My father's family have been in Maryland since the 1600s. When my father made fried chicken, he made it with lard, a seasoned breading, and a milk gravy, somewhat like country fried steak. But he never billed it as…
Man, I seriously hope people don't use what they post here to predict the outcome of future interactions.
A civil war happened the last time a King Charles broke with Parliament.
In terms of ethnicity, isn't China something like 91% Han Chinese? I wonder if that has anything to do with the incentive structure behind why their media denigrates other races.
You really sound like you know what other people should be doing. Have you considered a career in management?
Euclid's Elements. I was gifted at most everything language-related in school, but I was complete dogshit at math. Studying Euclid changed my entire perspective. I don't think I'd have had the self-belief to do…
The psychology involved in the response you're wondering about is really quite simple to understand.
It's something of a meme to say talk about shorting what he recommends his viewers buy. Sometimes people will come up with data showing that if you did that over such-and-such a period you'd be up like 50%, but I don't…
If history's any indication, you can't give companies an inch. They'll take advantage of employee ignorance of the law, or do shady things with the payments under the logic that if the employee sues them for the money…
Confessions is on the program Sophomore year, as are excerpts from Summa Theologica. I vaguely remember one of the differences between the campuses being that Annapolis students read some Calvin and Santa Fe students…
I forget if War and Peace was the first book of a semester or whether it was over spring break, but long novels were typically scheduled so that you had some free time away to read them. The books me and my friends…
That's an extremely complicated question for me. I'll talk about each of the classes and offer what thoughts I can: Math -- without math class at St. Johns I don't think I'd have ever thought I could be a programmer,…
You're right, that view is "a little" dramatic. The Holocaust proposition was maybe more defensible 20 years ago when we could still look at Third World with rose-colored glasses. Nowadays, I think if someone argues…
St. John's graduate here. It looks like that list includes a lot of what we read in "lab" class mixed in with what we read in math class. Freshman math was almost entirely the study of Euclid and Nicomachus.
To my knowledge in the US "40 and older" is a protected class but "under 40" is not.
As an example of this, Oregon's had the 'Death With Dignity Act' since 1997. It allows a process for terminally ill people with a prognosis of less than 6 months to live to see a doctor and be prescribed a lethal dose.…
I assume "this job takes team bonding so seriously that when the boss tells you to get drunk with him or get in bed with another random employee, that's just part of the job, so don't work here if you're not cool with…
To 'subduct' is to take away or subtract from.
Marketwatch is a subsidiary of Dow Jones which is a subsidiary of News Corp, which also owns Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, and Investor's Business Daily, among others.
Can the universe be infinite? Whatever layer of contingent substrate one finds, can't there be another one lurking behind it, just as contingent?
Well, sure, there are philosophical problems with having to work at all for a living -- but work is required by nature. If one sits and does nothing, one starves to death. There's nothing in the natural order that says…
Do you think that it does justice to the victims of Jan 6th and the victims of the siege of the Colombian Palace of Justice to say that both of those events are the same crime? They're both deserving of the same…
I must have missed the part where the Jan 6th insurrectionists had machine guns and bombs and took hostages. Pretty alarming, if true. Do you have sources for how these two events are at all similar beyond that both…
American lawyers, as a profession, have one of the highest rates of alcohol abuse and mental illness in the country.
Working from a corporate office is entirely someone holding me hostage. I hate it like I hate death. It's my sincere hope that Malcolm continues his slide into irrelevancy.
