Except for the red meat this sounds a lot like my low-carb keto-like diet. Curious about the red meat though. Seems like a hot topic since I read a lot of conflicting 'evidence based' information on it. Unfortunately my trust in t

I meant baths were not constructed the same way all over the world. You described a specific soft kind of wood and a particular construction method.

I appreciate you explaining this. I'm not an expert on the history of baths. I may be wrong but I still think the tubes you're describing are the exception and not the rule.

Being part of a (STEM) college faculty, I communicate with scientists on a regular basis. They are usually very polite and precise in their language. Sidenote: nothing wrong with tone policing most of the time. It is exactly what parents do

Because of the word 'dirty', which was the point of my reply. Dirty language.

Wood stuff does not preserve? Other furniture does. And even then, they need iron bands to hold them together. Also, rain barrels.

James Lindsay claims to be the first who used the word groomer in this way. See his blog on new discourses.com. There is more context to this. Grooming is an established tactic of pedophiles and studied by scientists. It involves breaking t

No, but 8 year old are kids too and Maus is definitely not for them.

I agree. I think we have taken a wrong turn when we 'decided' to ditch the extended family. As I get older I increasingly feel the deep wish to live with the ones I love in a group. Including my children and their children. This b

> It's pretty clear to me that YouTube wants to steer you towards content _they_ want you to watch and not content that you want to watch. This is it. Exactly.

Not a solution but using event sourcing would have prevented this.

You're right. I'm in the EU, my family is mostly teachers and all too often I find myself outraged at the lack of vision, the incompetence, the ineptitude of my countries' officials to address the decline. Instead they opt fo

You seem to have a distorted view of conservatives, maybe based on the extremes. Most conservatives want everybody to get a fair shake as well.

College teacher CS here. You are right. Virtual teaching sucks. But that's not the whole story. Remote teaching can work for highly motivated people with lots of discipline. And the younger they get, the less often they'll have

I worked as an 370 ACP/TPF Assembly Language Programmer in the 80s. I think this is referring to Gary DeWard Brown who wrote books about assembly language and JCL for example. Don't remember if they were blue though.

Can you explain the exact steps more? If I press spacebar, the mouse pointer turns into a camera.

No. If I make a case about poverty and include an overly abrasive comment about some filthy rich person I would hope my argument wouldn't be dismissed for that comment either. And this is the last I'll say about this.

I don't think two comments that seem to have originated unfiltered from the heart of the writer necessarily pollute his other arguments in the article. In public discourse it pays not being overly sensitive.

Nothing wrong with freedom of expression. Having an opinion or expressing yourself in uncomfortable terms isn't illegal, and I see no problem with this. Agree or disagree and that's that.

Me too. YouTube recommendations have been seriously bad for about a month now. I get ideos I’ve already watched and all the interesting recommendations don’t show up any more, it’s become completely boring.

I teach CS in college (in NL, not the US). In the discussion about online teaching many forget to take age into account. Age differences are huge. Let me repeat that: Age makes a huge difference. Especially below 21. Take my 18-yo and 22-y
