Hollywood has always been a little bit dumb, a little bit over-written. It's hard to have both artistic individualism and a reliable business. This is not a new trend. The examples are not very good. I would take…
This is poorly reported. From the article: * Group A reported a 26% increase in participants staying in housing they rented or owned; * Group B reported a 35% increase in housing they rented or owned; * And Group C,…
Right here, a free, public, and professionally-designed report: https://wikimediafoundation.org/about/annualreport/2022-annu... Regular announcements of specific grants:…
Have you tried taking a warmed-up water bottle, chilling it, and pouring it into a glass? I wonder if part of it is the psychological effect.
I'm not disagreeing per se, but you may be interested to listen to this interview with the Competition Commissioner for more perspective. My takeaway is that it's the laws, not the enforcers, that need to change:…
I'm happy you have a functioning government in Germany!
I mean, you could have spent 5 minutes Googling the answers to your questions. Here is some reading on this topic: https://www.thestar.com/business/2022/07/09/supermarkets-are...…
What do you mean? There are tons of these around. Are you complaining that none of them are popular enough?
I would recommend examine.com as a research tool. One of the few sites not trying to sell you supplements.
I think that sounds conspiratorial. If there is someone in elected office who has this sort of control, why not do it year-round? Since this is a worldwide trend, how are they able to control it outside their borders?
I don't think it's based on safety, either. It's almost certainly a safety perception / marketing thing. However, the type of bike they are using is much safer than a normal bicycle because of its size.
The physics don't work that way. With a normal bicycle, you go over the handlebars because the whole bike tips forward - it's just gravity + momentum. Then you faceplant. With a wheelbase of 2-3m, there's just no way…
Did you read the article? These bikes are 2-3 meters long. There is no chance of this type of injury occurring with them.
That's not the quote.
Back to your original comment, >Thank god one's civil liberties aren't dependent on whether or not you are convinced by them. Apparently they are dependent on whether SCOTUS is convinced. A DUI checkpoint is…
See the Supreme Court ruling on this matter, elsewhere in this thread.
Can you tell me which of your civil liberties is being violated by DUI checkpoints?
I find these arguments much more convincing than "muh freedom". If these points are supported by evidence (especially #4) then that's good enough for me.
I reject your reasoning of pushing things into absolutes - drunk driving needs to be minimized, and people need to get where they are going. There's a balance between those needs that is optimal. Nobody is preventing…
I'm shocked at the comments in this thread decrying DUI checkpoints. Does anyone not see drunk driving as a serious threat to public safety?
