beneficial bacteria are tolerant of acidic environments (yogurt/pickles/kimchi), and while a bulk of them die in the stomach some do get through. we know this because eating probiotic rich foods regularly does result in…
Why would someone go to college and then abandon their degree to learn a trade? The whole point of college is to get a desk job and to avoid manual labor. Plumbers have to literally scoop poop out with their hands once…
San Diego's tap water tastes truly awful. The first time I ever traveled to another city (Denver), I was forced to drink the tap water and could not believe how good it tasted.
There's plenty of small businesses in Japan that straight-up ask you to leave at the door if you look foreign, despite being fluent. A lot of landlords refuse to rent to any non-Japanese people, despite being fluent. A…
Over 20% of American adults have a literacy proficiency at or below Level 1. This is defined as "difficulty using or understanding print materials" and "may struggle to understand texts beyond filling out basic forms."…
No, the subjects are already interesting. What we need is to pay teachers a good, above-average wage, and to continuously invest in their professional development throughout their careers. Only a good, well-trained…
The "good old boys" stereotype is a stereotype for a reason: it doesn't actually happen in meaningful numbers. If you get paid well, have good benefits, and can't get fired arbitrarily (union still allows for firing…
it's more likely that these companies would rather save a few pennies by introducing a new 64 kbps codec that reduces quality by only 10%, while offering the old codec's bitrate as a “fidelity mode” for premium+…
I didn't know posting racist conspiracy theories with no evidence was allowed on this website...

Blaming victims and being ignorant is a choice, one you made multiple times in this thread.
Pay for Kagi or any other good, paid search engine, which is already superior to Google today?
Sadly, I predict that even when faced with these facts, people will continue to increase their meat consumption over the coming years, as the current trend shows no signs of stopping. It's also unlikely the government…
Your portrayal of libraries is inaccurate and overly negative. Library staff can ask people to leave, and if they refuse, staff can call the police and ban people like this from returning once they're removed. I grew up…
I didn't say they were created by new farming techniques, I said new jobs in general were created by increased urbanization, which was partially fed by agricultural innovations over time. For example, Jethro Tull's seed…
I guess it's their fault for not being clairvoyant before AI arrived, and for sharing their portfolio with others online to advertise their skills for commissions to pay for food and rent.
The net result was positive in that new jobs were created for every farming job lost, as people moved to cities. If AI replaces millions of jobs, it will be a net negative in job availability for working class people. I…
Incredible to witness someone not only confidently spouting misinformation, but also including a link to the correct information without reading it.
I'm confused by this, humans already had well-developed and complex language well before we started moving out of Africa into Europe.
This isn't funny. Mice and rats are among the most intelligent animals used in research, and despite ethical regulations on their treatment, they are often ignored. Many of these animals endure severe procedures without…
The term 'disingenuous' isn't about malice, it's about misleading comparisons. Equating the well-documented issue of micro/nanoplastics with hypothetical (and inaccurate) risks from glass muddies the water on a serious…
This is completely inaccurate and disingenuous. Glass suffers from no such thing as "microglass", unlike plastic. Plastic actively sheds micro/nanoplastics into bottled water, with hundreds of thousands of particles…
True, we should change bankruptcy law so hedge funds get priority over employees who worked their whole lives for a company. This will benefit all workers with pensions that invest in hedge funds.
It's pedantic to say it isn't free when...it isn't? Plenty of smaller games make over $1 million. It's news to me that the concept of free is whatever the reader wants it to be. Free as in beer or free as in freedom,…
Yes, royalties apply after $1 million, hence, not free. Plenty of small/medium studios use Unreal. Free for educational purposes means it is not free, since the royalties still apply if the game is released. Last time I…
