I could never understand why some people don't understand that people buy into a community because they like the community in the state when they bought into it. And that making large changes to the community would alter the community

Like I said, there are cargo cults everywhere now that don't quite get the point and to likely detrimental effect.

Read the history of the activist group/network "ACT UP". They used non-violent civil disobedience tactics to raise awareness of AIDS, etc. They utilized and in many cases pioneered dramatic and disruptive actions that gained

Typical modern codes of conduct (broad, arbitrary, politically motivated) seem to me to exist solely as a case of pluralistic ignorance. Besides a few true believers - usually those that gain a sociopathic leverage through them - most every

I think it’s more of a “bruh look at all my wing nuts, whoa” type thing rather than a classification and taxonomy chronicling the history of the wing nut.

Flag Football sounds interesting. I’m curious if much of the world will compete in it. Looks like a fun format with a small field, 5 players per side and clear rules - 4 tries to get a touchdown. And very fast I’m guessing.

I’m kind of surprised bowling was an event (briefly) but now is not. I don’t keep up with it but I’ve somehow been bowling in a variety of countries. Is it the professional game is just too biased towards the USA? I believe top player is Au

It traps moisture which leads to mold and for wood to rot. You nearly never want to install insulation without a vapor barrier. And especially not with spray foam. People do it because it’s cheap to do. You only have to punch a small hole i

It’s not arbitrarily expensive though. Training doctors is expensive. Regardless I don't know how to square the idea that altruistic people won’t become doctors because of debt with the reality of humans responding to incentives and we

I want them to be competent. This means rigorous training and stringent examination. Competency means effectiveness and we need to incentivize our brightest to do this rather than write code for ads or trade equities and bonds, which requir

They should be. I want people to be incentivized to become doctors and engineers and to pursue other difficult fields that are of immense value to society.

The problem is a person is loaned money without collateral. If not gov backed then there won’t be any loans. The idea was to make college something attainable. But it has become the monstrosity it is today. In lieu of collateral make the un

The author is correct that the universities should have to co-sign for the loans. Having skin in the game would transform our university system overnight for the better. I’m sort of surprised there hasn’t been a class action lawsuit yet cla

Starbucks has pivoted from coffee shop to desert beverages, pretty much. They still will sell you a coffee but they feature a variety of desert drinks.

Agreed. Making super viruses to show what could possibly happen, however unlikely, is the epitome of hubris. But boy is it a great to get funding. I do wonder what the calculus is when comparing the chance nature could mutate and successful

A good ENT will also advise against these surgeries if possible. It's very much last resort. Removing the Uvula can create serious swallowing issues for people and in general the surgery success rate is essentially a coin flip, with no

CPAP machines are pretty incredible. Sleep Apnea also destroys your lungs and puts you at much higher risk of a variety of lung diseases over time. Your heart, lungs, mouth, and significant other will thank you.

I remember reading once that the average Martini glass has a lifespan of 3 uses in a bar environment. Very thin and easy to chip.

What they would do is quote a much higher price since they’re aware the prospect isn’t price comparing and probably thinks they’re getting a deal because “they’re already here”. Why on Earth would they risk a higher priced job cancelling so

It’s why you need “enough” data. Generally the distribution of teens is a power-law distribution. There’s a set of common terms and a very long tail of other terms. This will be the case across every shard if you do in fact have enough data

Maybe but probably not since they likely have jobs lined up for the next few months and aren’t about to work for less than they know they can get. It’s not like these guys are taking a horse and carriage 50 miles to a town to setup camp and

For me it would have been over $400 since I have over 40 individual windows. I’d do it for $150, maybe $200. But not $400. I’m guessing he was able to pull a few though. As for the “in the area” thing, it sounds logical at first and I’ve he

I think it's because Twitter doesn't bury and ban moderate and conservative opinions now. It feels like there's more balance today. I'd say in my experience I've seen more of the far left voices I follow move away f

I think you're thinking of Tabasco. Which is supposed to be bland as it doesn't exist to impart new flavors so much as rather make the thing you're eating hot and slightly acidic. Serves a purpose. Hot sauce is a spectrum of
