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…
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…
I didn't know posting racist conspiracy theories with no evidence was allowed on this website...

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…
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…
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…
My reply had nothing to do with Unity. It was directed at the statement that Unreal being source-available is somehow equivalent to being able to freely fork and modify Godot to add specific features. Furthermore, many…
That's not really true. You can't modify it free of cost; you still have to pay the royalties to use it. You also can't modify it in any way you like, there are numerous restrictions in the EULA on how exactly you can…
Old unions like this one that were originally more specific to a trade can and do attempt to expand and cover any type of trade if they want to. They also absorb (merge with) smaller unions all the time, even if the…
