I think there's a significant number of people who like decentralized currency systems because they can be used to circumvent border currency controls. I'm sure there are some reasonable reasons for disliking nation-states but pra

Yeah, Peterson's books are required reading for anyone who wants to understand where D&D came from. I think understanding the history of D&D is pretty crucial to understanding why and how to play D&D even today, half a cent

My belief is that Americans want walkable cities except they fundamentally hate other people. Not personally, just existentially. Other people take stuff that the average American wants - a parking spot next to the door, getting a coffee ri

Deductions vary greatly between jurisdictions. Capital gains taxes vary greatly, tax-sheltered savings accounts may not be recognized, certain rollovers programs probably only exist in one of the jurisdictions, etc. None of these people ren

Before anyone gets too excited by the headline, this is by David Frum, so it's a conclusion in search of a thesis.

"Sans some stylistic differences, they are functionally the same thing." You can't raise the whole vehicle several inches (although crossovers have weirdly low ground clearance) without affecting the handling. Modern wagons c

Because they're worse than wagons in some respects (handling) and have pretty much killed everything else in the market. Given that VW is very much a platform company where the Golf wagon shares a lot of parts with the other Golf model

It's ridiculous that VW has abandoned wagons in North America. https://newsroom.vw.com/vehicles/the-golf-sportwagen-and-all...

Station Wagons are great but sadly unpopular, which makes them harder to buy than they should be. Everyone wants the exact same mid-sized crossover which seems to be the only thing every car manufacturer cares about except Ford, who now onl

I'm surprised these were all actually distinct chocolates and that some of them weren't just relabelled bars produced by a different company on the list already.

They have revolutionized the sport to the extent that they're banned in some popular mountain bike areas. That said, I think a lot of studies have shown they don't cause any more trail damage than a traditional bike.

The headline seems at odds with this line from the body of the article: "But by 2020, the Trump administration had disbanded the pandemic response unit and these doctors were forced to go rogue."

Sure, this is definitely an "eating your seed corn" sort of situation. And it's definitely very asymmetric at Google - a senior director outside of MTV definitely has to come to meet people in Mountain View from time to time.

I'm sure there's a lot of sales travel at places like G but I feel like G in particular doesn't have a lot of sales travel. A lot of the travel is just employees working together for whatever internal tasks.

There's a lot of employee travel at big companies. Many times of the year you can hardly book a hotel room around Mountain View/Sunnyvale/Palo Alto. I think the pandemic has shown how non-essential a lot of that really was.

Sure I get it, but clearly it's not working. It seems like it's just showing an ad that pays more. The OP seems annoyed, so that part isn't happening.

Clearly these ads are simply bidding the most. Why show you "better" ads that generate less revenue?

No, but Ontario has no mandatory paid sick days and you would think that the pandemic might be a good opportunity to fix that situation, but no. The government continues to blame social gatherings when the incoming ICU patients are primaril

Ontario won't do anything. The continuing case count is the direct consequence of the Ford government not spending the money they've been given by the Federal government.

The Achilles Heel in Ontario's policies have been a lack of mandated paid sick days, so people in warehouses are going in sick and at no point closing down large store or warehouse-type workplaces where the bulk of the transmission is

" a good thing somehow suddenly became "a scam"." Does Griddy push real-time cost information to consumers to enable them to react to situations like this? "Scam" might be harsh, but their model clearly failed.
