Also, a third order effect of oil inelasticity is that if it cost too much , it decrease production and trade (might be less true now, but it was absolutely true in 2010), it lowers global demand, so the prices go down. Which is why markets

Syria was in a civil war since 2015. The US (and Israel and Russia) failed to control their intelligence assets on the ground. Sadly we don't have Hillary's emails like for Lybia, so I can't mock France DGSE for loosing their

Depends on the pasteurization method. UHT will change the taste 100%, normal pasteurization might not. My grandmother used to pasterize her milk at a slightly higher than needed temperature, to separate the cream, and eat it on the side. Ra

Of course! Age verification laws for buying alcohol, tobacco (and firearms in the US) should be removed! They ruin our experience. The same way, keeping driver license behind an age gate is unnecessary, parents should parents! I was driving

I don't think any EU directive on gay marriage exist, and directives (accompanied by fines) is the main way for the EU to try to push laws on states (the other way if having a citizen go the the EUCJ against his own state, but that alm

I like pair programming. Not everytime or even everyday, but to shadow a junior a few hours a week, or to work with another senior on a complex/new subject? It's fine.

Comparing country by market cap will always favours the US while oil is traded in dollars, especially since passive investment is so big and dollar debt is so big. You ought to compare them on efficiency and/or profitability. If you re

Sorry, ban on priest marriage. Or rather, a celibacy obligation for bishop and priests. Which makes it a ban on children for Christians. I think it's in the 12th century that the rule was instaured, and was, let say, made effective by

Iraq was well planned. Since 53 the US plan the first days of the war extremely well. This is the first time a US war has gone this bad, this fast. It usually took months.

Yes, slight increase in that kind of accuracy. And newer models still generate absurd stuff. Ask for an historical picture, like 'a London market in the 18th century', and it is still as historically wrong as it was 2 years ago. I

So, if you want your argument stronger: 7k deaths confirmed, 6400 protesters, 200 regime officers, and 400 bystanders. Plus 11k unconfirmed dead, according to HRANA, so at most 18k dead during the Iranian protests. They also jailed 50k peop

Please stop with the '35k', you have no idea where that number comes from, it's not even good propaganda anymore. OSINT groups say 15k, human rights activists said they confirmed 7000 death (6400 protesters) and have 11k more
