If you like Watership Down I don't think I can recommend enough H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald. While the books are very different, one is a novel the other is a memoir they both touch on nature, death, life in beautifully similar wa

The moment where Bigwig tells Woundwort that his chief rabbit has told him to defend the run and so that is what he is going to do is one of my favorites in all of fiction. Both for how it shows Bigwigs characters growth, what it says about

While this is a good thing, I can't help but be a little bit sad. I liked the idea that while meters and seconds were defined by some natural process or law, the Kilogram was something that physically existed, that you could see or eve

Speaking for myself I'm not negative about the core idea. I just think sometimes someone comes out with a good idea and investors act like it is the greatest deal of all time!!!!

I agree that they aren't the only two variables, but I disagree that it tells nothing.

Your metaphor is ridiculous. Plenty of people prefer Starbucks coffee to DD, claiming that going to Starbucks is a "lifestyle choice" in 2017 is absurd. People go to Starbucks because it has products they like, primarily a variety

I don't think that is correct in this instance. The example comes from this same author a previous time here: https://www.vox.com/2016/10/4/13160624/medical-bills-birth-d... . Here is a quote from a

If they do tell you it's not like they'll fine it binding either. Or good luck finding an error in billing in what they give you and then successfully contesting it. There area also all the ways they slap on random charges. The ar

Torture works at hurting people. That is what it is for, that is what is always has been for, that is what it always will be for. Everything else is just a way people try to justify things. "Power is not a means; it is an end. One does

I think the lack of a magnetic field is an equally large problem. Anyone living on Mars is going to be getting pretty huge doses of radiation on a yearly basis.

by neaden 9y ago
Worst case scenario Earth still has 1g of gravity, a breathable atmosphere, a magnetic field keeping most radiation out, and a temperature that you can live in without dying in most places. It'll still be way more livable than Mars.

Well the Credit Reporting bureaus would make less money that way, so they can argue against it. And since they're the ones who have to do it and pay lobbyists, they get what they want.

Once again I want to make it clear I'm just an interested layman, not a historian and claim no expertise on all this. I think the problem is you are picking and choosing what you think is true from a given text, and then offering up an

"Same stories, rebooted with new cast members that are more relatable." This isn't true at all and I'm curious at what gave you that idea? Specifically I mean of stories with the names changed between Egyptian religion a

The Roman's crucified a lot of people, I would think they had the system pretty well down. In general what you are talking about is Euhemerism, trying to figure out the "real story" behind myths/religious stories and my

For most of US history we didn't have term limits either, it was just a tradition after Washington didn't run for a third term. It wasn't until 1951 that it actually became law.

I mean, only about a third of hockey games have a fight, and usually it's not that dramatic. Part of the issue though is that fights are partly for players to enforce unwritten rules about sportsmanship, so if you got rid of fights the

Why didn't Canada rebel? Australia? Falkland Islands? Malta? India? Nigeria? Belize? Tunisia? Samoa? Puerto Rico? The Philippines? Guam? Most of the Caribbean? In fact, off the top of my head the only times that you saw a colony rebel

Says who? Plenty of empires had people living that far without rebellions breaking out. Yeah the US rebelled against Britain but Canada, Australia, and a bunch of other places didn't. Hell, most of England was more than a couple days a

by neaden 9y ago
I'm sorry but this is just silly. Just because something happened in a novel published more than 50 years ago does not at all make it likely to happen in real life. The Moon is much less habitable than we thought it would be in the 60s
