it keeps its initiation rites and other activities secret, not that it keeps its list of members secret. Membership in a secret society is often public information, and in this case, as you say, it

Disagreeing with you again. Controversy doesn't happen just because people ignore facts. It happens when the facts don't lead to an obvious conclusion, or when there aren't enough facts to go on, so intelligent people can rea

Controversial issues are controversial precisely because there's no "basic sniff test" that fits all the data. If you find you come to an easy conclusion on a controversial issue, you might not have all the information others

> this first permit is comparable to an athlete stretching before a race. We have not yet begun. Sounds to me like this first permit is more like an athlete shopping for running shoes. This is really preliminary.

Autoprefixer doesn't take care of this for you. You either write a bunch of -ms properties, or get your preprocessor to do it for you. Here's a working example: https://codepen.io/ksenzee/pen/OzRejj

"Grey for a couple of months"? Are you an Amazon recruiter? Seattle had nine sunny days over a five-month period last year. It's objectively one of the grayest places in the US. Without the perfect summers we'd be fools
