It should be easy to do flowcharts in pic (1). It's also more diff-friendly. GNU pic can target LaTeX directly, if that helps.

The trick seems to be to avoid subvocalising (where possible).

Competitiveness, for one thing. Then there's the play deprivation, which isn't too good for the social skills in general, and externalises your locus of control. The topic at hand, paranoia, or at least distrustfulness, is practic

If there's one thing we've established by now, it's that unsolicited instruction doesn't work: * Merrel et al, "How effective are school bullying intervention programs?" * Smith et al, "The effectiveness o

You sure we're not behind the Stone Age? The mainstream paleoanthropological position is that hunter-gatherers were completely egalitarian socially. Inequality is something that came up (resurfaced actually, because apes have it) onl

A single staff can switch between different clefs, if you ever want to redfine what lines mean what notes. Then you can switch back to the normal treble clef. That double treble clef is called the super-treble clef and I've only ever s

The only reason I even know what this is is that I just happened to go on /r/all that day out of boredom. And I go on Reddit, like, every day.

Oh, and there's already a notation within the standard system for your first proposal: a treble clef with "8vb" written below it.

The more sharps or flats the key has, the more the need for putting them in the key signature, not less. Otherwise there'd be sharps and flats everywhere. And you wouldn't be able to determine the key by looking at one bar. Expe

The best way to do that stackable staves: see the last two lines here: http://i.imgur.com/tqZRXzt.jpg Ledger lines preserve the melodic contour but it's harder to read the notes. 8va's stay within the regular five

This is a perfectly valid comment until it's proven wrong. I don't think it should be "LA LA LA I'm not list-en-ing"-downvoted.

In the case cancer, I heard the reason it's good is that the cancer cells die off faster than the normal ones do, when they're not being fed.

Might just be a case of more intelligence => more depression?

If that were the sole reason, then men would be looking for women that are funny, too. They're not, so there's more to it than that.

That's true, but it's also true that you can only add so much stuff to the syllabus, and then there'll be too much school. You've got to draw the line at some point. Why not draw it at boring computer stuff that barely a

You can teach maths on a blackboard. Can't teach maths on a whiteboard. Don't ask me to explain it, but it's true.

Maybe his thought process was that giving the age twice ("elderly" and then "70" -- do you need both?) would be redundant, so that the redundant number might not be an age.

and the reason I'm saying that is that the main argument against me on that subject seems to be: "rape is very bad because rape is very bad". also: the posts were shadow-deleted. also: I can't even comprehend how sensiti

I can't remember everything I've written, but I don't see that anything's been deleted. I'm sorry if I can't accept it as an axiom that all rape is equally bad... Are you. seriously. saying. that just because s

Acting shocked at something doesn't make you right. What can I say, I just can't see how there's much difference between 1) a woman being very forward with you and 2) a woman being very, very forward with you. There is a di

Having the same name as an often-violent crime doesn't automatically mean something is that bad. Squashing an insect and setting a mouse trap are technically killing, but there's nothing wrong with them. I think you first need to

heh. Is there any part of that that's concretely not true? Humans all over the world have come up with it independently -- I dunno, unless Muslims and Mormons shared notes. I could even go further and claim it to be an almost pan-mam
