It sounds like your friend may have missed some of the more critical points of the approach. Let me try: * My boyfriend went DJing three times last week, * but when he leaves, I feel lonely (n.b. this is different from "him leaving mak

According to sfgate[0], peanuts contain all nine essential amino acids, though they are relatively low in methionine. This can be supplemented with "almost any other plant food that is not a legume," including staples like wheat,

Can you humor a dumb question and tell me how you got the manual in your terminal? I'm on Debian, and when I `man make`, I just get a typical GNU CLI util manpage that's five paragraphs of intro and a line-by-line explanation of e

Even easier, peanuts are _very_ protein- and fat-rich with almost no carbohydrates. I boil and can a kilo of peanut soup every two weeks and chug a can for breakfast every day—25g proteins, 50g fat. Pouring it into a bowl with soy milk make

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, economies of scale mean that the efficiency of mass production should be far, far higher than a bunch of people individually making their own at home, especially when the alt-milk you’re ma

I agree that it's ethically dubious, and wasn't trying to defend the move by any means. However, I _would_ contend with the assertion that "there is no good way to articulate just how much power is handed to Facebook when you

In an odd twist, this is precisely what some tech critics have been pushing for—for consumers to be monetarily compensated for the data they're giving up to tech giants: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17595564

Their first-customer discounts and incentives are pretty enticing. I live in Taiwan, where Deliveroo gives you about $3.50 off your first order, and delivery is factored into the price. A friend of mine ordered a $6 pizza that she ate half

As a matter of principle, I would rather just do the chargeback (and get it really fixed somewhere else) than use it as leverage to negotiate for what I want on the spot. If a company is prepared to stiff me like that, the convenience of ha

If this were truly the determining factor in the American obesity crisis, we'd see similar outcomes in all developed economies (which, obviously, we don't). Let's not throw our hands in the air and blame the quirks of evoluti

Thank you for sharing this; I just posted a pretty aggressive response to another comment advocating for shelters, but I think I need more of this perspective as well.

I have so many bones to pick with you—please don't take this adversarially, but you are broadcasting a position on an important moral question, and I think some of your ideas and beliefs deserve to be re-examined. > Shelters are onl

You selected the mean ($388,585) instead of the median ($55,876). One is America's average net worth per person (adult); the other is the net worth of the average American. Given that these values differ by over $300,000, that's a
