That's the key one -- it should be first and maybe the only one on the list. Japan is mono-culture and high-trust. They are all on the same page. You can't replicate that in wester…

You forgot the $2 charge for rewinding. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K97bkACYWLY

I find it wildly disturbing that a government official in his position would use his work computer to store private notes, that in some cases appear to directly contradict what he …

I just use fail2ban and it seems to do a pretty good job, but you do need to pay attention for the first couple of months, to tune it to your situation. I use one filter that is re…

What to Submit On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be…

Was this AI written? It seems confusing to me but I'm not an economist. I think another way to look at happiness and money is that while money doesn't necessarily buy happiness, it…

I have a rasperry pi 2 and 4 that have been running on the same size uSD (reputable brand) for 5 years and haven’t had any issues. I have swap turned off. You just have to be aware…

They should just lead with saying that obesity rates have tripled since the 1960s and maybe they will start declining a bit now.

This belongs with my other Taschen art books. Can anyone that bought the book of plates comment on the quality of printing (binding, color and paper)? It seems like they use a prin…

We do read the Economist in the US, and Lexington in particular in the US section. I use the US definition of right wing because I'm in the US and didn't want to confuse Europeans …

They are not "quite centric" politically, unless you are a liberal. Contrast the number of times the phrase "far-right" appears with the equivalent (far-left, progressive, radical …

Just as you don't need to be a vet to know the difference between a dog and a cat. I own a dog and it's common sense that a dog is a reflection of the owner, and when you have a do…

Good thing we didn’t have too many of those people during the revolution or we would still be part of Great Britain.

Most dogs in my neighborhood are ok with them. My own dog loves them. I try to keep him inside only because I think it might be bad for his hearing if he gets too close. Beyond bas…

They should still build that bridge; it's funny to drive on 135 and just see the highway come to an end, but I'm not sure it would have survived even with the Long Island Sound lin…

If you want to see the inside of another nuclear plant that New York decided to turn off, Radioactive Drew has a good tour of Indian Point https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJSH1_GH1…

Sad day when this is number one and highly upvoted. I don't know why they can't use AI to identify posters that leave more than 90% of political postings here, and nicely suggest t…

I didn’t read his comment as saying it was a crime. Parent was commenting about feeling unsafe. People walking around stoned and trying to drink a soda bottle upside down does make…

I live in NYC and I don't think it is safe, so there's one person that disagrees with you. Part of the problem in NYC is when you commit a low-level crime the social-justice warrio…

I don't think there's a rule against rolling the ball to a batter; it would be called a ball. It would be similar to a wild pitch or an intentional walk (when you had to actually t…

We haven't had a toaster that makes better toast since 1997 (Sunbeam radiant control).

I always keep doxycyline around take a couple whenever I find a deer tick on me. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK545493/table/rc1121.ap...

Yeah it is confusing me because in all cases the camera was hidden. I just think the definitions they give should be clearcut. There may be a case for saying that the way that word…

It marked this definition for “Candid” as incorrect. “Secretive and very guarded” But Candid can certainly mean secretive, as in “Candid camera”.
