Similarly, what about flight simulators?

The parallels with modern video games are obvious.
Giblophile so encountered this years ago...definitely worth a watch.
That appears to be their observation of the two schools they had direct experience with. What else are you asking they provide here in terms of analysis? Maybe average student test scores? Likely available as it appears they are talking about public schools here. If the new school has significantly better scores would that satisfy your analysis requirement? If the test scores within their household subsequently follow this trend would that be sufficient analysis? In general active/concerned parents are going to try to get their kids the best education available right?
Also can you elaborate on where you got the "unfairly placed" part? All that was actually said was they moved from one school district to another. People buy homes for school districts all the time...there's a section dedicated to school rankings on Zillow for a reason.
I think this is an insightful comment with an element of truth and it's really, really sad. Yet another example of the net negative societal impact of social media.
Convenience/economic context aside, the grandparent/grandchild relationship/dynamic is incredibly important to a developing psyche.
Certainly don't want to speak for everyone but at least for us it's an enormous cost savings and is a "win-win" for everyone involved.
Another (seemingly less often discussed) advantage to WFH.
I for one welcome our new mushroom overlords.
Not sure of the exact number he's done, but I personally estimate I've watched at least 20-25 of these across a wide range of industries (majority are in food preparation/service but he also covers construction, tech, animation, airlines, education, politics, and many more) and if there's one overriding takeaway it's the Japanese as a culture are extremely committed to maximizing product quality.
It could be selection bias (maybe he only films exemplary people) but it doesn't seem to matter if you're dealing with someone preparing food, fighting fires, or delivering packages these people seem to really care about the overall quality of the service or product they provide.
A few others worth watching:

Honestly if you like any of these you'll likely find they're all worth watching.
My daughter who is 3 is only recently poddy-trained. She now knows to go to the bathroom next to her room. Before she was trained we had a "portable" toilet (think plastic bowl sitting in a toy-like toilet shell basically) she would occasionally use in her room.
Similarly we've recently trained her when she's done with eating to bring the plate to me or my wife to clean/put up (she can't reach any countertops).
Today she had to go and my wife was in the shower so she couldn't use her normal bathroom. She used her portable toilet, picked it up, and brought it to me to clean :).
This sort of "logic" happens all the time every day and I probably miss 90% of it but I definitely thought of it when I read your question.
If there are less toxic materials that could "do the job" but are more expensive then it really is about money no?
Would imagine most sensible people support enforcing immigration policy and would agree that this hasn't been done for a long time now but obviously "shackles" is ridiculous.
The photo of Douglas Adams laying face down is just perfect.
We learn it as kids on the playground.
There is almost zero FAAFO with discussions on the internet.
And each passing year, there is less playground.
Can't imagine most prisoners have good insurance but I could be completely wrong here.
This strikes me as a similar idea to 1970s sci-fi with its "arcology" super high-rise vertical cities.
It hasn't happened yet because it makes too much sense but isn't a solution that makes the most $$$/humanity is far too selfish.
Hope I'm wrong but I don't think you'll live to see your dome :(
It's confusing because "blame" can have a negative connotation...but in this instance it's used in an expression that basically means "the reason something happens".
Please ignore me if you already knew this but just wanted it to be out there in case you didn't.
Hooters is a pretty unique restaurant experience in the US and is therefore considered different/further from the norm and frankly by many seedy. If there were more places like Hooters in the US then this would probably not be true.
The comment was trying to explain that in Japan you have a lot of places that would be analogous to Hooters in the US...so it's not exceptional/not seedy. Maybe not quite the "norm" but common enough to not be really something that gets noticed or have a connotation like "seedy".
Ok well..that's not really an argument?
And yes we can bring up all the terrible Trump examples but if the point is separating yourself from that, how is what they've done any different?
It just feels each side just despises the other and it all ends up like children arguing on the playground.
Where are the adults?
There's going to be all kinds of hyperbole thrown around today on both sides but personally see this as a failure by the Democrats to sway Independents.
Overall though do agree it was a fairly close debate not particularly one-sided.
Will say if guys like Vance & DeSantis are the future of the GOP that a significant upgrade over Trump.
I still don't quite understand why DeSantis fared so poorly w/ the GOP for this election. He appears to be far more competent/palatable than Trump but here are.
This was an enormous cultural phenomenon that existed for decades (at least in America) and somewhat quietly has completely died off.
For anyone who might know, were prank calls as much of thing in 50s-90s Europe? Asia? Honestly don't know but it was sortof ever-present in the background of American teenage life (it was pretty likely you either were pranked or pranked someone else at some point in your adolescent life).
(Yes I realize "heavy breathing" calls are more akin to sexual harassment and on the extreme end of the "prank call" spectrum)
Here's an infamous example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment#Validity
Honestly after reading that it seems impossible to really conclude anything...as it's just full of conflicting results...is that innately fraud? No but certainly careers/$ have been made from biased/agenda-driven interpretations which seems fraudulent.
If anything the prices are far too low.
Also if you've never seen McCabe and Mrs Miller check it out...a great Altman film that makes really good use of Cohen's songs in the soundtrack.
