I've never eaten citrus like an apple except when at a restaurant and they give slices of lemon or lime - I eat those whole. I usually eat the fruit first, then the peel. The bitterness of the pith is not noticeable at all when eaten l

Almost all mashed potatoes I've ever had that wasn't in a microwave dinner has come with skins inside. Do you always use russet or something?

Citrus peels taste good. They're used for cooking in every culture that grows citrus. Eating them raw is only bad due to farmers poisoning the food they sell.

Why would you peel potatos? The skin is the best part!

These people are also all wealthy with stable fortunes - they don't need a lot of cash because they have everything. Trump is also a rich guy, but he has a lot of debts and legal troubles and worries about leaving office, so he urgentl

When people say that US corruption is nothing new, they aren't condoning it, they're (in every case I've seen) drawing exactly the contrast you are making - it was like this before, but now it's so much worse! Corruption

An entertaining read. As implied but not openly stated, a publically-available implementation doesn't seem to exist. It actually maps pretty well to many existing languages so a "compiler" could be as simple as a custom macro

The difference is that the marketing stuff used to be only on corporate websites. Now it's everywhere, because pretty much everybody hates writing, and the "pretty much" can be left off when the writing is a job or some other

A 30% approval rating means ~75-80% of Trump's base is still fully behind him. A two-party system will only very rarely produce figures with over 50% approval, because roughly half of voters disapprove on GP. The apathy of the 40-50% w

No it wouldn't. Parents accompanying children to their first day of school is pretty normal and sometimes required, especially for the fancy private schools someone like Lutnick probably sent his kids to.

I've never experienced visualization under the effect of hallucinogens, but I have once when I took very strong opiates.

No visualization, no monologue or other auditory thinking ability. My thinking process is more like reading and writing than speaking and hearing. The concepts flow at the speed at of thought when active, much faster than I could comprehend

XCOM probabilities are lies, just like Fire Emblem. Pretty much 0% of games that show you a "percent-to-hit" chance ever give an accurate number.

They do have an intuitive understanding! You just outlined it, and it works well enough for most things. Statistics is generally very useful, but for individuals it's not really important or useful to understand, because the data i

Yes, but less pithy. Placing the "average person" next to the "average number of legs" makes it clear that the idiomatic and intuitive sense of "average" that most people have is wrong. The more precise "t

China's internal economy is sluggish and has always underperformed. They rode the wave of industrialization, but production started moving away to cheaper locales years ago. Their rising standard of living hasn't come with the inc

If you consider each possible encoding as a different instruction, CPU instructions don't even have operands, the register is part of the instruction. The CPU doesn't care what is in the register because only bits can be in the re

All states regulate, subsidize, or otherwise exert influence on companies acting in their territories. China is not unique or different in that regard. They have been forced to try somewhat harder, but that was really due to the actions o
