   Yeah, your point about the production costs is correct and seems easily generalizable. I don't think I can generalize the grocers the same way. This is an anecdote from 6 years ago, so take it that way, but in my area the average mar

   And even if it was, the uptick in price is usually quite high; it seems most groceries have the highest margins on things marketed as healthy/sustainable.

   Thanks for this, gave me a really good laugh.

   To add to your anecdote: I have a bill laying around where the asking price for the mri was $21000.

   We have long wait times here in the U.S. too, at least in my experience. Two months for my last specialist, three weeks for a gp. This isn't a competition, so please don't take it that way; what I'm saying is that, despite

   In my experience, most older people would be more literal: I told him/her, I said, I says (pronounced sez, informal). If it wasn't speech but another action, it would be similar. "I'm like" is probably from the 70

   I've not fallen down the D rabbit hole entirely, more focused on nim, but both of them can consume and spit out C APIs like nobody's business. See some great C lib you don't want to hack on, but do want to utilize? D should

   This sounds similar to the mobile approach, excepting that the underlying fs is heirarchical. Do you have any idea how this worked with paths in the terminal?

    I don't know what the music scene is like in your area, but there is a vast plethora of people who want to compose/improvise with others. You can turn your coding/art-fu into a social asset if you see how to use it. libcinde

    WooHoo! I'm very excited about this. For me, nim has been the perfect glue language in many ways. I hope other people will give it a shot, try out the https://forum.nim-lang.org or their subreddit https://old

    I appreciate where you are coming from. Many people understand that, physically, 'pirating' is more akin to copying than taking though. ..And then there is an argument that increasing the availability of content increases the r

    I've explained how the messenger app isn't the text messaging app (called messages), but the similarity still causes it to happen occasionally.

    For a long time, I would have agreed... Until my family began to confuse fb messenger with text messaging itself.

    I read a book that talked about the electrical activity around the posterior parietal lobe in people who have religous experiences. That lobe seems to orient your body in space. Shut off it's inputs and maybe it thinks your body is o

    Yes, indeed. Despite having commented thus far, I feel like debating whether the average american would be sadistic isn't very useful. Absent influence in the government, we (americans) don't have agency in regards to this. Nei

    I use median, because thinking of the guy in the middle of the spectrum seems to make more sense than averaging it into an amorphous person. I like math, is all.. I'm not sure what your statement about winning means, are you okay? N

    There are americans that think the earth is flat. I doubt the median educated american would want a billion+ people to stay poor.

    I don't see one of the impact probes having as much force as a meteor, but I could see it being enough to throw off a fragile system. Yeah, its not like bombing ganymede or mars' ice-caps. I'm just curious if they are going

    Does that type of aggressive research just assume that the systems being impacted are durable enough to withstand the destruction (2tons of tnt, in one of your links), or has that really been studied? I don't know the context of thi

    You joke, but, if a user can't spend time making something pretty then complaints are probably inbound. I think its a silly tradeoff for privacy. People associate emotion with everything though, and a communication app seems like a lo
