It suggests that my solution, “house the homeless” should be discarded because it is not a perfect solution, which would be filling my house up with strangers. The goal is to make me say, “oh, I’m not willing to do that, so we should do nothing instead.”

This may be a mixture of a bunch of different arguments. There is the anti-Nimby argument which calls out Nimbys who want an end to homelessness but vote against the construction of housing for them in their neighbourhoods. “Why don’t you house homeless people in your house?” is a much more extreme, unreasonable, and therefore less efficacious version of that idea.

There is also the more general argument (from the right) that government shouldn’t be in the business of housing the homeless. The above line then proceeds by saying that your unwillingness to invite homeless people into your house is an indication that your solution to the problem is to get other people to solve the problem for you. This may also incorporate the anti-Nimby line by further claiming that what you really want is an “out of sight, out of mind” solution to homelessness.

You can order 3000 3.3V low drop out (LDO) voltage regulators on LCSC for $25.50. That’s less than a penny each.

Right but OP is talking about a house in Waleska, Georgia, which has a population of 921 (as of 2020 census). Not really on the same level as Toronto or Vancouver!

People with certain mental illnesses are far more susceptible to conspiracy theories and other such nonsense. It doesn’t excuse what he did but it’s important to recognize this. Our society is a much more dangerous place for these kinds of vulnerable individuals than it was before mass media, simply because of the huge amount of exposure they have to harmful materials.

Double dosing on ADHD meds might not kill you but it can cause anxiety attacks or even seizures. If it’s an extended release formula then you could be in for a very bad day!

Absolutely nailed the look. I’ve seen so many PhD students with that exact look!

I’m actually taking a weekly course on model railroading! We have homework involving stuff like modeling terrain with plaster and painting landscape layers! I would not get that stuff done if it wasn’t due at the next class!

Just need a professor emailing you that your crocheted sweater is due tomorrow at 8am!

It’s extremely common for different fields of inquiry (scientific, mathematical, philosophical, etc) to reuse common words. If we had to come up with brand new words for everything in every field then we’d all be speaking gibberish, like they do in medicine!

Wow thanks! I’ve seen other instances of this fallacy but never knew its name (nor recognized that it is a common fallacy form).

I struggled a lot with watering early on! Overgrown plants in small pots have almost no water capacity in the soil. Plants you buy from the nursery are frequently overgrown for their containers and need to be transplanted relatively soon after you bring them home.

Also tricky is that if you put a plant in too large of a pot then the water capacity of the soil will be too high and then the plant can come down with root rot!

Now I’ve gotten used to checking the soil, especially at the bottom of the pot, for dryness and then watering as needed. It also depends on the plant species (plants can vary all the way from desert-loving dry species to fully aquatic plants)!

I’m a guy and I hate dealing with boys/men in online games too. I love Stardew Valley as well! The game got me interested in real life gardening as a hobby!

Same story in Canada. A big decline in total farmland (decline of 13.1 million acres or 7.9%) but an increase of 3.6 million acres in crop land. This represents an increase in intensity and density of farmland and a decrease in farmland used for non productive applications.

One of the big differences recorded in this report is a 62% decrease in the number of people living on farms from 1971-2021. A decrease in the amount of farmland used for living spaces (farmhouse, garden, garage) may be a big factor in the above crop:farmland ratio changes, as would a consolidation of farms (total number of farms decreased from 246K to 189K from 2001-2021).

What this all says to me is that economies of scale play a huge role in North American farming, and that our subsidy structures do not favour small farms.

You can fault the Right for a lot of things but they got there first on this one. They have a story for why things suck and they’re pounding the drum on it relentlessly. It doesn’t matter that this story is full of holes when the alternative is not compelling.

That’s not what determines whether a country is a 2 party system or a multi party system. There are plenty of countries that have small parties which have never formed government themselves but nevertheless have held real power in coalitions or minority parliaments.

Canada’s public health care system was created by Tommy Douglas, an NDP MP and party leader. If Canada were strictly a two party system like the US then that would never have happened.

Not Canada. The NDP is more than just a spoiler. They hold the balance of power right now!

You also have to look at culture. Culture has such an enormous effect on people’s psychology and behaviour!

That’s for modesty!

No it’s to wipe the sauce off his chin after finishing a burger!
