About burnished

I don't think we make a big enough deal over crows being so smart. They use tools. They recognize people and wage war on those they think have wronged them. They communicate to each other about which people suck, across generations, which depending on how you slice it is either an oral tradition or gossip. Either way.

    No. Neurons are 'aggregate and fire', and they either fire or they do not.

    I think the author is comfortable creating headaches for people tacking query strings onto URLs

    Yeah, big differences between an absolute guarantee and "we'll take as much as we can get"

    I love how you can tell something was generated because it comes out clear and using many of the important writing fundamentals we were all taught.

    All I know is that when a class starts with 'elementary' or 'fundamentals of' you had best buckle up.

    Think i'd be ok with a year and a half halt for things in general every now and again.

    I think this is a good perspective for problem solving generally - just establishing a simple (ideally effective, it not then call it naieve) standard of comparison to base further…

    Simply because it was an information poor exchange.

    They gave enough detail that its clear from context what 'had to' meant.

    Motherfucker you try to take my fork while I'm eating and you're going to get a stabbed hand. Are forks addicting?

    You may be a bit emotionally invested in this topic if you feel you're getting a lot of information from that exchange.

    Title is misleading, there is an open discussion on the topic with someone raising valid points and a clear escalation method that involves a vote from another group.

    Yeah you can, though to be fair its referred to as jevons paradox because it is counterintuitive.

    What about it is whitewashing? This seems like it would be a great resource if you wanted to contextualize the argument you're gesturing at.

    They might have forgotten how to share an anecdote and their sister might just be a regular awful driver

    I think you missed the bit where they suggested being curious and offering perspective - it really does work out differently
