Just make sure the mugs weren't washed with Jet Dry... Avoiding toxic and questionable substances really does get exhausting after awhile. It's everywhere. I'm able to draw a reasonable line (for me) without getting too nuts

Can you find any website or document that validates that these "random audits" are done? By whom and on what cadence? I've not been able to find anything like this. Just hand-waving, assertions that "someone does somethi

There's a compelling theory that Alexander's body was moved to the Basilica of Saint Mark in Venice, Italy!

You're pooh-poohing this idea a bit to harshly IMO. I almost wonder if your knowledge here may be out of date. You're aware that there's now evidence of the Americas' being populated over 20,000 years ago, right? Footpri

Interesting. Maybe part of the solution is better predicting and controlling the motion inside the human body. I could imagine using a method to guarantee a particular organ be at a certain place at a certain moment: perhaps by accelerating

Are you saying that government regulation prevented this thing that happened from happening? Because that doesn't seem to have occurred here.

You need to add "to me" at the end of your sentence here, because you're making it sound like you think their post sounds a certain way objectively, when that's actually subjective and didn't sound that way at all t

It's true, Watermelon Sugar is clearly about the economic prosperity that followed Sargon's unification of the Babylonians.

There actually are... "There are far more of these tablets in existence than I could have imagined. In fact, between half a million and two million cuneiform tablets are estimated to have been excavated in modern times, of which only a

Seems like it's only a matter of time before this hits an inflection point and an explosion of insights from ancient cultures emerges. Exciting. Many long-held beliefs will be upturned. Many people will be digging their heels in...

Many serious, pro-technology scientists, philosophers, and science fiction writers have been publicly worried about AI for decades and people are now acting like they're all suddenly fools or have nefarious motivations. Here's a t

Why do you think the generation who actually fought and died against Nazis nevertheless held that displaying a Nazi flag is protected speech in America? Do you think you understand something they didn't? Were they naive? Are you perhap

I hope you are not actually mistaking your urge to dunk on people you despise with a reasonable definition of a term. I mean, dunk away, I don't mind. But I hope you know that's what you're doing. :)

Sample size can be small if the controls are good and the effect is large. 40 could be way too many for some studies, way too few for others. "40 subjects" means nothing by itself.

Every tech company executive in the USA is not required to operate as an agent for one political party by threat of being disappeared. Our entire internet is not locked down to prevent political dissidents from sharing their views. Our gove

64%+ of the entire diverse population of the USA got at least one shot of, from a layman's perspective, some kind of new experimental wonder drug. In under a year. That is an example of effective persuasion.

Working a specific job at a specific price isn't a requirement for feeding your family either. Neither is living in a specific location for a specific rent price, for that matter. The idea that you are entitled to whatever job you want
