Good point. I also find it to be an odd turn of phrase considering we spent those decades paying 70k a year or whatever to take care of them in prison. I'm going to have to start saying that my debt to society has been…
I'd like to see it tested in mars equivalent dust. I assume that the higher speed will correspond with more wear from sand blasting.
Maybe require that additional votes be different? Then they wouldn't be able to tell which was legit.
I was skeptical, but I'm happy with the decision. I can't cite anything for this, but I swear it rewrites your mind and body to be a more perfect parent. My own theory is that there are some kind of pheromones in baby…
I think you've got that backwards. If there were no Neanderthal genes on the x chromosome, then only men would have Neanderthal genes.
Doesn't seem to be. I edited out all the lines with Photoshop, and what remained looked identical.
I always wonder more about the airborne stuff. Blankets, carpets, clothing, furniture. In a sun beam you can see all the little fibers floating around. I bet I inhale and swallow way more plastic every year than I eat,…
Anyone capable of sending such a thing would have more than one home, plenty of time to respond, and likely some kind of automated military hub every X light years as an early response force. We certainly would if we…
Certainly. He's shown himself to be quite willing to listen. He postponed major Chinese tariffs on multiple occasions, referencing their good faith actions in negotiations. That was worth their time by itself. In the…
They only need to satisfy one man's opinion on whether they've done what they should. I see a very different picture of why he does what he does. In this case, I think he's trying to pressure House Democrats into…
Agreed. I'm a pretty solid artist who doesn't learn well from others, and I'll still praise the book. It had another lesson in it that I never see mentioned, one that was expanded on in Drawing on the Artist Within. Our…
When you're looking for something, you always find it in the last place you look.
I think it's dangerous to turn a complex and global issue into a binary social signaling device. We do terrible things to the planet. We should stop. Combining "should", goals, and politics only turns the majority of…
I think if they do that now, women will regret it for decades to come. Ending the draft the moment they would have been asked to stand beside their brothers, matching their promise to risk themselves in defense of our…
The tree I'd most like to know about is the one at the top of the page. I think I saw one once and I've been wondering what it is ever since. Anyone know?
I had some games I used to let the kids play on my phone once in a while, like the one where you tip it to roll the balls into the hole, or go through a maze without falling down. They were great, but only ad supported,…
Just a guess, but often politics is less about what gets done than it is about who gets to claim credit. Stalling until the next Congress could be someone either trying to take credit or offload blame, possibly not even…
And often intentionally. See "predator double tap strikes".
It gets women in the Olympics. We can either keep gendered sports and tell people of ambiguous gender where they aren't allowed to compete, or we can have an Olympics that is 99% male(ish) by birth or hormone…
I had a related thought that maybe someone here can answer. We've been approaching peak phosphorus, where we're using up the easy sources in much the way we do with oil. Like oil, we'll likely just find other sources as…
I'm glad Ars and others are doing this kind of reporting. The populace needs frequent reminders that ulterior motives are everywhere. There's a nearly inevitable lack of conscience within deeply established institutions…
Yeah, I always like to be the most conductive thing around in a lightning storm. Keeps life exciting. Doesn't resistance translate to heat and explosions? Besides, one in 7 million and all. https://xkcd.com/795/
Whether Tesla itself is the future or not, I don't know. I doubt Musk really wanted to be in the business of building cars. I think he did it to change the way everyone else builds cars. Not by decree of some minor…
Thank you so much for doing this. It has been a central political talking point for me for a long time, but I've never seen the data so well laid out. Obviously, it's just one factor among many, but I think heavy social…
The challenge would be making sure that only that modified wheat was harvested. I'm sure it could be done, but a needle in a haystack seems much easier to find than a conventional wheat in a celiac friendly wheat stack.…
