> I said, “Twelve is the most amazing number, because it can be divided. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 all go into it.” It’s just a richer number to me. Yes, she gets it. It's a great number to use for casual human interfaces. Hence the foot being

The version of this game played by American kids is (was?) “pencil popping”. The idea being you take turns trying to break your opponents pencil by flicking it at theirs while they hold it on both ends.

China stopped being real communist because they were tired of starving. They are the proof that a centralized managed economy only leads to stagnation at best and mass death more commonly. Today they are a very competent cartel that takes a

What’s satirical about it? Why would people want a world where they are forced to live on top of each other in small places if they don’t have to due to plentiful energy and vast material wealth? If some new age Protestant needs to live wor

The main reason is because Americans are unbelievably wealthy and can afford large homes that require multiple cars for the family to get around. It’s a positive sign of American prosperity and the envy of the world hence the massive immigr

I think the point of the article is that Kudzu isn't really a threat and hasn't taken over nearly as much as people perceive.

I can live without beer. I can do without liquor and cocktails, I suppose. But I absolutely cannot imagine a world without wine. What a terrible place that would be.

Yeah in that case then I’d get them re-tinned. Might not be the easiest service to find today. I’d still prefer the modern ones though. They’re so good. By far the best cooking pots/pans for many use cases.

Perfect! But instead of giving people money they didn’t earn we’ll instead cut taxes so people have more take home money to pursue the things they’d like to.

It’s great if you’re not precise and just want big sears or w/e. That’s fine for certain things. And anything acidic leeches so it tastes metallic. I think once you learn to cook the limits of cast iron become clear. Great for certain

Again this was solved a long time ago. And even with tinned pans you’d have them relined. But with stainless steal linings that’s not needed. It has been this way for decades. Get with the program.

Modern copper pans are lined with stainless steal. Falk in Belgium pretty much makes all the copper material for cookware by using high pressure to fuse a thin layer of steal to a thick layer of copper. This makes the pans safe for any acid

I've always been surprised they don't require door and window manufactures to put warnings on them stating that opening them exposes you to cancer rays.

You can't, or rather shouldn't generally, cook acidic foods in cast iron pans. Plus cast iron is really poor to use for many types of cooking since they don't react to changes in heat. Saying that it's good to have one a

America is actually really good at circulating elites. You can’t be the most powerful country the world has ever seen for considerable time without it. It’s not practical to expect the circulation to cycle in a generation though. But it wil

You have it backwards. It’s not for smart kids to find rich people. It’s for rich people to find smart kids.

The entire reason you want your smart kid to go to these schools is so they can become friends with the rich kids from a legacy family. By banning the rich kids from them it makes the entire institution useless.

Golf is boring to you because as you said, you suck at it. When you can play well enough to execute reasonably well the strategic aspect of the game opens up. But yes, match play and betting do make things fun in their own way too!

In this case though the defense never even challenged the evidence or if it was sufficient. You “regularly” hear about it because it’s so rare that it’s news if it happens. It’s a very rare event. Read the background here and tell me you re
