Editorials are a thing. This is not an editorial. It's structured as a news report.

I'm mostly a libertarian, but claiming "we are experiencing higher than normal call volumes" when you aren't should put you in jail for fraud.

This seems like a low effort opinion piece that is unlikely to generate useful discussion here.

The article seems to be more of a review of the new book than any attempt to actually discuss the topic.

The title of the article cites bad grammar, but the example doesn't have any grammatical problems. It has clear typos and questionable abbreviations but it doesn't have any of the …

Not even in the northern hemisphere. Celestial navigation is about shooting altitudes for known bright stars. At least three ideally five. This could include Polaris, but it doesn'…

It's a lot cheaper to rent a trailer.

That core idea is simple. But the details, such as credit and debit having the opposite meaning to casual bank account accounting, and the use of a variety of accounts makes things…

Reviews by independent experts about the quality of this guy's life? I think he can be considered an authority on that subject.

That's not a philosophical argument at odds with our current understanding of copyright law. That's exactly what this judge found copyright law currently is and it's quoted in the …

This seems a little weird to me, but direct commissions like this are pretty common for professionals like lawyers, clergy, and doctors.

There's no problem with residential water use in Phoenix. There are still farms that could be shut down if water is needed. The biggest problem seems to be parochial NIMBYs. People…

It was the other way around -- the Pepsi Challenge was what motivated New Coke.

By "anymore" do you mean for the past 600 years? Because almond milk goes back about as far as we have cookbooks that might mention it in english.

I'm pretty sure all recent Subaru's (other than BRZ, which is a totally different platform) have wheel spin control using the braking system.

Brilliant, now it's not just people who live in cities subsidizing rich people who choose to live in high fire risk suburban borders but everyone who drives too.

I would agree, except that I just watched a How To Cook That episode featuring rat lung worms transmission from slugs.

If you look at the picture while it's standing, the design has the diagonal braces all running the same way. Any homeowner who has knocked together a wooden gate could recognize th…

It would be better if banks educated customers on best practices such as "don't trust anything on a different domain" and "only provide PII for verification if you are the one init…
