My father has commented to me about the weird warrior/war-fighter phrasing that came into vogue in the late 90’s. He remembered as a young soldier in the early 80’s not hearing tho…

Tropical tree seahorse?

You gotta make sure they install them right. The UV light can degrade the insulation on wires, or break down expensive HEPA or bag filters. If they put the light in the wrong place…

So why did this conversation needed to be kept from malign rogue anti-Trumpers in the NSA (who would be risking very real jail time) but did not require the basic level of OPSEC th…

Well Jefferson certainly wasn't ever wrong about anything. He certainly wouldn't have held any beliefs contrary to 20th or 21st century values. /s Obviously the dude had a lot of g…

I guess you could argue back in 1776 AI and aluminum had a roughly equal impact, only for aluminum to over take AI and become far more important by the early 20th century… Pedantic…

Yeah people forget that Sushi was once considered very adventurous to most people, and than a huge percentage of American men only first experienced hot sauce as Tabasco sauce in t…

He’s not your “bro” little mister, he’s clearly your elder!

I wonder if a better use would be to establish a new medical school at a university without one. It seems like if society has too few doctors we need additional medical student spo…

Yeah it’s always crazy looking down some street perpendicular to the levee and seeing something the size of a skyscraper on its side slide by at 10 mph.

If the scratches are on the inside it might not look too bad after you fill it with water, but still a bummer.

The noise maker (alarm) is still close to him.

True, but these are also medieval farmer’s fields, about as all-natural and organic as possible. They are certainly more natural than a parking lot, and barring very much stone con…

Definitely. Filtering particulates and tempering the outside air is the way to go in anything but most extreme situations. I suspect even designing a fallout shelter you would want…

That’s like saying spheres aren't real because no perfect sphere exists. I think objectively exploring the merits of both sides of an argument is possible, and in many cases laudab…

I recall hearing an NPR piece in the past couple months that was discussing how best to handle reparations for slavery. The entire piece clearly came from the conceit that reparati…

Indeed. While you might dislike Neo-liberalism, Reagan-ism, or Bush's "Compassionate Conservatism," as Walter Sobchak said: at least it's an ethos. Trumpism believes in nothing but…

Except inflation, in the US we gave everyone money a couple of years ago (probably had to) and it caused (probably unavoidable) spectacular inflation. We narrowly achieved our soft…

I think this will go over poorly in some parts of the democratic coalition. I don’t know that blue collar workers including blacks and hispanics will care for this much, or that ce…

The public service loan discharge “used” to be broken and people were always rejected, but they made significant overhauls a few years back. My father for example, had his loans fo…

The comparison was specifically to the last attempt which was just scattershot. Radiologist who just paid off you loans: no soup for you! Radiologist who still has loans but will s…

I go to a restaurant where the owner has recently hung a sign reading “The World is Yours” as though Tony Montana from Scarface should be regarded a fount of wisdom.

Maybe it’s just my small sample size, but I’m surprised at how many of the artists are women given the dates. I wonder if there is something about botanical illustrations that was …

Parent poster didn’t seem interested it meeting some arbitrary diversity metric, it was that huge amount of potential talent is entirely unknown. Because the barrier to entry is lo…
