Right, because for it to be true that fear of losing health insurance is a barrier to starting one's own business, it must be true that it's the only factor at play here.

yeah, but then it starts loudly reading to you....and then at the end of the ride when you want to pay with your credit card the whole interface is weird. Better to just get really good at hitting the off button as soon as it allows you to.

I'd say a much more important purpose of a cutting board is to protect the edge of your knife. If you hit the edge of your knife on something really hard, it'll chip, or fold--basically just ruin it. This might not be such a big d

That does seem like an advantage, but the downside is that people who don't have access to fancy diagnostic equipment potentially just die of things that could be cured with some antibiotics....

And yet, no real change to the status quo of slow deterioration seems to be happening. The louder and more powerfully we can make this (I agree obvious) case, the better!

It was really terrible in the 70s when the city went bankrupt. Then it got better, and now it's getting worse again.

The NYC subway system is orders of magnitude better than anything else in this country, absolutely. This also means that pretty much everyone relies on it to get around every day---so we have to hold it to a much higher standard. If the sub

Why don't women go to the police more often when they're raped? Sure is a mystery.

Which is a good thing, if you're interested in not getting parasites!

Just as dangerous as terrorists? According to this https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/65/wr/mm655051e1.htm , in 2014 alone, there were 28,647 deaths from opioids in the US. In the last /decade/, i

I don't think people denigrating allied bombing campaigns are really concerned with their military effectiveness, but rather the millions upon millions of civilians we (Allies) killed.

Ever use ranger? Of course, not exactly comparable, but it's pretty amazing.

Really, it doesn't make sense to you that enter would correspond to the most common, least destructive action? Alt-F4 makes little sense, true, but in almost all windows apps control-q or control-w does exactly the same thing as on osx

I imagine because what they actually mean (state) gets ambiguous and confusing because of the united states, which are not really states in the same sense.

Important context for Denmark not having a minimum wage is the fact that more or less everyone (including managers) is in a union, and if you are fired you'll get paid unemployment that is not too far from your actual wages.

On TV maybe. In real life investigative police work is gathering enough evidence on a suspect that a prosecutor will take the case.

Lenovo has been exactly the same for me, with their onsite + accidental damage protection. For the same price as applecare, I've more than once broken my laptop screen from a drop, and someone is at my house the next day with a new scr

Glassblowers who make high end pieces for people to smoke marijuana out of work pretty exclusively in quartz and borosilicate, and will certainly have experience with lathes. See for instance http://waterworksglass.com/?cat=

Sure, taste is subjective, but that doesn't mean certain cooking techniques are better than others. Cold brew oxidizes, and doesn't extract many of the flavor compounds from coffee. That's why it always tastes kind of stale a

If you're spending hundreds of millions of dollars on what is essentially a marketing campaign, it would be rather shocking not to have a logo.

Right, I don't disagree with you, but....that's not going to happen. It's literally politically impossible right now. So incremental steps are great.

Really? I would have no problem bringing a wrapped gift from a friend or colleague, the contents of which I do not know on a plane. And lying about packing my bags myself. In fact, I don't see why anyone would have a problem with that.
