What basis do you have for concluding it was an anti-trans false-flag operation in this poster's case? Nothing in their post would lead me to naturally reach that conclusion. Downplaying or instantly dismissing this kind of anecdata

Yellowing in paper is a combination of factors, primarily cellulose content, acidity, and exposure to light, heat, and air. Decent bond paper from the 1980s will generally look just fine if it's stored in a dry box. It has a low acid

I see this argument a lot on here, and while I agree with it logically and factually, it totally dismisses the human element. Rice, beans, and vegetables are very nutritious and cheap but they're generally boring in comparison to a

In scenarios #2 and #3 very few people are winning. I think you'd be hard-pressed to get majority support against #1, which would be more generally beneficial for society than the other two.

I think the real product is the data of the person using the 'free' WiFi. The WiFi is a service designed to gain access to that product. In that instance, the data of someone spending £1,000 on a phone is more valuable than the

I remember this being a minor fad around this when I had my first, handcoded website hosted on the 5MB of webspace my dial-up ISP gave me. I'm pretty sure I heard about it from one of the other regulars on irc.scifi.com, the Sci-Fi Ch

Exactly this. I have a chronic wrist injury from a previous job. Physiotherapy hasn't really helped, and the only thing that does help when I have a bad day is naproxen (another NSAID in the same class as ibuprofen). I feel guilty t

Nice collection. I'm jealous. I missed out on the 15C re-release when it was available. I don't really have a use for it, but I really did want one. I've got a couple of 12Cs and an 11C. I use them occasionally, whenever

Interesting read and insight into a subculture I know very little about. Looks like only a few of them are getting rich, and it isn't without its costs. Working seven days a week as a professional gamer is pretty brutal.

It will sound pat, but I think it mostly boils down to youth, inexperience, and privilege. When you're successful early, you don't learn some of the lessons that make you wiser. When I was in my late teens and early 20s, I though

That's an option I've considered, but it's only really a temporary solution and might not be a viable one when I come to need a new laptop. My 2009 machine probably has another year or two in it, meaning that a 2012 machine w

I'd be interested to hear more about how that switch went and what obstacles you faced whilst carrying it out. I've posted elsewhere in this discussion that my intention is to do the same, for similar reasons.

IKEA does something similar to the Vitsoe called ALGOT -- probably not as fancy looking, but pretty neutral and versatile. You can buy sets or you can buy it in individual pieces and customise to your heart's content. Just yesterday I

At no point did I state that any of the foods you mentioned were nutrient poor -- I just said that some plants are among the most nutrient dense foods available. This can be true without dismissing other foods as nutrient poor. That even
