There is absolutely no possible way that you (or any other person) would notice a 4 inch GLOBAL AVERAGE rise in sea level over the last few decades. I don't care if you literally spent 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per ye

I feel like there is no good way to market the fact that some school districts are banning the dictionary to comply with all the "word" and "thought" ban laws. Like how do you spin that so it's a good thing that som

Isn't that a different problem entirely? The original is that the host reveals a door without the prize. Aren't you modeling an entirely different problem as opposed to modeling the same problem with a different model, since the p

It's typically considered an anti-American, anti-freedom ideology in the US to require people to carry any sort of documents, including ID. Of course, this idea is slowly being eroded by authoritarian ideas and if you are not white (in

On par? I mean, alcohol will literally kill you if you drink too much or have prolonged exposure. Alcohol makes you sick and fat. If anything, alcohol is far worse than cannibas. Time will tell what effects it has on the wider population, b

Have you ever served? In combat? I have, USMC infantry. I want a professional fighting force with smart of professional fighters and support. Yes, you need mental toughness. But if you are so mentally weak that you can't handle a cours

The only time I've ever ran into a stack limitation was real-time embedded systems with a tiny stack. For modern computers/tablets I have never experienced an issue. Granted, what really matters is your data/recursion level,

Not only that, a car is basically a requirement for life in the US. With a complete lack of decent public transportation in the majority of the US, couples with a lack of walkable communities, a car is virtually required. Anybody who disagr

Pardon makes it possible/easier to have your record expunged. These pardons also effectively decriminalize possession at the federal level. It's far from an empty gesture. But at the same time it is also a token, bare minimum gest

Not really. His promise was to build the wall AND make Mexico pay for it. At one point congress agreed to give him almost $6 Billion to build the wall and he turned it down, never to be in that position again. If he wanted to build the wall

Why link to an opinion piece by an author with a known right-wing bias? The article was paywalled but the fact that it is an opinion peace and the biased reputation of the author makes it suspect.

It absolutely matters what other people believe if they also want to make laws and rules based on those beliefs.
