I have some insight into the high-end architectural world. You (in the general sense) absolutely can get houses of exceptional quality. You (as in Spivak) probably cannot. Because they are insanely expensive today. But these are bespoke,

No, I think not. The implicit assumption of his argument is that the origin and causes of the violence classify it as just or unjust.

From the article: Only songs released in the past 18 months get classified as “new” in the MRC database, so people could conceivably be listening to a lot of two-year-old songs, rather than 60-year-old ones. But I doubt these old playlists

I wrote something else, but actually, upon 2nd thought, you are correct. I do think morality is an invention. A quote (one of my favorites) describes better than I can. “Moral law is an invention of mankind for the disenfranchisement of the

Uhh, yeah? That was my point. Food has no moral value. It's just food.

Boom, someone finally said it. However, I think you can just turn this: > The sole reason - the necessary and sufficient reason - hunters find hunting justifiable is they attribute no moral value to the lives of non-human animals. Into

Post-breakfast you're good. I get peckish again around 4-5pm though, so watch out!

It is exceedingly hilarious that you took: 1. I drowned two rodents that lived, shit, probably bred, and carried diseases through my walls and attic 2. I eat meat and feel no guilt And then used that to call me a psychopath. Thank you for t

Your attempt to bend my morality to yours doesn't register with me, bud. Some things die so others may live. That is the way it always has been, and always will be, regardless if some subset of humans decides that "that's imm

Anytime. Total aside, I think it's funny that many 'classic herbivores' like deer, horses, moose, etc, will absolutely eat other animals if the opportuntiy presents it. Vegetarians and vegans have chosen a dietary extreme tha

There is no moral obligation to abstain from meat, whatsoever.

There's nothing immoral with eating things. Why would there be? The other posters' rabbit-fox example is a great point. I also strongly reject the idea that we need 'our specialness' to 'justify eating things and ho

Google is engaging in anti-competitive practices. E.G. Some nature docs I purchased unfailingly have "licensing issues" on YouTube on FF, but magically work on Chrome.

Agreed. Over the past decade I've commuted by some combination of all of LA's train lines, and the orange line, too. Red and purple and the best. Although purple's lack of distance degrades the value. Green, yellow, and expo

Unfortunately not the case. Tires go through lots of heat and stress cycles. I think most of the heat a tire generates isn't from friction with the road, even. It's internal friction within the tire itself. The carcasses are made

Yup, and Toyota Tacomas and 4Runners, too, as another example. They (Wranglers) hold value spectacularly compared to other models from the brands.

Is there a meaningful distinction in this case?

by wcarron 5y ago
Ahhh, sorry, no. Porsches, in particular the 911, are known to be cars that hold value for a looong time.

My idea? FB app stores data locally, uses this local data to pull ads onto your phone to be served/rendered. Don't need to send user data out. Just identify the ads this phone should be targeted by and render them as needed. Good

I would say VW AG is leading the charge among the germans, especially considering the volume of cars the group sells as a whole. The ID.4, the Buzz, the Audi E-tron lineup and the Porsche Taycan, just to start. VW group also has a long hist

My interpretation of their intent is they will no longer name suspects in "florida man" style stories. Like, really, nobody needs to know that it was specifically 30 year old resident Pimble McGringleberry who lives on 1234 S Main
