Are any of the mental health apps not just glorified pillmills?

Nonono, this regulation is a conspiracy theory. How could NYT print such disinformation.

Assuming those eyeballs would ever hit a legal streaming site. By the time the content airs, the advertising money's mostly been made and traded already. In the terrestrial broadcasting world -- this is most definitely the case.

I never said the greenhouse effect was poorly understood, however I will for a fact state that the overall climate system of earth is relatively poorly understood. If you must insist on making wild strawman arguments, I recommend you read a

Glad this one wasn't shot down.

And yet comparing a simple chemical composition of water and the effects of a particular gas on a large and very poorly understood system is somehow less tripe? Please.

I am being pedantic, but there is no such thing as settled science. No matter how solid a theory is, no matter how well-proven, it will remain unsettled in perpetuity.

I see them about as much as I see the Hyundai equivalent, and they all appear to be owned by folks that live in the local capital city.

45-55 out here, realistic speeds are about the same because flat ground is at a premium.

Must be somewhere in the flatlands then. The small(er) truck market is dominated by Toyota, Nissan and Chevrolets and Ford Rangers. Mavericks are mostly city-dweller mom-mobiles at best.

Hi, I live in the boonies, and own one of these minitrucks. a) They do 60mph ok if you have a four-speed one. Five-speed ones will do 70 just fine. b) country roads are generally 45 in most states. c) chinese minitrucks have a hell of a lot

Laid off in october, founded a company in december. The bootstrapping path is a long and lonely one, but better this than go back to slinging code and being an underpaid middle manager.

Wasn't this something that was being pushed back in the 1980 s?

Post-1917-pre-1930-ish eastern european/north asian history in general is fascinating. However, even moreso than most histories, it's been politicized, warped, twisted, rewritten, and wiped out by any number of ruling groups to fi

Ubuntu held out for quite a bit with upstart, but.

by slackfan 4y ago
That is nice historical revisionism, considering Canonical was all in on upstart.

The "aren't worth it" argument is entirely arbitrary and not backed up by a shred of evidence. Why defend bad journalism?

Article does not give a single not-smart-tv option. The journalism quality is outstanding .

The hilarious bit is that what kicked off this particular shitshow was Chuck Wendig who I personally regard as a two-bit hack "writer", perhaps best known for his god-awful Star Wars books. So glad to see nerd culture basically be

The statue of David comes to mind immediately. It's been canonicalized like that for over over 500 years, yet I don't hear anybody saying that it's not ok, or talking about how it projects an unhealthy stereotype of men.
