So a growing number of employers around the country have decided to build their own housing for workers, mostly for them to rent but sometimes to buy. You can't image where the connection to company towns could come from in an artic

"Everything has risks, so reducing risks is meaningless" doesn't sound like particularly sound stance to take, especially on an issue like housing.

Cloud gaming is a growing market – they're preventing the deal on the hypothesis that it will give Microsoft a huge advantage in a growing market. How does any large company build into a new/growing market without having a &quot

I don’t understand why it can’t be both: SF is degenerating when it comes to random crime AND this murder wasn’t by some random thug. Always important to reflect on whether stances like "SF is degenerating" are based on a ration

This must be the new astroturfing attack against concepts like public transportation. I've seen this phrase pop up too frequently at this point for it to be organic.

I had to have my deviated septum surgically corrected back in my late teens before I was capable of breathing consistently through my nose. Even simple things like chewing with my mouth closed were difficult because I couldn't breath w

Famously, lots of people have successfully lived healthy lives with long periods where they ate mostly or exclusively potato, including multiple cases where people voluntarily ate only potatoes for a year. The safety of this diet is diffic

I think his argument was that with potato-only he only wanted to eat 500 calories per day. For two weeks. Which is effectively nothing when you are talking about long-term issues like nutrition, health, weight, etc.

My favorite part is where they eat 500 calories of food each day but still state "Neither of us were looking to lose weight". Or the comment on "So the fact that we ate exclusively one type of food most likely contributed to

To me, a "spank" is usually a mild to moderate slap on the rear, a part of the body particularly well cushioned that can handle it just fine without physical trauma, not to mention psychological trauma. When I think of a child wh

Spanking a child and beating a child are two completely unrelated things. Yes, striking your child to teach them a lesson is definitely completely unrelated to striking your child out of anger/frustration. Definitely no connections t

We are talking about being taught in an academic context, not a practical context. So, a better analogue might be that you wouldn't necessarily expect a martial arts historian to be better at the application of martial arts than the av

Unfortunately this bit of illogic is so common that I know it’s a waste of time to argue, so I’ve learned how to figure out what they want the estimates to be, give them that, miss them (just like everybody else does), and then get to work

About a decade ago I used to pay $45+ a month for a very basic cable package that contained mostly public stations and a few of the standard stations that you get a hotels, etc. At the same time my parents paid around $100+ a month for thei

OpenTTD sadly does not simulate passengers as unique agents. Transportation demand can be very unidirectional and not make logical sense. Personally this isn't really a negative. I've found that I only care about "agents&qu

It feels a bit hypocritical to make this sort of proclamation on a social media site with extremely strict moderation. Almost as though this isn't as simple a topic as "stick and stones" and that everyone has different tolera

I feel like this couldn't have been true by 1995. The market of RPGs specifically made in the west by 1995 is relatively limited. So, you cross out the biggest entries in that space and you will run out of options pretty quickly. But

That really only applies to "we have to launch it next week". It can potentially apply to any project with a fixed budget, whether that's internal or external. And time is money, sometimes quite literally if you are working

It's explicitly asking for an open-ended list. If your goal is to come with any reason to label a question a "list question", then I don't think it would be too hard to find a way to label any potential question as a &

The primary purpose of S.O. is to produce a searchable corpus of answers with few duplicates and pretty high-quality answers. The issue is that by discouraging participation in the community, you end up with a repository of old questions

My favorite is people downvoting and arguing about answers I posted over a decade ago People bickering over answers on decade old questions sounds exactly like the sort of community SO is trying to foster.

Do you have a link to the rule about asking questions with only a "single correct answer"? Out of curiosity, I tried digging around and couldn't find references to that kind of rule.

This is the correct answer. The question is, how do we get better at regulating reality faster? I don't think "Use words that put a more positive spin for Tesla PR" is something regulators should be working faster on.
