No link to the "study" itself so we can review its methodology. No critical inquiry at all from the NYT. It's treated as truth immediately despite the absurdity on its face.

I tried watching this show once and it wasn't about nerds, it was about what non-nerds think nerds are. The laugh track on top of that drove me crazy. It was unwatchable. I genuinely don't understand how it was so popular.

Mexico is rapidly approaching failed-state status. Very large swaths of the country no longer have a functioning government, just cartels.

I would think that makes him pretty smart.

You just made parent's point perfectly. A total lack of self awareness.

> Democrats are against outright hostility and blatant marginalization of certain classes

What rock are you living under?

I presume that's just one direction?

It's the new puritanical movement.

Anything similar in Android?

I've never heard of a yellow booklet.

I wish there was data out there on how much plastic actually gets recycled. It seems like no one can actually tell us. I'm suspecting more and more that recycling of plastic is nearly completely a scam.

I understand that. But New Orleans is subsiding. It's sinking every year. It's easier to maintain levees if the land beneath them isn't sinking. I don't know why my comment is getting downvoted.

New Orleans is sinking at a rate of up to 2 inches per year:

Is the Netherlands sinking though?

Android version? I'd love to use this.

> By the time of the Ethiopian crash, 737 pilots everywhere knew all about MCAS and the procedure for disabling it. A preliminary report issued last week by Ethiopian Airlines indicates that after a few minutes of wrestling with the control yoke, the pilots on Flight 302 did invoke the checklist procedure, and moved the STAB TRIM switches to CUTOUT. The stabilizer then stopped responding to MCAS nose-down commands, but the pilots were unable to regain control of the airplane.

> It’s not entirely clear why they failed or what was going on in the cockpit in those last minutes. One factor may be that the cutout switch disables not only automatic pitch trim movements but also manual ones requested through the buttons on the control yoke. The switch cuts all power to the electric motor that moves the stabilizer. In this situation the only way to adjust the trim is to turn the hand crank wheels near the pilots’ knees.

Wow, so disabling MCAS also disables all stabilizer commands?

Priceline Gas.

It wasn't a positive impression. The town seemed like many other rural towns, especially in New Mexico. Dying. The Burger King was out of lettuce and ketchup, the Wall Mart was... interesting, and the motel I stayed in was pretty terrible. Add to that a wind storm in the middle of the night -- hot wind -- a parking lot with no lighting, and my Chihuahua that needed to go potty at 4am.

I went last year. Socorro was itself a world of its own.

The person who initially invested does. I don't see at all how this is a tax dodge.

Am I the only one that is just annoyed at the tone and language of everything he writes? The guy doesn't seem to have a soul.

I highly recommend the ICBM museum in Tuscon. They go through the entire launch process for the tour. It takes less than a minute. It's quite something to imagine that within that short period, the end of civilization would be guaranteed.

I feel like the mini is way underrated and I was worried they would cancel it. My mini is my favorite device. I'm excited to trade in my old one for a new one.

The peak in the late 80s seems to correlate well with the global phaseout of leaded gasoline. In the US, the phaseout began in the mid 70s and leaded gasoline was completely banned by 1996.

> A 1994 study had indicated that the concentration of lead in the blood of the U.S. population had dropped 78% from 1976 to 1991.

Where's the competing leave the EU petition?

This is a state-level law. And real estate agent lobbying is extremely powerful. I don't see it changing any time soon.

I'll announce my scarlet letter to make a point. I was recently tested for HSV and came back positive for HSV-2. I've never been tested before so I have no idea how long I've had it, but it was a surprise because I've had zero symptoms. In fact, I figured it was a false positive so I got re-tested.
