I wonder how risky just walking outside is if you don’t talk to or touch anything and you’re not in a crowded area. Certainly more than sealing yourself in a room but I wonder if walking past someone briskly with your hands in your pockets

Same. Didn’t go crazy but got more of the less-perishables that I’m going to eat anyway. Maybe 90% of the rice was gone, ditto for cooking oil and other staples (mid-atlantic us south). Fresh vegetables and meats and everything else really

Why should they find an alternate group? I thought the purpose was to address alcohol addiction. And to what group should they go?

That is, to a large degree, a distinction without a difference. Large US research universities are more similar than different in most aspects including status as legal entity and (perhaps more important in practice) in how society sees the

just a few reasons not to use the library: 1. New popular books take months or even years (looking at you harry potter, got a call from my local branch 2 years after I bought the book that it was ready to pick up) to become available. I kno

You claim that the author is gaming the system, then go own without backing up that assertation. Are you saying that because Quora said it was so, that it must be true? Quora offered money for questions, OP provided...questions for money. I

I hear this a lot, but like others are commenting, I also hear a lot about Windows XP boxes with word 03 setup w/ the macros they need running to this very day. I'd love to see something other than anecdata.

Talking glibly about a situation in which thousands of people died is not a great way in general to get people to your side. No, when people’s lives are on the line and a building might be brought down due to an airplane crashing into you,

It’s shocking because even after terrorists murdered thousands of people by ramming a plane into a building ,corporate executives were asking people to stay at work in the surrounding buildings.

It's legally required because even with a prescription, an untrained person can't just walk to a hypothetical drug store with everything on the shelf and safely select what's written down. There are too many chances to make m

Why does that bother you? Putting this instance aside, I am not aware of a single person who believes legality defines morality in 100% of cases. Furthermore I have not met a single person who does not believe at least some illegal events w

I'm sure locals and many others know far more about this than I. I'm very happy with Germany's 2050 renewable plan which is way more than my country would ever think about doing.
