There's always the Post-9/11 GI Bill. 36 months of tuition at the most expensive in-state rate in whatever state you attend school in plus Basic Allowance for Housing equal to an E5 with dependents is quite good.

I mean if you start licking it or chewing it you might, but normal usage just wash your hands afterward and you're fine.

We don’t live to make the line go up - we make the line go up that we might live. What is in an extra half percentage point in the GDP that’s worth taking away one of life’s joys from people?

> Affirmative Actions seems to just be reversed racism. I.e. in the end more-or-less still unfair. It's not even reversed racism, it's just plain old racism. The only difference is the targets of the racism are European descend

What do you do in your jeans? I wear the same pair daily to do pretty much everything. I work, I shop, pick the kids up, walk to my parents house, do yard work, hike, literally everything in the same pair of jeans. I don't think there&

I don't think it's realistic for you to expect your jeans to last a lifetime. I buy decent jeans once a year. The new pair is for daily wear. The old pair is retired for manual labor. The old-old pair is retired to when I crawl un

Why? AR lowers are ludicrously cheap and common. You're going to need a generally "rifle-like" form factor for ease of use, so why not go with the most common design, and save money on things like pistol grips, buttstocks, et

Doing business with the USA is also directly sponsoring terrorism. I don't see a big moral difference.

Evangelicals are not Puritans, nor is there a theological ancestry from modern evangelical christianity to Puritanism.

I'm still not convinced teen pregnancy is a bad thing. We evolved to have children pretty young. Running after toddlers is way easier when you're younger than when you're in your 30s. If I'd had kids at 19, they'd b

We can determine what race you are, with extremely high probability, from your DNA sequence.

And that is to some degree also fair. Both sides have a point in this discussion.

>Meritocracy is a myth. participants have too much variability on starting points and environment for the concept to have any usefulness. That makes no sense. Ranking people by their merit in some dimensions doesn't stop being usefu

Apparently that's not actually the case. The Brits and French had a hell of a time shooting down German Zeppelins in WWI with standard tracer ammo.

The judiciary doesn't bring allegations... that's they adjudicate them. The DoJ or similar has to bring them.

There are people who call themselves witches... but witches in the sense of women who have made a pact with Satan in exchange for supernatural powers are not real. Indeed, if they were real, we would be quite correct to persecute them.

Interesting. Our first took about 4 or 5 months? I think my wife stopped her birth control at the end of July and we conceived in December. Our second took 2 months, my wife stopped her birth control in September and we conceived in Novembe

It's almost as if the framers of the Constitution knew what they were doing when they created a decentralized federalized system and we've screwed it up pretty badly by centralizing power in the Federal Government.

But if I train my own neural network inside my skull using some artist's style, that's ok? Either a style is copyrightable or it's not. If it's not, then I can't see any argument that you can't use it yourself

Certainly something is lost by removing scarcity... at the same time, once that scarcity is gone, it can't be restored short of civilizational collapse. There's no way to put the streaming genie back in the bottle, nor the Stable

I doubt it. Look at the period from 1920-1960. Extremely entrepreneurial, extremely innovative, and tight immigration controls. The talent is largely already here.

We should let them own a house in their constituency, at least. I'm open to disallowing real estate speculation.
