Which peoples is this not true for?

Of course. 1960s Maine college campuses were one of the darkest, most depraved, periods of human history.

You wouldn't want to live in, say 1960s Portland Maine? Say as a professor of English literature? Seems pretty sweet to me.

Is that really necessary? The moon has no atmosphere so "celestial" navigation is unhindered by weather, and can be done during the day.

I thought that was a cooking issue? That is Americans like rarer, more parasitic prone, cooking. Would this be a concern in a traditional salume made with (albeit Italian) wild boar?

The whole point of GNU is having control over the binaries run on your local machine. Today our situation is far worse than that, our data is held and processed by third parties. The advantage of the latter is so great that Big Tech no long

"There's dozens of us!" I kid. I've been using Debian as my main OS since about 2012. Once Steve Jobs signed Flash's death warrant, Linux as a desktop became feasible. Its bitter sweet though. Linux is feasible beca

The guy who agrees with me reads Ivan Illich!!! I've never read too much of him (no time, I have many of his books), but his argument that cars, on average, have an effective speed of 5 kph blew my mind. That flipped my understanding

- the Model T had a too speed of 40 mph. Hardly a speed deamon - Horses dont do 30 mph sustained - Horses eat. A lot - Horses need care - More horse riding would be a good thing

I live in suburban USA, and I don't appreciate those who would flash impose transportations "solutions" solutions on us. City folk love to impose costs on others. Thats why I insist that this is a 100+ year project. Our curr

Which is what? About 25 000 km? Doesn't sound unreasonable. Ive seen studies suggesting it might be an extra order of magnitude. If you assume battery capacity as a limiting factor, EV don't even break even compared to hybrids. Ca

Hydrogenated oil milk solids and sugar? The only real cream in an aerosol can Ive ever seen was in Canada (it probably had sugar) Everything else is vegetable oil. Which is weird, whipped cream is so easy and so delicious to make at home!

Can you make a "CMOS" three voltage level circuit though? One where the only current flow is when the state changes? Im not in this field but that's a question that's been bugging me for a while. Off you can't do th

They've become vermin in suburban PA. I once counted a dozen of deer on my 1/4 acre property just grazing. During dead-deer season (early spring and late fall) I can easily count a half dozen dead deer on my morning drop off routi

"Unlike the Catholic Church, the Orthodox Church was not bothered by liturgy being celebrated in different languages." Well that's just plain wrong. Sure, Rome (not the "Catholic", the East calls itself Catholic too

30 years to reach nominal parity? Normalize out inflation and the Nikkei still sucks - despite Japan's infamously low inflation.

by thsksbd 3y ago
And you are forgetting that the index's underlying measure, the yen, has lost value and the NIKKEI has only reached 1989's nominal value.
