"Public universities" means state-run schools. State funding is responsible for their very existence. The state is involved by default.

Now if I could only remember what road it was that my mama said was paved with good intentions...

Last time I checked, "innocent until proven guilty" was still a foundational principle of Western law. Certain factions may be working hard to chip away that foundation with the in…

The goal was not that "everybody knows your name"; only that one's identity be well-known enough that it will not be forgotten, or at least (in this particular case) be rediscovera…

For a while there I was two-solving Letterboxed on an almost daily basis, but it regularly took 20-30 minutes to do. I couldn't bear to three-solve it knowing a two-word solution e…

I made the mistake of opening this on my phone. It is technically playable in that tapping the screen causes the sprite to fire and teleport around the screen. It is not feasibly p…

Note that in your example, it's not the athletes that are being toxic (usually), it's the spectators. It's common for sports fans to say things like, "we're playing Los Angeles nex…

I think a better (but less concise) way to phrase it is: "I shouldn't have to think to use your interface, because that's bandwidth I won't have available to think about your conte…

In this case, it's because the teacher is now left not knowing whether they have an opening in their schedule for the student or not. This is a freelance teacher who is responsible…

And then there's Tumblr users, who affectionately refer to their own digital home as the "hellsite".

Do you think it is in any world fair to steal a car from someone who has done nothing to you?

Is this not exactly what was meant by "the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants"? We treat government like a monument to be pres…

Yes, there's no direct land route for Taiwan's allies to use, but the same is true of Chinese forces trying to get onto the island. Their supply routes may be shorter than Taiwan's…

Next thing you know, they'll start putting barcodes on their military vessels...

There's quite a lengthy article there. It sounds like you might have a connection problem.

One could also argue that the courts and/or government are tilted in favor of one false narrative over the other, and thus refuse to investigate or hear arguments against their cho…

Yes, but where does the US launch them? China can launch a swarm of these from the Pacific and guarantee they'll overfly the US and Canada due to the jetstream. Where can the US mi…

Thank you for providing some local perspective. These things don't just happen in a vacuum but it can be hard to discern the threads that got us here without eyewitness accounts.

If I had to be somewhere at 5:30 am on a Friday morning, it had sure better be a church, because God help you when I find the person who came up with that schedule!

If you live in an area with a craft brewery scene, ask them about which night of the week is slowest. Offer to host an event... trivia, board games, a hobby meet up, whatever you a…

My interpretation of that comment was, "I'm not in favor of increasing the size of government, but I'd rather see a government labor board exist than another union."

You're absolutely correct regarding tips being a "subsidy for the business". The reason "tipped minimum wage" (where it exists) is lower than actual minimum wage is because the bus…

This is already how the price of labor in a global market works. In many companies, virtual workers are already paid on a scale based on their home market price, not the market pri…

Point well made. This is not a military autocracy. Neither the military nor law enforcement should have any special privileges with regards to violating the law or the established …
