I agree with you for the most part, but what happens when you've got a damn good manager? They exist for sure. They're just unfortunately a minority.

What's the medical system going to do about a parasite that often doesn't cause any symptoms that can pinpoint the particular pathogen? Most healthy people clear the infection without ever knowing anything happened. We don't

It looks like it's names for individual dogs, broken down by letter then by the type of dog. Houndis and braches, male and female hounds respectively. Tereris I'm guessing is terrier. Greyhoundis and greybicches. I don't k

Written by someone who doesn't know guns and doesn't know bows. I think I got about halfway through. It's just weird. They say the arrow is pressed against the string with the thumb ring on a thumb draw (not how it works)

Could have venemous spines on the pectoral fins. If I were going to be a venemous flatfish, that's how I'd roll.

Until recently, the bear honey was basically all you could get at the grocery store. Now you can get some real stuff as well.

I don't know if aunt jemima and similar brands of syrup count as "fake Maple syrup". It doesn't say maple syrup on the bottle anymore. They usually say "maple-flavored syrup" at worst, or just "syrup&quo

There are people producing foie gras nowadays without force-feeding the animals. I don't know if that's what the shop linked above sells or not. There are humane ways of producing it, though unfortunately I think the majority is

Cost cutting is definitely to blame for how understaffed hospitals are. Then Covid happened and it got even worse. It's definitely not all due to Covid though. Even the "not-for-profit" medical group in my area has been pus

That makes more sense than them not being able to parse out the sounds of subsequent letters after working out the first word. There's been so much work done on reconstructing what the proto-Indo-European roots of modern words might ha

So it definitely descends from the Phoenician alphabet which is also what the Greek and then Latin alphabets descended from. The Etruscan alphabet, Cyrillic, Arabic, and Hebrew are all related in there as well. It doesn't seem too far

I can't agree with that. Napster, Kazaa, and Limewire were determined to have been breaching copyright law and the business model was determined to be illegal. There's no parallel here.

Weren't those three all sued out of existence due to copyright infringement? That's very much a different reason for failure than what's going on in crypto.

The comment you're replying to is talking about discussion of the experience (hopefully after the fact). I don't think that they're claiming the bodies are being disrespectfully handled. I'm assuming they're talki

Is it the people who ran the study claiming 1 in 20 is 4% or the person who wrote the article. Either way, it's a heck of a rounding error.

Petsmart makes you sign one or at least used to. For the groomers that they sent to training, it makes sense. For the cashiers, it ought to be illegal to have them sign it even though it's mostly unenforceable. It's an intimida

Carlsbad, NM isn't a big town. Head Southeast from there and it's quite a large stretch of land that's not used for much besides oil exploration, some cattle grazing, and the WIPP site. The population density is so low in t

Play around with it. Years ago, I was in a tiny town trying to teach kids to ride horses. It was a volunteer deal with a poorly-organized group. I was a fairly solid rider who had learned horsemanship through a patchy mish-mash of getting

So, the idea that sails work by the wind blowing on them from behind is a common misconception. They actually work like an airplane wing in some ways. I'm going to skip trying to remember all the technical details from the last time I

I haven't done much since I was a teenager, but once you have a feel for the basics, even non-standard diagrams are plenty to learn a new pattern. It seems so complicated, but most origami comes down to just a handful of techniques.

To be clear, I haven't tried any of them, but the diagrams seem pretty thorough. I'd imagine if you've done origami before, you'll be able to work it out with some trial an error. I'm certain there's some ver
