Unions often don't represent the beliefs of their members, they usually represent the beliefs and goals of the highest ranking members (and sometimes the people that pay them off, …

Work is for talking about work, not anything else. A few cordial off-topic comments here and there are fine, but if I have time to discuss politics at work that's time that I could…

I've never met a single person who was not taught about that in school a decade or two ago, from a very conservative area. That is just my experience of course, but I do find it pe…

In my experience at least, the cars I always have issues with are new ones with stock headlights, not modded cars. There are far less modded cars of course, but they always seem to…

This is the problem with hypotheticals, they are never an accurate representation of human psychology just like a ball ignoring air resistance. The two problems are not the same, t…

There may be concerns that TikTok's algorithms manipulate content to push certain trends and control public opinion so hypothetically there could be value in releasing the algorith…

This concept that people breath too much when exercising never really made sense to me. I generally do believe it because I have experienced it myself, but why would the body defau…

I believe you are misrepresenting the situation. No one expects corporations to archive and preserve all data, especially not data that they are not associated with. However, if th…

For me, setting myself up to be productive and have focus is more impactful than anything I try to do in the moment of trying to be productive. Running or biking a few miles, eatin…

The article says more about the state of tech blogging than it does GPT-3. I kept thinking "great, another one of these, when are they actually going to show me any results?" We've…

Of course. Although if one couldn't walk/crawl a few feet out of a bedroom for an emergency, they are probably unconscious or have a very large bedroom. I'm assuming the marketed c…

I wonder if there would be a market for actual electromagnetic shielding products, such as some sort of conductive paint for walls and ceilings? Of course, you could not use your p…

Charging a small annual fee to me seems to be a much more elegant solution than any sort of domain monitoring system. It is a very simple way to make defunct domains available agai…

It would be more accurate to call this a programming based drawing tool or a learning tool. The thing that makes this unique is the features and being able to draw in the browser, …

Very interesting! I remember programming Logo turtle instructions on iMac G3s. I do wish the author would have provided a repository or at least some information on how it was buil…

I believe it is that you are focusing more on one set of muscles with resistance bands or iron which makes it easier to enter into the "flow" state. Bodyweight exercises involve so…

Gymnastics requires a lot more training and skill than lifting up and putting down iron. There are far less body weight exercises that you can do without specialized equipment than…

Yes, it is pretty much impossible. Buying weights off craigslist or Facebook has always been the better bet anyway, because it's not as if a chunk of iron can get worn out and they…

Smoking decreases the amount of certain enzymes that COVID binds to in order to infect the lungs. Less enzymes means a lesser chance of catching the virus, but if caught, the perso…

The POTUS account likely has more additional security than normal accounts.

I think you misinterpreted my comment, friend. I never said or impled that cops don't pull people over for speeding. I said they don't target a single individual and follow them ar…

Like I said, most people do not own weapons illegally or use illegal drugs, even weed. Most people don't smoke weed, even in legal states.

Who's internet? I'm not from Russia.

Yes, but we only have evidence to believe that black people do on average commit more crime because they are convicted of more crime. The theory is that blacks commit the same or l…

>Recognizing the fact isn't racist Apparently it is, because all the other replies are gobsmacked that I even mentioned this. We're not discussing observations and observable facts…
