McMaster university. Never saw beer pong. Or the ubiquity of the solo cup (sure there are red cups in Canada, but in the us they are everywhere)

I come from Canada, and I was shocked

Hmmm I've received so much counterfeit stuff from amazon. I wonder if we'll also block the American company of a politically well connected billionaire?

Well I can dream.

Today a first taste can be doctor's prescription for pain. Pain killers are often potent, addictive, opioids. There is also some evidence that some pharmaceuticals mislead doctors about their potential for abuse.

Who are you referring to as free market ideologues? Many purport to be.

An anarco-capitalist (an anti-rand) libertarian flavor) rejects involuntary commitment as a matter of dogma. So these institutions cannot exist, even if they are following the "law".

Furthermore it is the state who has monopoly over violence that legitimizes this behavior (the history of physiology, involuntary commitment, and state violence is rich and fascinating).

Libertarians see this as violence over an individual. Not being the initiator of the violence, the victims have a full moral right to use violent means to defend themselves, up to and including deadly force.

Right or wrong, these "free market extremists" have a more nuanced position than "the market will sort it out"

Yes, somehow.

What they technically did is raise the chemical potential, mu, of the gas phase (the phase with the lowest mu wins). TL/DR, but I'm not too impressed from a theoretical POV.

The problem to replicate this is "what do you do to raise the mu of the non super-conducting phase?". That's not trivial as many things raise the mu of the super conducting phase instead, like applied magnetic fields.

Except that IQ is only approximately normal at small deviations from the mean. Otherwise it's quite skewed

I mean no one has IQ of -5.

Comcast always screwed up my billing. Luckily I moved somewhere they do not service !

You forget that the GOP fractured and there was a neocon candidate whose vote would have gone to Trump otherwise.

A couple hundred thousand votes difference is a tie. It's bad weather in Texas or California turning off a quarter million voters and ending up with the same result.

This is how I found hacker news and combinatorial back in 2011.

I'd just gotten my first smartphone and I went and searched for a "hacking app". An app for hacker news came up instead.

Several usr names and smartphones (and two dumb phones) later, I check check this site daily.

Hacking elections is a declaration of war? Then the US should be at war with dozens of countless!

Oh, wait... It is!

I don't think many, if any, cross it as it is. Not as a necessity in their life cycle anyway.

The strait is really narrow, with really strong currents and a huge change in salinity.

Not fun.
