I’m from New Haven and if you went into a place and asked for a beef patty you would get a Jamaican beef patty, not a burger. It may not be everywhere, but pretty much every city I…

Ha ha! Wow, the level of ignorance is staggering

I’d be curious to learn about what you were experiencing, what the astronauts experience and the third man syndrome that Everest hikers experience. I don’t know if they are similar…

Hi, this is a well known phenomenon in politics that is much discussed in political science and sociology, and goes by many names (strategic polarization, racial capitalism, split …

Stick around. The forum has some problems (like the confidently wrong commenter above), and needs curious, good faith folk to enliven the discussion.

Yikes! That is not good

If you’re pissed you had to pay your HVAC guy to drive to your house and do something you think is trivial, why didn’t you do it yourself?

> No it means that perhaps the US should finally start looking at itself instead of just asserting that it doesn't need to because China. Agreed, the US definitely needs to do some…

The article claims that the whole project only cost $40,000, and then compares that to electric conversion offerings that cost $75,000 (and mentions that the global conversion mark…

Neat. I would have preferred the original interior over Tesla's, but I guess it would then just be an electric conversion and not a "Tesla" conversion with "FSD".

That could be, but you should also be aware that many people will have the knee jerk reaction to reject statements like yours as being paranoid and delusional. Assuredly sometimes …

I've read their tweet: https://x.com/PalantirTech/status/2045574398573453312 It's hard to take them seriously given the omission of the biggest catastrophe of the 2000s-2020s that …

The best liquor I ever had was by a state police detective who had been home distilling since he was 12. It was made from rye and corn, but tasted like peaches. I think it is kind …

Thanks for sharing your comment. I was skeptical about your claim that black mold would be a consequence of living near a distillery, but in fact, it is. It is called Whiskey Fungu…

Neat idea, but that sounds like it would eventually become weaponized if built; not only by using the energy beams destructively, but by choosing who does and who does not get powe…

I don’t have kids, but suggested something years ago to my siblings when they started confronting similar issues: we should do a version of “ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny” for p…

That may be true elsewhere, but not in the US

That A-10’s can’t suppress manpads

Top-notch philosophical argumentation. All of your rare, educated and informed opinions really shine.

> That was never a question You originally made the statement that "Hegel is irrelevant in the age of measurement", to which I objected. Unless you're going to back pedal further, …

I don’t want to punch down, but that comes across a lot like trump saying he has the biggest words. You may not have the time or inclination, but there is a lot to learn from study…

> there are better heuristics to use and using old ones means you’re operating on old software You’re making a lot of pronouncements that are arbitrary to you

> Hegel is irrelevant in the age of measurement That’s bs. Even just the preface to Phenomenology of Spirit is chock full of ideas that folks would be better off if they contemplat…
