All that will happen is people will develop scar tissue and just not tip anymore. People used to be polite and be nice when they picked up the phone from some number they didn't recognize. Scam artists USE this old custom to scam people. Well, most people don't even pick up the phone any more and for people that have to, like myself, the instant I recognize a cold call, I just hangup. I don't feel guilty about it anymore, in fact, I feel empowered.

Tipping at terminals is going to happen the same way. The idea that some minimum wage person is gonna recognize you, let alone still working at these places will key you in on this is just something that will go away.

Tip at a sitdown restaurant, that's normal. Tipping at a terminal for takeout, screw that.

The future belongs to those that show up.

4B + Quiverfull = I think you can guess.

These 51 intelligence professionals were not supposed to be politicians, they are supposed to be "experts" in the field.

The cynicism in the 51s statement is what's wrong. And the media taking the expected cynical take. The 51 can say we didn't say it was fake we simply strongly implied it. And the media reported the implied lie. The media is either ignorant or more likely complicit.

Good article. Reminded me of a time when I was told that a server was taking over 2 minutes to respond and they proved it with traceroute.

They were running "time traceroute host"

But no one is changing positions in the way you describe. Maybe they are changing tactics to APPEAR they are changing positions but actually aren't.

And I have issues with this idea, that we can know the populations well enough, to slice and dice and shave population groups until we have a 51% winning vote. That doesn't seem real.

Refusing the give fight to a chariot oriented army versus a non-chariot based army would seem to also be a big factor.

If you don't have chariots and they do, just fight where the chariots can't.

SAT/ACT are optional

"And though limited, the accommodations helped Ortiz become an honor-roll student and led to her acceptance to several colleges, including the University of Connecticut-Hartford, which she began attending part-time in August."

But can't read or do any math beyond addition? What?

Yeah but that region wasn't as economically important. And it had a critical problem where it was the border region with Scotland and a preferred entry point for the Danes. Depopulating the area makes sense from a medieval military perspective because invaders won't have crops and infrastructure to pull from as they transverse the region. Other states in this time period had similar state-directed depopulated areas on the border for the same reasons.

A skeptical read would be that the economics of Norman style feudalism heavily relies on the peasants to work the land. Obviously you need the peasants to stay in their place. If all the warrior caste have the same perspective, you can't be carting off the population and selling them off overseas, without some major friction. And if you are trying to "take" some land from another warlord, it's not going to be very economical for you to sell off the peasants, cause then who is going to work the land?

The horse isn't going to like that mounting method if the knight has spurs on.

You seem to have the assumption that libertarian opposition to bans is based on the practicality of such and not the principle of allowing adults to make their own choices

Slippery slopes and all that

What is a rat race? I've heard it all my life but until this moment I never questioned what it actually meant.

The examples they gave really can't be mitigated with insulation, unless you want to turn all these apartments into isolated bubbles, completely cut off from the environment. I mean you could probably do that, no balconies, no windows. I think you would be surprised at how far sound can travel through steel and concrete.

As for putting dwelling further apart, that's why we have the suburbs.

General employment includes working in pizza shops, factory floor sweepers, car salesmen, janitors, deboning chicken, making Happy Meal boxes, and of course tech jobs that pay low six figures.

To me it seems we have alot of the former (several food places that specialize in lunch are closed monday and tuesday due to not enough employees) but the latter is tough right now.

But the general unemployment metric is solidly good.

I recently fell down a wikipedia rabbit hole and found the interesting story of Archduke Wilhelm of Austria.

It was interesting to read about the diverse opinions of the different parts of the Hapsburg.

This is where academic writing filters into pop history then into the culture and then back to the academics who are like, "we never said that"

It's all so entertaining for the pop historians.

I have been using curl for this now.

All the systems have been gamed to death. The only thing left is connections and personality fit (ala gut instincts)

This was a interesting story.

Not cynicism, just 40 years of reading the news.

I am pointing out that the WP explicitly says here that Harvard and others were using race-based admissions as opposed to a more center-left friendly phrasing that schools couldn't use race as a factor for admissions or that the Supreme court struck down affirmative action.

This is all very coded normally.

Some editor was sleeping when they left this in there.

"After the Supreme Court struck down race-based admissions at Harvard and other schools"

Cuba would be quite a desirable place to live if it wasn't a socialist authoritarian state

"Ago" is kind of agglutinative. In english it isn't used by itself. It's pretty much a suffix even though by convention it is it's own word.

How about a fortnight ago?
