It is relevant in the context of the message thread it replies to. If you do think my reply was unwise, I'd be happy to have your explanation for why you think that, but I am fairly certain that platitude is the wrong word here. Maybe

Step 1: make sure your car is a CRV...Later: feels like the $1600 power supply and $400 sleeping bag should be an either/or proposition, but I guess it depends on the climate.

Thank you! I do prefer to defer to a framework of Bohr's than to Zizek's.

The article begins by analogy to cartography, in which, the First Law of Geography[1] "everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things" applies to the space defined by the surface of

I know your ending question is a figure of speech, but since we are imagining it simultaneously, it's more or less by definition not crazy at all.

Probably helpful bias calibration for those unfamiliar with Zizek. Interesting that perceived sides and the not content of the message should carry such weight. A person with differing views and conclusions on some issue can still convey in

Serious illness, bad as it is, is a lot more predictable than fear/security driven social engineering, and when cover-your-smile is rolled into cover your cough, I'd expect unintended consequences, socially, developmentally. You m

Add up all the businesses that have failed and you'll find plenty that disrespected some of their customers. Walmart is a much higher bar geopolitically, but bet they have to jump too when word gets out of malfeasance. But it is a pris

I don't know that questioning this idiom breaks the guidelines. If not a shill it sounds like an ask for more resources, to save the gray whales or study the oceans, or something. Either way, "a precise cause has yet to be determi

I'll have to read Simon, but I'll be looking for some stable types of responses to uncertainty, not rational but adaptive: reversion to past/training, confusion, overreaction, etc. ie something prevalent enough that it can be

Has anyone considered altering wave patterns to increase ocean surface reflectance? Like a Fresnel lens magnification in reverse.

I believe I have illustrated a mismatch between QoL for an individual and for a state in aggregate. Your examples only illustrate simple behaviors, and do not show that there are negative and positive contributors, only isolated incidents a

I'm just going to concur with GP: as someone who has looked for advice for songwriting on guitar, the writers I look up to almost always wrote with a piano. If your quibble is with "most", and your musical tastes are somewher

Since no one is perfect, it is so easy to find such a person, that it is every person. National-level quality of life as an average of states that can make either choice is like some states littering and some states cleaning up after them,

Fair clarification, but my other points stand.

Not a trick question. The quality of life I am talking about is apparently different from yours.

Apple is smart enough to determine what's in an photograph, but if I paste text into a sentence in iOS I still need to manually add spaces and format punctuation. I will never forget the time iTunes deleted my music library, or it&#x27

Hopefully, in between the moral sponge work they do, occasionally gaze over a growing history of mugshots, years-left-in-sentence reminders, and death notices for the producers of this content, their enablers, and imitators.

This is the flipside of GP. States that increase their quality of life by sending their problems to the states that would attempt to solve them. Name someone alive who does not contribute to the quality of life.

Interesting but counterintuitive, at least to me. How do you determine homogeneity is this sense? What evidence suggests this to you?

The authorities you appeal to here are evidently as delusional as this particular human canary they so confidently and cooperatively caged up. What the authorities need is competition, or else continued abuses of their monopoly are certain.

Yeah sure, but I'm not sure accountability for who knew what and when is the concern here. Maybe you are on to something? I haven't the faintest.

At times it seemed to me that repeating stale guidance was the only acceptable messaging, and I found it to be thin data with a somewhat chilling effect. Other influences abounded, but the effective knowledge transfer was disappointing in m

Absolutely not, especially as information changes. Is it so hard to understand that new information should change the message? That varying the message could reach people the old message did not? Their job is not to be decisive, it is to
