Is this model actually taught in high schools at this point? I remember being taught about electrons with their valence shells, protons, and neutrons. That's it. I didn't hear about a boson or a neutrino until well into adulthood.

You can list and sell on mls yourself through a low cost "mere posting" agent agreement. A few hundred bucks. Why sellers want to pay tens of thousands in commission in a bidding war environment is a mystery to me.

Pushing these responsibilities onto individual consumers is not going to work. You're not going to win anybody over by saying "buy a bike and vote to make it more convenient". Instead, the change needs to come from above, and

Going to these lengths of rationalizing not drinking seems a bit absurd. Especially the one about taste. Someone says they enjoy the taste and the rationalization is essentially "you're wrong, it tastes bad, you just think it ta
