As a reformed tab hoarder, I concur completely. I do a nightly sweep where I force myself to save URLs for anything I need and close my browser completely.

Teacher salary is only one cost of educating students. You also need to have school buildings, maintenance staff, administrative staff, etc. Stingy states like Arizona are not overspending on education. They need to minimize waste AND spend

Medicine is not entirely based on science, so I wouldn't equate MDs to scientists. Lots of treatments are based on clinical experience which is more anecdotal and traditional than scientific. So much so that "science-based medicin

My dad etched his SSN on his tools back in the day. It was my student ID as well. Wasn't the SSN not considered secret until later when more transactions happened online instead of IRL where it was harder to impersonate someone? The ba

That's assuming the goal was realism. I fully believe our prehistoric forebears were capable of thinking abstractly and creating art that exaggerated reality. These figurines look to me like women with the dial turned up a few notches

It's a spectrum, so it's not whether or not you experience aphantasia but to what degree. Also, my experience is that I can imagine very detailed objects and scenes, but the happen in a second mental space, not the current visual

American agriculture already went down that path. This might be a global pattern following the adoption of improved technology. Is there a reason to believe otherwise in the case of Europe? Or maybe it's a multifaceted phenomenon.

Poetry will always have a looser syntax than poetry, almost by definition. Everyone has their own tastes, but it's odd to fault poetry for expressing itself poetically.

Books not published in the US often don't have a LCCN, so not great as a unique ID. Also if you're actually building a database, never use a meaningful data element like ISBN or LCCN as the primary key. What happens if you have mu
