The country certainly has a more conservative culture when it comes to gender. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_of_India#Family_structu...

Water is a global resource. If your water isn't exported right now doesn't mean it won't be in the future. A huge amount of the US is dependent on groundwater reservoirs. When those reservoirs run out, they'll need to import water from places that don't depend on groundwater or (more likely) move. You may be able to take long showers now, but if we as a nation (or even species) are going to get through the long term consequences of global warming, we're going to need to learn to reduce our water intake. Why not start now?

Oh, yeah, you're probably right. I just thought they were bad at English.

No, because California already imports water from all over the place. Water shortage isn't a problem unique to California. It's only a matter of time before the rest of the country starts to feel the same pressure that Californians are feeling. Reducing water use now will give us time.

But it would help the issue. The idea is to reduce non-essential water use, regardless of source.

pretty sure water in water bottles only 'expire' because of the plastic leaching into the water over time. "Unpackaged" water has been sitting in the earth for thousands of years, as evidenced by this article, and is perfectly safe to drink.

All of this reminds me of a trip I took about 10 years ago to Palm Desert. Even then I was stunned by opulence of their water use and the utter disregard for sustainability. It's a city built in the desert that regularly reaches 100+ degrees, and yet every house had a bright green grass with sprinklers running constantly. One of the main attractions was their huge amounts of golf courses, that were of course always kept green and watered. I guess it makes sense, a third of the population is 65+, they won't be around when the consequences of their unconscionable actions really hit.

The other difference is the ground water reservoirs are significantly more drained now than in the 1930s.

Please not WA. We have enough Californians moving here and driving up prices already.

the small trees are also a sign that that area was clear cut for lumber and replanted.

have you used Lyft? You don't talk to anyone until your car picks you up, same as Uber. If you want you can sit in the back seat and not talk at all.

It's making an advance for the eventual goal of sex. How is that not a sexual advance? How is an email chain between interviewee and interviewer, discussing your interview results, not a professional setting?

So making sexual advances in a professional setting is A-OK, as long as you only do it once per person?

Ignoring the problem is how we got into this situation in the first place.

That depends, do you like waterboarding?

> Whole web is a mess and people are trying to monkey-patch it.

That has been true for the last 20+ years, but it gets less and less accurate as time goes on. The web today is way less messy than it was even 3 years ago. The way we write JS is way less messy, the way we write CSS is way less messy. Standards have improved, lighten up.

But that's readable. This isn't.

False dichotomy.

"Pro-NN astro-turfing" hahaha ok dude, sure. Which side of this issue is more likely to have hired giant PR firms to hire astroturfers? And which side is more likely to actually have grassroots support? I'll give you a hint, the pro-consumer side is probably not the one with the giant PR firm.

I think Community was more making a comment about how Lego has become less generic and more based on marketing. You could say this correlates to less creativity in favor of recreating existing properties. The bits about smaller pieces and brand tie-ins line up with the changes mentioned in the article (more pieces per set, more brand specific sets).

I disagree. Gig workers still need to pay for their own health care, before and after Obamacare.

I think reaching "Fuck you" levels of wealth has a very slightly different (3% higher?) definition for people with kids, but otherwise the advise is the same. Once you (or, you and your family, if you have one) are financially safe, don't hoard.

But not resource efficient, and farmed fish have lots of problems.

I'm not sure what user-provided data would even be beneficial? Stuff that's likely already collected encompasses where the user is picked up, dropped off, route taken, time of departure and arrival .etc

Don't forget wear and tear from inside the cabin. I don't envy whoever is in charge with cleaning the inside of a self driving car.

"request" haha
