I think it's 500 karma - you've got 54...

I actually didn't blame you for your situation. I pointed out that I find it gross to prioritize federal spending for your vacation home over victims of war. Also, ordinary America…

Honestly, I'm having a hard time digesting your attitude that federal taxes should be allocated to your vacation home in a fire-prone region, than supporting the victims of an unju…

That's judgemental. Collaboration couldn't have hurt.

The most important thing I learned from my graduate advisor: anyone can have a worthwhile idea. I watched him for years coming into weekly colloquia and seeming to tune out reading…

You're ignoring that most "new" language problems have significant overlap with things already experienced, and there's only a minor translation issue, rather than a learning new t…

Why didn't you help your teammate? A PhD doesn't mean that a person knows everything . It means they made progress in understanding in a narrow area. Might not have included Python…

What is that they have mounted on the front of the scope?

I'm the same - it's very easy for me to ramp up miles and pace in endurance sports, but I've never been able to do a pull up. I do notice I weigh 25-30 pounds less than my friends …

Your point would not be weakened if you left ethnicity out of it, but risks coming across as un-credible and conspiracy driven with the addition. I'd recommend an edit.

NLH and PLO?

I'm in the process of updating my home including whole house sealing. Part of it is an air exchange system that brings in outside air and matches that air to the interior temp and …

The joke is that anything medical you search for online you'll end up having your greatest fears validated, rather than get helpful and balanced insight. Or rather, all online diag…

I want to thank you for posting this. I was not aware of the Merck Manuals, and have often struggled to identify useful information on WebMD or Mayo Clinic sites. Today my wife had…

In the couple minutes I watched I was surprised that almost every edit I saw was either a sporting event or popular media (bands, albums, celebrities). I would have expected more d…

There's a standup bit, I don't remember who the comic is, where he says, "my elbow was kinda sore after I was playing a bunch of tennis. I looked it up on the internet and oh no! I…

I don't see that insinuation in this thread. Your comments are legitimate from the perspective of a reader that doesn't want long tangents and asides, but your attacks on the book …

Okay, you didn't like Cryptonomicon. Maybe you don't like longer books, which is fine. Personally, it's my favorite book of all time. I'm not a Sci Fi snob and rarely read the genr…

I was once put in the position of co-managing a single report. Two managers, one of them a first time manager, and a senior report - it was one of the hardest management experience…

Those are LATCH - it really shouldn't take more than 5 minutes.

I do it frequently. Maybe the first time ever, with safety anxiety it could take half an hour, but also any police or fire department will just do it for you. "permissible lateral …

I haven't missed the point. NEW car prices may have grown faster than income, BUT cars last far longer, so there's more market availability at the lower price point. There are more…

The reason the average age goes up is because it's far easier to maintain a car well past 100k miles now than it ever has been before. https://www.caranddriver.com/research/a327586…

It takes minutes to transfer a car seat. LATCH especially makes it incredibly easy.

I don't agree with this argument. Yes, because of safety mandates the price of a new car has gone up. I bought a brand new base model Toyota for $11k in 2001, and the cheapest bran…
