I don't understand the point you're trying to make. eddieplan9 didn't claim that the US is a flawless, perfect nation. They're saying that despite the issues with the US (and I do agree that there are a lot), drawing con

I can't speak for other people, but I can see this being a bad feature for me. It'd be great for chicken where I usually get the same thing (~5lbs chicken thighs). For beef though it'd be an absolute nightmare. I vary between

>What does that even mean? My guess is it's just another way of saying people like consuming media from companies that are relevant to their interests. I personally find Snap's advertising to be nice. It's nice to have it

>Perhaps repealing the English only teaching requirement via prop 58 last year had something to do with harming English proficiency in underserved populations. It wouldn't have affected any of these test scores. Prop 58 was approved

On a tangential note, that might not be the case anymore next year. The Thunder got Paul George, the Rockets traded for Chris Paul, Gordon Hayward is now on the Celtics, and Jimmy Butler is in Minnesota. Meanwhile, there's rumors that

No kidding. I miss the old days of ESPN. Doesn't help either that ESPN isn't showing good games anymore and that it has big competition now. For football, this past season they were only showing the MNF games. In the Bay Area, NBC

ESPN is suffering from a two pronged death. Like you, there's plenty of people who aren't interested in sports and aren't interested in paying extra for a sports-bundled cable package. Then there's people like me who lik

I think a part of it has also been Nintendo's terrible naming scheme the past few years. I don't follow gaming news closely, so when I heard of the Wii U I thought it was a hardware revision not unlike the Xbox One S to the Xbox O

Isn't that their legal obligation though? Certainly they could have offered more considering everyone was seated already, they had the crew for a future flight to transport on time, and everyone was initially unwilling. I think it&#x27

Maybe not, but the remaining country can still severely harm California. Additionally I wouldn't assume that California-based military will support CalExit. I lived in San Diego and spent a lot of time with active duty sailors + marine

1. Even if you take slavery into account, I see a lot of similarities between the Civil War and CalExit. For the southern states, many wanted to keep slavery for economic reasons. It was very cheap labor, and banning slavery would have mean

by Dan_Nguyen 9y ago
Nope. Those are my thoughts exactly. The obvious implication of CalExit to me is civil war. Like you I definitely think a state leaving undermines the very nature of the United States. Political motivations aside, the idea of California lea

Regarding longevity, it's also worth noting that telomere shortening are a very effective anti cancer mechanism. Cancer is the runway division of cells. Preventing cell division when the telomeres are too short ensures there is a finit

I'm a developer myself, but I do have non developer reasons for not liking the new MacBook. * No SD reader: not ubiquitous in the age of smartphones, but I take pics with my DSLR on vacations and not having an internal card reader make

I'm in the same boat as you here. Level 2 and 3 are unsafe for me as an individual. When I drive, actively focusing on the road and driving keeps me awake. When I'm a passenger, the lack of mental concentration plus the gentle roc

To me, something also worth noting is that prior to the Duck Dynasty show, none of the people behind the company had their well known "bearded outdoorsman" looks. There's a widely circulated photo where they look like your av

In my house, we make good use of delivery for one major reason: sports. Sometimes theres no dinner ready and in the hecticness of life, we forget to cook the night before so we get into an unfortunate situation of either going hungry until

It still does not change liability though, only where the money will be coming from.

Ah, gotcha. I misunderstood that one. My bad. That said, I'm not too sure how that would work. They only check your boarding pass at the initial security check before the scanners, and the order at which people have their IDs checked i

Adding onto this, a skin swab for a DNA sample is pretty useless. You have contamination from everything from skin flora to skin cells from other people you've had physical contact with. Given the very public nature of airports, contam

How many of them are working in fields directly relating to their studies, and how many of them are being paid a livable wage? Because I can guarantee you right now that a postdoc salary is horrible, especially considering the amount of wor

Thanks, I forgot to include that. In my experience, it's definitely true. I absolutely love biology and do miss being in the lab. That said, love for a field doesn't pay the bills, and like you pointed out, it's a lot of work

That's an absolutely incorrect statement. Before switching to programming, I was a research associate. Internships, publications, the whole deal. I would argue that cancer research and the other biomed research my colleagues did was ab

While unreproducible data does exist, I'd honestly blame mainstream news organizations more than the researchers themselves for all this 'course correcting'. Case in point, back in my bio days I worked in a lab that published

I never understood comments like this. Whoever said it's either/or? Watching a football game is about three hours out of your week, and that's only for 1/3 of the year when it actually is football season. Less than that

Bokeh can be overused, sure, but it still has its place. It helps immensely with separating the subject from the background and some (much better than me) photographers can do great things with narrow DoF. Beyond that, you don't even n
