Yup. Depositing in an institutional repository usually takes effort by the faculty member. SciHub bots will put it in SciHub for you!

Yup. Pinterest is less about saving the URLs/pages, than about curating a selection of pictures and visually displaying them in a fashion-magazine looking manner. Pinboard doesn't do that last I checked.

What's the difference between trolling and toxicity? The words have seemed interchangeable in most contexts where I've heard them used.

Yes. As a psych major in college, I was astonished to find that the same major included, say, quantifying the changes in neurons in rat brains after rats were exposed to specific stimuli, and empirically unmoored speculation about supposed

To say a degree "guarantees" you such a job is very much an overstatement, though. (Even more so to imply a guarantee of "a pension when you retire at 65.")

A 40% increase seems pretty vast to me.

I had one cat like that (extreme agitation and threat displays through the window at stray cats). I have another one who, after his cat companion died, started exhibiting play aggression and increased clingy behavior toward me. When I got h

Since it sounds like they're getting plenty of socializing in on weekdays, is not getting it on weekends that much of a problem?

If the IV reduces or eliminates the discomfort of dehydration faster (which it seems it would do faster than hours of spoon-feeding?), that might also actually reduce the overall trauma level.

Get a (paid) lawyer? (I agree you shouldn't HAVE to in a society with a well functioning justice system, but that would be the obvious means)

It looks like someone is paying attention to this thread, since all these terms are on the blacklist now. However, I had wondered if the author's original intention mainly was to help cooks make a determination about non-obvious ingr

The recently popular "worst X ever!" idiom, and its variations, pretty much end my ability to take the person who uses them seriously.

Yes, they're not afraid of "flavor" in general (at least the ones I've encountered call for plenty of chiles, herbs, etc.) but the perceived harms of salt in particular.

Based on one of my favorite books, "On Food and Cooking" by Harold McGee, the scientific term is "pungency."

In the case of cucumbers, it's to extend the shelf life because otherwise they very easily dehydrate through their skins[0]. (The alternative is waxing the skin.) I've never seen an individually shrink-wrapped potato or bell peppe

As a hobbyist horseback rider, I can tell you what happened to people who genuinely love to ride horses: they became a hobby accessible to those with enough interest and money, and more common in rural areas (since as other comments have po

Would a beacon have to be a personally associated tracking device? I can imagine carrying a device that just broadcasts a generic "cyclist here, moving this speed and direction" signal, without identifying or being registered to m

Presumably not if you own the car. Sex in public (including in buses, subways, etc.) is already illegal in many areas, and cab-company equivalents would presumably get to set their own rules as they do now.

Would you not spend at least a significant chunk of that same hour traveling to/from and waiting at a restaurant?

> my own mother’s advice to me many years ago was, “Don’t have kids. They mess up your life and I regret it.” Hopefully your mother waited until you were an adult to give you this advice!

As a person who doesn't want children, I still hear much more of the "you're deluded to believe you don't want kids," "you'll change your mind," "you're a bad person for not wanting kids&q

Sure, the actual movie part - but the 20th century fox fanfare at the beginning? (I have heard nostalgia expressed specifically for that)

1999 (Dogma), not to mention 1994 (Pulp Fiction), was a long time ago, and things do change. Since then I remember Disney being one of the first big companies to get in the national news for offering same-sex partner benefits; they didn&#x2

The argument that seems to be espoused in this comment, and varous others[0], is that Disney only wants to make "dumbed down" traditional US-style children's / "family" movies and therefore will turn any compan

Serious question: why do people want this so badly? Just nostalgia? (Too young to have see the OT movies in theaters, so I don't have that) For me, sticking the cheesy fox logo and fanfare at the beginning of the movies would make them

Checking on a kid's whereabouts during an unusual event (snowy day) is hardly tantamount to "chaining" them or calling them 80 times a day.

That was true before the introduction of chip cards, though. The waiter's having to carry the card to the staff area of the restaurant, complete the transaction (by swiping), then return the card to you, probably interweaving some of t
