But, should it be the governments responsibility to decide/control how children are raised, and what they are exposed to?

Maybe in the future, a governing body will try to age lock dissenting opinions with some crafty verbage

I'm curious what a bouldering app is? As in climbing, like a route checklist type thing?

I noticed those links went to the 8gb for $80. If you swap it to the 2gb when available it comes down to 50$.

Oh yeah, 100% agree and I'm going to use that bread baking analogy if its ever relevant again.

I swear I'm decent at conversation in real life, but I don't think I'm good at it online.

Yeah, I guess I had an intended tone without realizing it. I'm not sure I meant it to be sarcastic, but rephrasing his comment in questioning tone.

Oops

Why does knowledge we don't have matter?

Intro college Physics is reformatting formulas to solve for variables in other formulas, and inserting them into each other.

So even if c = (w+x+y+z), e=mc^2 and e=m(w+x+y+z)^2 would still be equivalent.

I think ultimately it just matters your comparison tolerance levels. You could just as easily make the argument that most churches are different from each other as well.

In my opinion, churches/mosque/temples are very similar because I live in a younger part of the world where the modern buildings look similar and the eventual purpose is them being a place of worship.

Yeah but you could say Chipotle and Panda Express buildings are very similar, but the core business is way different.

Are you comparing mosques/churches/temples, or are you comparing religions?

While I have neither, I'd much rather use a smart oven to see its status than have a constant camera feed of my kitchen.

Reading the article, it makes me think that they are making a real life aimbot for the Air Force.

It is getting silly though. Makes conversations with less than tech savvy people a little difficult lately since it's such a hot topic

I just want to throw out that "paid by the year" has not been a common thing in my American experience. I've never heard of anyone with that.

Unless they are talking about a yearly salary.

Maybe to access the drive, they have to go through a lockable case. If someone lost the keys to that case, they might have had to pop the locks with a bolt cutter

I don't understand the comparison. With cannabis companies, did the overall sales go down or did certain companies capture the market?

Because if it's about certain companies capturing the market, I'd put money on Disney

Feels like Twitter is about to get into the pimping business.

I lived in bear country, and still live relatively close and visit all the time. I think it's just generally safe to assume if someone says brown bear, it's a grizzly. Like the old saying doesn't work as well like

If it's black, fight back

If it's ursus arctos horribilis, lay down

If it's white, goodnight.

I feel like the first sentence of the wiki article explains it...

>The grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis), also known as the North American brown bear or simply grizzly, is a population or subspecies[2] of the brown bear inhabiting North America.
