An article that further highlights the point I made - they site some groups getting more acne when adapting a “wester diet” (not just milk), and fail to address all the easily found counter examples rested to dairy. But that paper is only 1

Okay fine, let’s go willy nilly spread nutrition advice based on stretched conclusions from limited studies because diet advice totally doesn’t have a history of misinterpretation and trends later found to be wrong. Let’s upend diets on thi

No, that would be a highly contrived straw man reading of what I said. Can we not do that? my argument is that while Irish people did suffer a lot of diseases over the millennia that dairy was a major component of their diet, those diseases

by mint2 3y ago
Irish history shows that milk does not cause modern western dietary diseases. For a long time dairy was a highly prominent component of diet, far more than today. And in American milk consumption has plummeted since the 70’s, these disease

Wait and see where Wagner ends up in Belarus. Watch it be some convenient spot along Ukraine border. I’m not saying that was the original plan, but even just moving 20K Wagner troop as part of the deal, even with no intention of attack, wou

It’s weird that I barely see any comments like that. most people seem to be simply saying the game is silly because it’s so contrived and gives no definition of vehicle.

by mint2 3y ago
Except the top comments aren’t doing that. They’re all saying it’s a flawed contrived example and despite that the actual results show most people agree. And not only that, the questions get ranked by decreasing agreement which shows that

The world isn’t black and white. It’s typically shades of gray and requires judgement, discretion. And consequences of breaking a rule or law require even more judgement. The world isn’t a “smart”contract.

by mint2 3y ago
Following the letter of the law or rule to an absurd conclusion without any common sense is a typical example of bureaucratic nightmares. It should be comforting that people are able to use independent judgement when faced with a nonsensica

No pill capsules in the park then? aren’t they a vehicle for delivering medicine?

by mint2 3y ago
So is a dissolving pill capsule, which is a vehicle for delivering medicine, allowed in the park?! I get what the author hopes to do, but it’s really a bad go at it. Although perhaps that’s because arguing a losing position is hard.

Same, the only three I marked as violating the rule were the car, the police and the ambulance. And it told me I agreed with 11% but showed a bar chart showing that basically everyone agreed with me. It was confusing. Also breaking a rule i

In that case, By the way cars don’t know how to approach fire trucks, fire hoses, and caution tape it’s is very apparent whatever they are doing in the closed is a failure or grossly inadequate

Perhaps they’re better than sugar, but so far isn’t the science showing them to be also detrimental? After quitting soda and sweetened beverages for a while, my tastes adjusted and now soda of any sort is insipidly sweet and syrupy. Basical

Oh I dunno maybe because it’s courteous and not selfish, or maybe it could be because posted signage often informs drivers that it’s Mandatory for slower vehicles to pull over if x number of cars are following. Yeah why would people expect

How do these companies not have a simulator built to help train cars for simulated non-standard scenarios? Have dogs, kids, fire trucks, caution tape etc and run them with 100k variations. And then do real world staged validation. Actually

Big toes poking inwards is a huge issue. It’s a awful terrible design that makes no sense. Also people don’t get shoes that fit well because they don’t know shoes that fit well exist because they barely exist. Altra and Topo make some shoes

When function is sacrificed in the name of looks, it’s pure vanity. When something goes beyond that and actively causes harm in the name of looks, it’s vanity at the worst. I agree Crocs are ugly. Shoes don’t have to look like crocs to be a

Toes are jammed together because shoe toe boxes are not foot shaped, on most shoes they are shaped purely for vanity. In other words we still do foot binding, just milder. Hello bunions and foot issues! And the width is set at average, so i

It’s in the name: speed “limit”. It’s not called “only allowed speed”. There are many reasons one should travel slower than it such as rain or to let vehicles pass. for clarity, a safe driver would maintain a lower speed to allow the car li

80+ sounds too high. 80 is good. Stopping distance is not linear with speed, damage in a crash is not linear with speed (hello deer), gas usage is not linear with speed. No one who drives over 80 has grounds to complain about gas price, esp

Isn’t the speed limit 70 on I5? Those going 65 are usually trucks passing other trucks.

by mint2 3y ago
That sounds like a passing lane, we have those too. Those are usually nice although occasionally they are only long enough for 1-2 cars to safely pass. It doesn’t help that slow vehicles seem to often speed up for passing lanes. But a pull

So in essence you’re saying it’s actually worse that they’re targeting those with ancestral ties than not? My objection is that the way it’s been phrased in this thread it’s almost giving the impression that “it’s not an American issue” tha

Note, the type of mask is pretty important. An n95 for particulates isn’t going to stop vapors nearly as well.

Toluene is often used in place of benzene these days. That one methyl group makes a significant difference, but I still would avoid unnecessary exposure.

Regardless of ancestry, an American permanent resident is an American. Same with any country. It makes no difference whether China is only targeting people whose ancestry traces to Sweden or Xiamen. If they aren’t a resident of China it’s n

Okay the various car commercials that advertise basic economy cars by portraying owners of all other cars as sheep or similar works. Essentially all cars are sold in the tens and hundreds of thousands to people who live in generic suburbs w
