Maybe it is policy. If you have three experts in the field and you redact the details for two of the interviews taken, you can’t work it out that Bob was one of the two. Granted, they borked the redaction here.

Cruises are selling a set space rather than a service or trip per person. The extra incremental cost is minimal for the second person. Also the more people on the ship means more chances of selling high margin add ons like drink packages, e

I’m pretty sure the others are suggesting that you don’t generate the word list through coding but when you encounter words you don’t know. What helps us remember is context (“I saw that in the Doctor Who episode where the big bad is-“) whe

The Sacklers gave docs the wrong guidance on how habit forming it is. A doctor is busy and needs to be able to trust the experts- those who make the drug.

I have lived in an area of the US where a high portion of the population regularly attends church. I do not attend church. I noticed that when people found out about my lack of religion early in our acquaintance I was judged harshly for not

Citation on the non Indian workers doing less work? Also the workers on a visa make can be deported if they lose their job. That makes them dependent on their employer to stay in the US. That makes the visa holders less likely to ask for wa

Ah, yes, make it harder for people to enjoy and admire nature. Then people will lobby to raze it down as “no one uses it anyway.”

That’s like saying men shouldn’t vote on matters relating to abortion. People can vote you their feet.

I have an older sibling who is left Andes and challenged me to use my left hand since they could use both. So I’m at about a typical left handed person’s level of dexterity with their right hand. I switch off on tasks like shoveling or swee

But you already do. Your meat is processed to a certain standard. Your foodstuffs may only have a certain percentage of contaminants. Your vehicle must meet certain safety standards. The buildings you traverse through meet building codes.
