There's quite a bit of research to back up his assumption. Every article I've read on the subject bemoans the situation of black women and at the same time points out they have no interest (statistically, anyway) in men of other

And this is what I don't understand about the politics. Support for the drug war is strongest among African American leaders where you'd expect it to be weakest.

I'm also skeptical of the "whites take more drugs" argument. The ratio of black to white drug arrests is roughly the same as the ratio for those of violent crimes, and you can't explain away the violent crime ratio by a

The key isn't the marriage rate, it's the prevalence of intact families. Scandinavians don't marry , but they do live together and raise children together. The prevalence of intact families (meaning children living with bo

Then why is paternity fraud legal? Where I live a woman's husband is on the hook for her child if it was conceived while they were married. Even if it isn't his and/or they divorce before the baby is born. Does that seem r

>How do you figure that? There are 19 women heads of state in the world right now, out of 190-some countries. Worldwide, only about 22% of parliamentarians (MPs, representatives, etc) are women. I'm pretty sure women make up more th

I don't see how that will ever make sense. The only way you can guarantee your house will have enough power is to overbuild the storage by quite a bit. It's not worth the money.

It may not be A/C. A pool with a single speed pump plus an in-ground hot tub could conceivably run between four and five hundred bucks a month for heating. Of course if that's the case he could save a couple hundred bucks a mont

Why aren't they connected? Is it just too expensive? Seems like it would be a big advantage to do so.

The root of the problem here is storage is more expensive than production.

This is all nonsense. The number of people making threats is tiny, and they're on both sides. The reason those lists exist is because people on the anti-GG side have built very fragile bubbles to live in.

Yes, I would, though we both know that's a spurious comparison. For one thing, since you don't control the block list, and you don't know the people who control the list personally, you have no idea who they're blocki

Anybody using lists like ggautoblocker is far past the point where groupthink began. They're not blocking "hateful" responses - they're blocking anyone who disagrees with them. This is just part of an ongoing slide into

It's not just promotions. It's pay raises and bonuses. It's influence to get on the most interesting projects. Also, everywhere I've been that had layoffs the telecommuters were the first to go, regardless of their ski

Yeah, this is why I wouldn't work from home. At least, not full time. If you're not physically at the office people tend to forget you.

I would be shocked if any of that was actually easier than getting the landing right. Vertical landing without special arms or pads has been done a dozen times by now - DC-X, Armadillo, JAXA's RTV, Project Morpheus, and especially Spa

One plan I've seen for ISRU on the moon is to use a Al-Lox hybrid engine, since Al2O3 is all over the moon's surface. I wonder if there's enough on Mars to do the same thing, or if you could do something with iron oxide.
