The idea is that the sound of an impact drill adds to the noise pollution of a supposedly "natural" area, and that they're "too easy" so they result in a proliferation of bolts in the rock. There's a lot of argument…

The problem is that a lot of people aren't capable of working remotely and/or treat work from home as a day off. Well, that's half the problem. The other half is the tendency of many managers to view all requests to…
>Turns out the answer was _always_ "No." My experience has been the opposite. I bought a Pebble so I could know whether I had to put down my tools, pull out my phone, and answer a call from my boss; or if I could just…
no, it just prolongs the inevitable. The first player to gain an edge on the others still eventually wins, it's just that it takes hours instead of minutes.
That's not the reason. Benadryl being in blister packs long predates its use in meth cooking, like by 30 years. The real reason is more likely marketing. If they sold them in a bottle, the amount they charge for those…

The physical vinyl won't outlast your digital, it'll just fail more gracefully, slowly losing fidelity every time you scrape it with a needle. You're just replacing a small chance of catastrophic failure with a…
There should probably be a restriction on offering plea bargains, basically eliminating "plead to a lesser charge". The DA should be allowed to prosecute no more than the charges they want you to plead to. Piling on…
YMMV with Nextdoor . THe only thing I can vouch for about my neighbors on Nextdoor is that they're all batshit insane racists.

There are sanctions in place against individual Venezuelan officials for their part in human rights abuses, and a general embargo on arms, but other than that, no. The US is still Venezuela's largest trade partner.
The practice of wearing a surgical mask in asian countries is far more than 10 years old. I saw it in Hong Kong and Shanghai in the 70's.
Most of the power generation reactors in the US are privately owned, so probably about the same.
"Irradiated" and "radioactive" are not the same thing. An irradiated sandwich poses absolutely no threat to its consumer.
He's only declining FIELD sobriety tests. I know of no state that automatically pulls licenses for refusal to play along with a FIELD sobriety test.
Yeah, you kind of have to keep the context in mind when reading about Feynman's "pick up artist" stories. Much of it takes place not only in the context of the "hook up scene", but also in the hook up scene fifty-plus…
"Coercion" is specifically the use of threats. "Inducement" is a broader category that includes other methods like begging, badgering, and wheedling.
I've seen several critical opinions of Stanford Prison and Milgram, and they laid out all their objections. Do you have a link to something that lays out specific objections to the way Rat Park was conducted?
Higher pay doesn't address the problem with cops. They pay cops VERY well in my city, and yet they are still in the news constantly with the same sort of antics. The problem is that the job of law enforcement is BORING.…

"my data" implies ownership in this context. The more accurate phrase for what you appear to be trying to say would be "data about me".
Citation of a CS PhD from MIT does not constitute proof that he could earn a 4.0 in Great Theoretical Ideas in Computer Science at CMU studying only an hour a week. no need to take it personally
