We can be sure that the shooter was not aiming for the neck. Chest is more likely, but head is possible.

Or you could just not imply that people are racist when they want to discuss the truth.

> If Tylenol causes autism, how did those parents in the 1920s get their hands on it?

The claim is that Tylenol is a factor that increases the risk of autism. It is not the cause of 100% of all cases.

That said, the first synthesis of Paracetamol in the USA was Johns Hopkins in 1877, so maybe the answer is they went to Baltimore.

> What's to be done? I really ask: What's to be done about it?

There's a document that gets posted every so often here called The Return Rate on Everything. In it, it says that the returns on capital outweigh economic growth, meaning capital gets more concentrated, at all times except during war.

So the answer to your question would seem to be 'war'.

I suspect this is why it's good for the USA to be constantly at war. If you're only at war occasionally, you forget how to make war and can lose. If you're at war constantly, you'll remember how to do it.

IME this allows the BAs who are writing ticket requirements to also write tests. It works. The dev may have to tweak the tests to get them to compile, but it an org that is willing to spend quite a bit of money on testing (e.g. public sector) this is a format that devs and BAs can read.

Being Christian does not mean one is not feminist. This person seems to advocate for a multitude of things including ones that are historically feminist (of at least one commonly accepted variety of feminism). Those advocations make it reasonable to call her a feminist.

Banana Ball does a lot of rules experimentation toward the aim of making baseball more fun for the fans.

A 21K deficit over 3 weeks would be 1000 Cal/day of deficit. For comparison, this is the amount of deficit required to lose 2 pounds per week, which many people do.

What an idiotic article.

> Someone posted the footage online. A pile-up ensued. And their lives were turned upside down.

No, they created a situation where their lives would inevitably be turned upside down, and one of many possible triggers was hit.

> any of us might, for any particular reason, become... flawed people in the wrong place at the wrong time

No, they are people who chose to break their word to their spouses, and to break the social contract.

> the viral potential of these kinds of stories is a warning sign that our culture is obsessed with shame, surveillance, and control.

Shame is how a society polices its members without violence. Shame is good because it leaves the parties healthier than the alternative. They deserved to be shamed.

> An obsession with other people’s private lives is a sickness.

No, it has been the normal state of humans for probably as long as humans have existed. Humans survive in groups.

I usually hear "they went to emerg(e?)"

It's inevitable that future LLMs will provide therapy services for many people for the simple reason that therapists are expensive and LLM output is very, very cheap.

If I had 8 billion in cash in my bank account and put in a transfer order, they'd block it, call me, make me come into a branch, make sure there weren't any burly guys with wrenches escorting me in, and maybe call the FBI if anything seemed off.

And if it was still legit after that, there would be days or weeks of waiting for the transfer to actually happen, during which time I could call and cancel.

Yes. Or to rephrase, debt/interest is a way of moving money through time.

I think companies view it as a trade secret. Whether or not that particular app is making money, regardless of how old it is, they don't want to release the code.

They might still be - aside from guitar amps, vacuum tubes' biggest relative strength was in high power radio amplification.

The US stock market has not had a negative return over any 30 year span. There are 30 year spans with total returns under 10%, which significantly lag what bonds returned in those spans.

> And its asinine to compare counts of attendees to a church as the number of employees at a company.

You did not comprehend my comments, because I did not.

> And while it might be sound legal advice to shut your mouth, it's not necessarily the moral thing to do.

I hope that you argue that the 5th amendment is immoral when anyone uses it, and not just pastors.

> If the person leading the congregation is making significantly more than the poorest of the congregation there's a real problem.

Ideally a congregation will include all of society, which will include people making zero, so your argument becomes that a pastor making significantly more than zero is immoral.

I would challenge you to find a moral basis for that in the Bible.

Rationally, I agree. But IRL it's surprisingly hard to measure the value of a company - both the assets and the value of continuing operations - even without considering they are in constant flux, even if there's no trickery.

> But he continued to lie about it until recently

From what I've heard, he has disclosed actions years, possibly decades, ago but did not mention that involvement of a minor. I expect this is because a lawyer, or possibly anyone with a quarter of a brain, gave the same advice to him as they would any other human - shut your mouth. Is that a wrong?

> And now he's suing the church for millions of dollars for some retirement he feels he's entitled to.

One article [0] says "his attorney sent a letter to church lawyers [demanding] more than $1 million that had accrued in Morris's retirement account". Again, I suspect that he is getting advice from lawyers to do what they would advise any other human to do - collect on earned retirement benefits. Is that a wrong?

> He's massively enriching himself, to continue living a lavish lifestyle

If you'll forgive the crudeness of this comparison, I expect that running a church of 100,000 attendees to be of comparable, but not equal, complexity as a company with 100,000 customers. That could make running Gateway in the same ballpark as running Asana. The CEO of Asana gets 15 million a year for his trouble. Morris got, what, 5% of that? 3%? Is it self-enrichment to offer world-class leadership to a church at a 95% discount to its free market value?

The original shares ended up being worth $8. There might have been a point during the bankruptcy were they were worth nothing (due to changing used car values) but in the end they were worth something.

Regarding the Robert Morris reference, not going to defend any action, but I will point out his 'bad action' was 40 years ago.

Why does that matter? There are abuses happening now, every day, by high profile. Some (Epstein, Diddy) are starting to be caught. Others (Drake) may face judgement far into the future. Others (Chris Brown) never will.

If criticizing modern church culture requires referencing acts of 40 years ago, and criticizing secular culture requires references acts that happened recently, and will probably happen again tomorrow, that could indicate that the modern USA church is doing better than we think. Possibly a lot better.

Misleading - the study did not find any job loss, it collected "perceive[d] potential of automation" and predicts job impact.
