And asbestos is a very generic term. There are certain particle sizes that are absolutely harmful and others that pose little to no effect. There should be a name for the dangerous particles regardless of meterial. Silicosis agents?

How's the 3d printing landscape for metal overall? I hear there have been made great strides in 3d printers that rely on sintering. Very affordable relatively speaking.

Any other methods that have gained traction?

I mean 15 dollars an hour might be enough to live in a sewer in New York. It's hard to imagine this has a huge affect on anyone.

Foreign agents are always discussed because frankly, they are almost completely outside of the law. But what about non-foreign agents? Surely, they exist, and the ones that break the laws to get their way should be thrown in jail, but when do you ever see that?

php, whether you like the language, or abhor it, has always had some of the most useful documentation, I've found.

I guess someone here IS a fan of echo chambers.

Moderation does not unbiased news make. Everything is biased. What you have is the news you are already biased towards - your own personal echo chamber.

Of course, cowards will always downvote without participation. That is the one true known.

Not a fan of echo chambers. I'd rather be wrong once in a while than happy in my ignorance.

Left or right should not automatically validate or invalidate any news source. Dishonest people do not adhere to any single political bent.

Another thing you should note is even though The New York Times is "the newspaper of record" there are tons of things they get consistently wrong, and seldom ever retract an iota as far as I've seen.

You also have in the news industry what is acceptable fact. There are facts, which if any one party find them negative to anyone reported, simply won't be reported. This is why the ideologies of China (blocking or discrediting news) fit so well with the US right now - we're already basically doing this.

What you just said is totally acceptable as opinion. But claiming "they deliberately craft misleading and false stories" is not provable by your person, since you do not yourself work there. There are people who really believe their drivel is true. I don't claim to know why this is, but flat-earthers seem to exist, even today, just as a side example.

The messenger does not automatically discredit the message. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Do you have some personal insider knowledge to substantiate this with? I mean I have some pretty heavy personal bias about the Washington Post being pro Amazon, and I would totally understand it if it was. But even then, I can't make a claim that they are deliberately making false stories. That's a level of knowledge I can't claim to have. That's also potential libel on your part.

It's nice to say it's luck, sure, and make everyone feel like they have a fair chance. However, I'm pretty certain the ones that obsess and plan the most to get rich and squeeze every little bit out they can into their plans have the best chance. Some lazy slob without the same attention to detail and effort just isn't going to make it.

I stopped with Facebook because of spying and narcissism. I stopped with Twitter because of selective tweet promotion and targeting - you're effectively giving a group power over your life guiding you what is right to watch or be concerned about. I don't ever want any media or pseudo-media company doing that. Presently I search a list of different sites with totally different leanings and try my best to capture the truth without the slant.

None of it is easy though.

I don't know. One is the person dedicated to the ideals of a tribe. The other dedicated to a tribe winning at all costs.

I'm really not an at all costs kind of guy. If my tribe ideals are good and needed, they should be elected.

This is the problem with most publications. It's get the news out first, rather than research and try to be unbiased. Bias is unfortunately what our news is today.

Is it impossible to discuss the merit of an article without stating "This is too far right"????

Honestly, trust this is bad because we said so is not a logical response. At least hot link to the opinion of why.

Is somebody automatically disreputable based upon their political affiliation? If so, perhaps MacCarthyism is alive and well! It would be fair game, of course to analyze the article and list the reasons it is or isn't accurate.

While true, and obvious to experienced drivers, not every light is vertical. Some are horizontally placed.

But why?

I'm sorry. Perhaps you should legalize a sport that purposely kills people. Tell me how that works out for you. And for the record, I don't care for football or hockey. They can both wither on the vine for all I care.

While we're at it, can we insist that all lights use blue-green instead of just green? That could help those that suffer from color blindness.

"But Johnson said it could take 10 years before such outages are "really ratcheted down significantly." "

Strikes me as a CEO that suddenly wants very much to have his golden parachute and be out of this pickle.

Also, if you haven't noticed, the Aztecs were historically very violent people. If you look at the people of middle america, it's no surprise they are still violent today.

This happens when you have societies that do not adequately punish violence. Societies that reward violence will most certainly produce more violence.

Genetics actually pass significant personality traits down.

Genetics is suddenly very unpopular as it can predict negative traits. Imagine that.

Keep up on Fish Oil Supplements. I forget where I read it, but there was a publication which attributed depression to living far from the coast. From there the idea circulated that a fish based diet would be beneficial. Omega3 fats are generally beneficial, but have as I have experienced acted as a mild anti-depressant.

Also, exercise. Do something outside of work that requires physical exertion, even if it's just walking.

Thanks for the downvote, Chinese sympathizers.
