I'm very ignorant about these matters but I thought we all shared the vast majority of our DNA? I mean as humans are we not all 99.9% the same ... DNA wise? What does the 1/8 mean in this context?

I think choice is a big part of the problem. We have too much choice about the people that we have in our lives and the basis of our interactions with those people. We're much more reactive than we like to admit - therefore having peop

"Solitary" is what you're referring to. Loneliness is by definition a sad condition: "sadness because one has no friends or company."

Given how often we've seen people shooting the messenger in our field, we probably should save our commentary until the outcome of the trial. A lot of corporate leadership are extremely paranoid and that's why whistle blowing is s

Google can easily prove they were evil even at the time they first deployed that corporate motto. It's interesting to me that we fell for this at the time. I mean if someone says to you at a party "I'm a nice guy" well i

As far as I can tell the one I have was made in France in the mid 1970s and is irreplaceable.

A garlic press. It's the only thing I ever asked my parents for that they owned. They had it since the 70s. The reason I know it's great is because all the others I've ever used are inferior. This one is in two distinct piece

It's because we're all a bunch of salty nocoiners that spend our days wishing we had got in on the ground floor. As the famous saying goes: "It's hard to make a man understand something when he could have been a milliona

There was a product I ran across in the noughties: Razorname. Its tag line was "So good it named itself". Doesn't seem to be around any more.

Yeah it's conceivable...but: 1. Uber isn't big in Ireland, so not so reliable 2. Taxi or Uber won't wait for me to shop 3. Taxi or Uber won't have appropriate child seats for my kids 4. My car cost 1,400 euros and is use

Think the double question mark is a tad disingenuous there. Everyone will have their own peculiar circumstances. We, for example, are a family of 4 and our shop for ten days is I would guess 30/40 kilograms. The grocery is 2.5 kilomete

That's really interesting to me. How are the finances raised? I assume there is a service fee. Do you have to handle collection also? What legal body is the employer of the staff and how many are there? In Ireland/UK there is a no

My view is that this is part of the single most important narrative that all news media ultimately contribute to: the story of the lead up to, causes of and justification for war. We are a civilization based on sanctified violence: nowadays

Lots of people hum and haw and get things totally wrong. The question is not how fast you jump but how well prepared the ground of your thought was for the situation.

I don't know why but I find watching extreme weather very calming. I feel almost hypnotized watching that video. I notice that there are a lot of videos on Youtube of stormy weather which people use to help them sleep. So I guess this

My kids are 100% vegetarian from birth and I can't say we have observed any issue whatsoever. We do ensure they eat a very varied diet. We do get their bloods checked from time to time and nothing notable there either. Of course it&#x2

What exactly counts as a link? Because I linked Pope Urban II to Corinthian Leather and found no actual link between the penultimate article Leather Crafting and Corinthian Leather.

I think the OP would make a stronger case if they were more literal: they had exactly 1 dispute according to the evidence provided. In a sense the idea that you could be shut down for one dispute would be even more extraordinary.

Hard cases make bad law. In other words basing our precedents and rules on extreme cases is not a good idea. While extreme cases are useful for illustration and thought experiments, they are quite distracting when the real issue is small va
