So your colleagues all created accounts between forty and seventy minutes ago to make positive comments (except for one account that's existed for two years, but has only ever commented on this guy's stuff)? Even if this is the ca

If the goal of a jury is to be unbiased toward the person on trial (attempt equal representation from the citizenry), wouldn't biasing the selection now violate the right of the defendant to trial by jury of peers as much as the instan

This doesn't seem purposeful. It seems like someone finding confirmation bias because a group more likely to identify with their beliefs has been partially left out (in this case). At least for the "anti-black" case mentione

They've got a bunch of other cool projects, too: https://tboox.org/project/ I wouldn't have thought to look, but I saw something about xmake the other day (by the same people). I still am probably going to s

I'm not sure, but it's worth noting that we will all be exposed to much higher levels than anyone dealt with in the past. It's possible we just haven't had enough non-ionizing radiation to notice it, but a lifetime of e

I've used this one before, and it does a good job: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wi... It's great for finding unused channels for your AP.

A good reason why, at least in Houston, is no zoning. I had a friend who had every area outside the HOA taken over and covered with office buildings, apartment complexes, etc. by stupid MetroNational. There's now a very abrupt line b

I think people can accept change in language as it pertains to new contexts, but I really don't like it when people just don't bother (especially with misuse by native speakers). This is especially true for those of us who don&#x

This feels like as much an attempt to typo-squat on the existing tld. I don't know why else they wouldn't go with the Spanish equivalent. Also, if they want it for tourism (the other possibility), I don't see why they have

True, but let's say I start an apple reseller and want store.apple. That would be just fine on all counts; should Apple Computer have every instance of the word "Apple" reserved for them just because they're bigger? It

The difference is not just profit margins, but very different capex and opex. Capex on oil rigs is large (especially offshore), but opex is pretty reasonable. I would imagine iron mining has much higher opex. A better approach it may be

And we're back to the time issue. Also, I'm not sure I should have to do that much to food (destroy the internal structure, cook it, and cover it up) just to make it palatable.

For me, one issue is the forty-something percent stake tencent has. Both in that I don't trust their software and that I have serious ethical concerns about directly supporting china. I know it's essentially impossible to not bu

I mean, I don't see a reason why not. I tend to start with an assumption that it's fine until I find something contrary. I'm not sure I'd eat it, and I still think the burger bun, fries, soda/milkshake/chocol

> what type of carbs? When I say carbs, I mostly mean grains, potatoes. I know most everything contains at least some, but it's a bit of a colloquialism and hard to avoid. Some occasional beans, oats, etc. I tried eating more of

That's probably part of the issue; I fall more into the athletic 3-meal-a-day category, and I really just don't do well otherwise. I never counted calories, before or after, but gained a good bit of weight in a month when I tried

It's worth noting for anyone that advocates this sort of diet that it is a luxury. Many people mention that you can make good food on such a diet, but it is doubtless time-consuming. What of those who work by the hour? And the ingre

People who have already made their money love to call for this sort of thing. They're rich enough to be insulated from it; it hits those who might actually try to get rich in the future.

"Happiness activities" are fine, but I'm not sure they should be subsidized by taxes.

And it's interesting how many people paint it as showing that it simply didn't decrease the likelihood. One would think that before handing out actual free money, a benefit out to be shown (not just an absence of harm or loss). M

Seriously? You're comparing a job you don't like to slavery?! Unless you have people who whip you if you run away, it's not, and it's pretty insensitive to compare it to that. Show me the gun being pointed to your head

Volunteering is one possibility. People are just going to replace their jobs with doing free work entirely? If not, what else will they do? According to you, crocheting, knitting, bingo, and dancing.

A sizeable portion, maybe, but certainly not all (and probably not even most). Do you think crocheting, knitting, bingo, and dancing are honestly good things to put people to do? Let alone pay them for?

But there's a lot more risk for the investors, and there's a lot less money for companies to buy their products.
