   I actually much prefer the years of LBJ to the power broker. Caro uses the extra length to go soon much deeper.

   I think you are just wildly wrong on 1. These waivers are a part of graduate school support for most if not all Phd programs. I.e. I do research, take classes,and perhaps TA. The university pays me a small stipend, and pays my 'tuition

   To be honest I find a lot of what you wrote here irrelevant. The goal of mueller is not to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that russian support was effective. We can't prove what caused millions of trump voters to be persuaded. (Howeve

   Are you serious? Donald is SIGNIFICANTLY more pro-russia than Hilary would have been. Ex-post facto that justified it. Actions of Donald: 1. Intense skepticism of NATO (Russia hates this). 2. attempted to remove sanctions 3. Return spy comp

    the legacy fighters are pretty old airframes and I think even the new blocks are going to be outclassed in any seriously contested airspace. the real comparison should not be between the f35 and f16. it should be between the f35 and a diffe

    I'm not sure the uchicago sell off is because they are cash strapped. probably because uchicago feels like it no longer has to ensure that hyde park experiences urban decay (aka why they bought the buildings) and to shift those funds i

    I found him in some tabroom results for LD and public forum-so he definitely competed at least a little in the events he criticizes-but I agree it seems a tad deceptive. I feel bad attacking his credentials-I am sure he was a fine debater.

    This also reminds me of how often people on hackernews complain about scientific papers of being overly technical and abstract..The complexity is to a large portion necessary to communicate meaningful arguments instead of 'used car sal

    yeah this actually exists..there are a LOT of debate circuits that basically only allow parents to judge so you are being judged by 'typical' citizens.

    I think it's this event. I assumed he was talking TOC or the event you posted. Ive never even heard of this format.. But it looks pretty dull in my opinion compared to ld or policy or even parli https://www.regis.org/ar

    I second this. Debate was really fun and if you didn't want to talk fast there were plenty of lay tournaments and forums.

    I am not sure why you are being downvoted. I think this is clearly true. An easy way to make research accessible is to write a monograph!
