Even if you're only assembling one IKEA thing every now and then it's still worth picking up. Makes building anything from there less stressful, especially those cam screws. I boug…

Yes, on my smart TV app it's so slow and glitchy that the 5-second ad preview often plays for 10+ seconds before the "Skip Ad" button finally appears. Add to that the 5-7 seconds o…

And could have had the same problem as Columbia. There was no quick fix to ensure Atlantis didn't meet the same fate.

http://www.healthdata.org/covid/covid-19-vaccine-efficacy-su... There's a PDF in this article that links to dozens of independent studies. Or, just google "covid vaccine efficacy" …

So you haven't even tried the program but you say it causes people to "swelter"? How do you know? And the rebate is "up to" $100, not $100.

If you're sweltering then maybe something is wrong with your setup. I've been on Rocky Mountain Power's version of this program for seven years and have only noticed that it's one …

You didn’t respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of the point I was making when you said strep can sometimes cause OCD symptoms.

Very well said. Consider how people like to say they have OCD because they think it’s just “liking to be clean”. Most people like things to be clean, right? So anyone could be diag…

I've lived in the 'burbs of two major cities and both let you apply to attend a school outside your "boundary." One will approve your request automatically as long as there is spac…

It's not an invention of Wikipedia editors. If you just read the first paragraph of the article it explains the accepted meaning has evolved over time. It further explains "The dis…

That’s how I learned it too, but apparently that is “traditional” grammar. In “modern” grammar any verb with the -ing ending is a gerund now according to Wikipedia.

The problem they are trying to solve is offering more stable online learning options. Methinks it may have been spurred on by this whole "global pandemic" situation. The article ex…

By cutting "option" off of the end of the title you have made this sound more alarmist.

It's not strictly impossible, but it's highly improbable. If she was capable of writing that at 5 her whole life would have been on a different trajectory.

There's nothing arbitrary about paying a living wage. I could rephrase your argument as "Shouldn't businesses be able to pay poverty wages, and taxpayers can make up the difference…

Any successful mitigation will look like an overreaction in hindsight.

> Yes, if they could have proved they also received what was stolen, that would have been a slam dunk but there are enough plausible reasons why they can't find the money. Maybe it…

Everyone I’ve been around says “dub-ull”. I moved from Michigan to Utah as an adult and pen/pin can be very close here, which I find annoying because I don’t want my kids to pick u…

I’m a native speaker from the north and west US and it’s definitely “double-u”. A double-u S. In my experience only Southerners shorten it the way you describe.

It's a pet peeve of mine for people to make a bold statement like "Covid barely spreads through children" when there's no scientific consensus yet. I want it to be true, but it wou…

I just clicked through that link and there are several hypotheses for what caused the extinction of these animals. You state it was humans alone as if this were fact.

It's the blue tape that changed, not the "smile".

I think it's a cool idea but it's so different and abstract I can't find the app even when I'm looking right at it. Hopefully I'll get used to it. Also, the Hitler-esque tape at le…
