Thanks for immediately providing an example of the kind of person mentioned by the commenter you're addressing. I'm confident you did a lot of reading of Reddit, the correct blogs, and are member of sympathetic Facebook pages. An

Russians call that last thing "shuba," coat (for the herring). One of my favorite things. Glad we agree!

Also, considering that the advocates don't seem to change their behaviors or lifestyles even marginally, the folks listening feel like the burden is being put on them. Why would I not take my family to Disneyland when I see private jet

When I visited Paris, it was the scooters that annoyed me to no end. They sounded like two strokes and were everywhere. Will they be banned too?

It's a way to show you're doing something without actually doing it. You become pure light beaming good will on the world, unable to do wrong. The one who has to implement the policy will have to pick winners and losers, make conc

Perhaps universities should stick to education and research. Perhaps reshaping society should not be a direct goal.

If you look at what the provost titles contain, you will find an urgent need to fulfill some political task or to be in line with some political trend. Education (learning how to think) is no longer the main goal of universities. The goal n

I'm in Michigan, a manufacturing state. The reason for the timing is all the factories at full capacity from 7am to 7pm.

This is already being done in some places. Where I live the electric company offers a plan that charges different rates based on time. 7pm to 7am is super cheap and 3pm to 7pm is super expensive. 7am to 3pm is just kind of expensive. The pl

Wrong explanation. Jets still use more energy dollars per person flying and you're not taking account of subsidies for trains, though there are others for planes as well.

You mean they're run by Christians? Is that now considered a moral failing?

If this dispute was between any other peoples it wouldn't be here at all. Try to remember the last time something between Tibet and China being discussed here.

It's some kind of obscure internal agricultural export dispute. Perhaps you can explain why that's interesting..

Superglue is used in medicine, including heart surgery, to bind tissues.

How would one know ahead of time what requires licensing and what doesn't? Does applying wallpaper? What about cleaning the clothes dryer's exhaust pipe? Electric is obvious, but did the accused here actually know that tiling and

Isn't a murderer who served his time still a murderer after release? Wouldn't you be careful around him?

Please speak for yourself. I do my own electric work and I can use an app to create an eye glasses prescription, though electricians have to be licensed and optometrist are only ones that can write a glasses script. How about filling up you

What about unhooking a toilet? Or installing a new kitchen faucet? Filling gasoline into your car is extremely dangerous too, which is why in Oregon and New Jersey trained professionals are the only ones allowed to perform the task.

There are no federal elections in the United States. All elections, including for selecting federal officers, are run at the local level.

It's not that wasteful if you consider for much water is used by a toilet flushing after a wizz.

American toilets essentially suck water, pulling everything with it. Euro toilets just dump water from above. The disadvantage of Euro toilets is that they become dirty, which is why there's always a brush nearby. Also having that step

Let me guess... You are talking about yourself with a lack of realization of your status. BTW,I lived in California for 5 years and left. I know what's up.

Some things, such as freedom of speech, I believe are universal and a government should need a very good reason to restrict some aspects of it. Therefore, access to Wikipedia should have been allowed to continue while the case was being run

If you consider that California is now controlled by rich people that want the middle class to leave to make more space, things like this make sense. The poor and immigrants can stay since someone has to cook, do the dishes, and take care o

Here on HN there's a regular argument for trains as an alternative to cars. Seeing how I end up using the train once in a while, I'm always bothered by the lack of cleanliness of public trains and how people come and go, touch thi
