  • It doesn't sound like it's about caring or not. From the article, this situation was put into place originally as a transitional move and was never meant to have lasted for 80 years. Really, it's just saying that the people in those states have the same rights and responsibilities as any other citizen of India.

  • Empathy, as always, is the real problem with the GOP. They are perfectly fine when it's immigrants, liberals, gays, brown people, etc that suffer these laws. When angry white people get affected, then they are suddenly sad about it and suddenly were the whole time.

  • Yeah pre-calc is pretty much remedial math nowadays. You don't even get 100 level math until you're at intermediate algebra!

    Thinking of it in terms of statistics makes a lot of sense, I can see how this problem would help develop intuitions.

  • This country has no spine.

    Yet you don't want to just lock up any old person without all the proof and due process in the world. That's what's going on here--he has that right, just the same as you. The difference is that he has a lot of money, which can allow him to grad this out longer than the average person can get away with. He won't get away from it forever--even Jeffery Epstein went down.

  • It turns out that the methods used to make soap have gotten more efficient at using up all the base products. You really need sodium hydroxide (lye) and a fat, usually vegetable, but can be animal. You combine and cook it until a chemical reaction called saponification completes, and you have soap. Modern soap is going to have a lot more than just that in it (like color, scent, surfactants, etc.), but that's the basics.

    Back in the day, however, soap was shipped with free lye still floating in it. This is why you've always been told not to use soap on cast iron. It's also going to make your hands very dry. New soap doesn't have free lye floating around so it's not so hard on your hands and you CAN actually use it on cast iron, believe it or not.

  • I'm afraid that you lose far more than that just going to and from the bathroom, the coffee machine, or down the hall to your office from whichever door you had to walk into. This is not to say that your calculations are wrong, it's more a question of whether that is a useful metric.

  • I honestly believe that the people who complain about these aren't using them properly or work for people who don't know how to use them properly. People have been using some version of the huddle, standup, or SCRUM meeting for a very long time. Whether it's useful or wasteful is probably more a question about the people who are using them.

  • Take 1: If I understand correctly, several of them work for the same startup. Frankly, those places are KNOWN to be toxic hellholes because they tend to be run by adulation-seeking narcissists from an upper middle class (entitled) background. Shit rolls downhill and all and your friends may just be picking it up subconsciously and don't have the ability to really manage the emotions that this is causing. In a phrase: you might end up feeling sorry for them.

    Take 2: Are you recently out of high school or recently out of college? Few people really remain friends after this because they get pulled into different directions and their lives change. This causes things to fall apart, but it is nobody's fault.

    Take 3: These people have always been toxic. You didn't notice it before or didn't think it was a big deal. Now you notice it and think it is a big deal.
