Good point. I feel people who use the phrase "virtue signal" are usually signaling something themselves. "Well, I think all XYZ people are bums, and I bet everyone secretly agrees with me and just doesn't have the guts t

They're not independent. (At least the last time I played,) they pull prizes out of the pool when you win them. So if there is 1 Peach in a 100-prize pipe, at most you have to buy 100.

It took me a few attempts, but I have gotten this to work fairly well. I started with explaining my ideal app like this: We're going to design a (language) application that performs the following tasks, delineated by semi-colons: The

Floods, fires, tornadoes, and hurricanes only produce grave threats to the individual towns, cities, and maybe some multi-county regions that they cross. For individual incidents, we're relatively prepared beforehand and we know how to

Fascinating to watch in real-time as somebody tries to convince us that Eastern European nations voluntarily joining NATO over 20 years was "aggression" and poor little Putin had no choice but to rain missiles and shells down on U

Respectfully disagree -- these examples are mostly how the system is supposed to work to protect the rights of the individual. OJ was found not guilty by a jury of his peers who felt there was reasonable doubt to his guilt. Sure, to the va

In the US, the 10th percentile cops earn about 40K a year. Median local cop salary in the US is 65K. And that's the SALARY. And let me know if ANY cops in the US have ever complained about overtime -- guaranteed overtime and overtime

From the article: > Another opinion holds that Thursday was chosen as a poke in the eye to Orthodox believers, since their fasting days are traditionally Wednesday and Friday (official doctrine did all it could to encourage atheism).

What would be the ideal "HN-friendly" way to point out that the parent does have serious misunderstandings of the topic at hand? I'm struggling to parse that first sentence in a way that someone would be offended by.

1) You mentioned "ageism" so I assumed you were toward the older end of the typical range, but then you said you're in your early 20s? Yeah, no offense but you're basically a kid with no portfolio and no proven job hist

The Christian Church has been getting steadily less monolithic for the past 1700 years or so. Some of the topics being discussed in our (US) church in the past couple of years: * the devastating personal and economic toll of the pandemic an

Oh, so you do have the expertise to judge, but that other poster doesn't. Gotcha. Can you please point me to the thread where you justify this (otherwise unbearably arrogant) response with your credentials? (Seriously, how did thi

An MRAP is not going to be any better at delivering supplies than a few 4x4 trucks. They're not built for cargo and they're very heavy. And what events in the US are at high risk of attack by IEDs and mines?

On average, you are technically correct. But the US also has the greatest disparity in funding, which isn't visible on your link but is absolute basic conventional wisdom for any discussion of US education. Fifteen of the fifty states

Counter-point: ATVs and dirtbikes are noisy and tear up terrain and don't belong in "nature" aka the private property of people that don't want to hear them or see their tracks.
