I aim to eat a high fat diet and I never avoid salt (my constitution appears to handle even very high salt intake without the common ill effects). So to me, the impossible burger is perfectly healthy. I'd only worry about trading too m

"But it's also true that if you eat meat..." Any meat under any circumstances? This makes your argument seem broad to the point of being useless. You're talking about a specific system, much like one can criticize ICE au

Italian-American cuisine, including places like Buca di Beppo, are absolutely not in the same vein as Taco Bell or Chipotle. Italian-American cuisine is a unique part of a culture that arose organically from millions of Italian immigrants

It appears that next year Sony will be releasing a console with similar specs to the PC I purchased last year. One key difference being that while the PS5 will be backwards compatible with PS4 games, any PC is backwards compatible with virt

There are a million legit reasons a person would need to use their phone while driving a car. But for some bizarre reason, most drivers find it unthinkable to simply pull over for 2 minutes to handle their business. If I need to fiddle with

How do you make it fair if one type of car is guaranteed to wreck the planet? Hard to level that playing field. But Norway seems to have done a decent job of it.

"Knowing this, landlords must estimate the future market and price..." No. Just because a landlord is saddled with low rent units does not mean they can charge more for vacant units. They can only charge what the market will allow

If you shoot yourself and die, you were not shot? I am pretty sure the hole in your head would argue otherwise.

Humans generally move easily from one nicotine delivery system to another but fail miserably when trying to quit nicotine all together. It's also very important to understand that nicotine, like most addictive chemicals, impacts differ

You asked for advice and mine is that nicotine is your addiction, with a lot of other components swirling around it, and you should decide if you want to quit nicotine or not. Patches, gums and vaporizers are just new and fancy ways to feed

Who cares about a bigger salary if most of the difference gets directly deposited in your landlord's bank account?

We all know that someone else's bad behavior is not a justification for our own bad behavior. At least I assumed we did. Our duty is to find better ways, not bullshit excuses to indulge in the old, horrific ways.

Sure an economic collapse in China would benefit the environment, but so would the economic collapse of the West. There are better solutions that don't involve trading human suffering for environmental protection.

I believe what I said was that science benefits from a diversity of "perspectives". But go on, rant against those straw men if it makes you feel better.

As a general response to all of the hatred directed at dealerships, I'd mention that I've experienced none of this nonsense when leasing a car.

The total tax amount in San Francisco is about 25%, nowhere close to 38%. Where did you get that number?

Can you explain exactly how "Hemp has been legal for a long time"? Individuals and businesses were able to grow and sell hemp in this United States? When did this begin and what federal action made it legal?
