Not quite sure my statement and yours must be at odds. There is a diplomatic solution to all wars. Likewise, there is virtually always a political reason for every war. If those in power wished, war could be avoided in nearly every situatio

All war is an unneeded evil. I do not need to look at dead and mangled children to know that war should not exist.

Though not a measure of IQ, the USA used to require landownership as the litmus test for voting. It might be a similar enough metric.

That's "sickle cell trait" which is when you are only carrier but do not have the disease. With the disease, malaria is even more deadly.

My uncle always said you have to put your watch onto the rest/stand that comes with it as those are designed to hold the watch at the optimal position. I never understood what he meant since I've always worn a Casio F-91 for as lo

True or not, there is something very clearly wrong with her and my heart goes out to her. If true, she's got one heck of an uphill battle if she desires anything from this other than ridicule. Her current profession/circumstances

FWIW the article never says to join at the app level. GP read wrong or something. The article says to shift logic to the application.

Eh, this is only up for question in non-academic debate. Virtually all academics regardless of their position have moved beyond this, sounds like you're working with 80s and 90s talking points still. We have Roman, Jewish, and other co

My insistence on only driving cars made prior to 2005 keeps making more and more sense. (2005 is just an arbitrary date I settled on, nothing significant about it)

I always avoid those kiosks. I prefer a cashier to a screen to the point that I simple do not shop at places which do not give me the choice to checkout with a human.

Yes that's right however usually shifts get moved around to accommodate. My father worked for a large fire department, so my understanding is probably skewed by a department with a lot of resources.

Most professional (non-volunteer) fire fighters work 24 hour shifts. This includes three meals and an 8-10 hours of down time. It wouldn't be too uncommon for a fire fighter coming off his day to et mandated another 12 hours, totalling

This is largely illegal here in the USA too. This article neglects to point out the fact that everyone except for the railway workers are either police, fire fighters, medics, or nurse which are professions that have legal exemptions from l

You're telling me that hot water is a utility in Iceland? You don't just get a cold line and heat it with your own water tank?

It wasn't so bad for me when I started in college. Everything was prepared in the cafe and had calorie count on it. When I graduated and got married we started making all our own food and that was when it became depressing for me.

I lost a lot of weight on a calorie restricted diet, from 215lb to 165lb over the course of a few years. But I gave it up because counting calories is soul sucking. I much prefer things like intermittent fasting or keto, I can think about w

Wikipedia is good? I find it a mix of good info and blatantly slanted. Not even just in political articles. > cambridge.org Ah, say no more

Bad idea, but even if implemented someone would have to elect to use the CA still right?

Not OP, but it's a pretty American perspective to see Europeans as very complacent with what their government does. If not a joke, this is probably where the sentiment stems from.

Then they should encourage European companies to do it, no legislate and muscle their way in.
