The bulk of those shirts have got to be pirated, but for a while they were selling them at Bandy Melville, a clothing store whose target demographic has seemingly very little overlap with fans of Joy Division. The ultimate triumph of the si

Congrats, OP has recreated a test/development bench, the bane of developers working on automotive software development all around the world. They're so close to being a real vehicle that you think you'll be able to get a lot

The foreign-born population of LA and SF hasn't changed significantly in decades. It was like 27% in LA in the 80s. Housing there is expensive because there's a lot of demand from a lot of people. Immigration is like reason 11 out

I just said you're wrong, not that you're prohibited from discussing it.

Framing foreign-born residents as "artificial demand" is definitely a thing you can do, but it doesn't align with reality. Some portion of the foreign-born population are naturalized or are family members of US citizens, so i

There are so many confounding factors that this can't be taken at face value. Immigrants go where jobs are in general and it's demand for workers that causes housing prices to go up. If there was zero immigration there would still

It's a historic quirk that the US is a single country. It hardly feels like one most days.

You think 4.5% of the world's population is smarter and works harder than the other 95.5%? Maybe there's other reasons.

Everyone in these threads always points out all sorts of issues with the H1B system, which are mostly true, but it's not like there's a suggestion for a replacement here. This is a de facto shutdown of the program, not a reform. I

I generally like Doctorow's writing and agree with a lot of what he says here, but: "Google has stolen every fact about our lives, in service to propping up a monopoly that lets it steal our money, too." I still have all the

The PATH is great as Toronto has pretty variable weather and on a snowy or rainy day it sure beats being outside. One thing this article doesn't note is that post-pandemic half of it is empty. So many empty retail storefronts. There&#x

Stanford is skimming the absolute top students from around the world into its programs. There's more than enough capacity in US schools for the top 10% of US grad students and then the US gets the benefit of also getting the top 10% of

I do not think it takes a decade-long longitudinal study to conclude that seed oils are not mercury or thalidomide.

Americans eat 12.51 million metric tons of it a year, so it is clearly not exactly poisonous. And "inflammation" is very vague... most people would be better off just increasing their dietary fiber intake and not worry about swapp
