Wait a minute, 18.6 per 100k is a per-year statement. So if you lived in Pittsburgh all your life, you have something like a 1.5% lifetime chance of being murdered? Is that right? One in sixty-ish?
The dynamics change when you have nukes to back your regular forces up.

The Ukraine could have thrown 100% of their conventional forces at the invasion, if they would have had a nuclear threat getting their backs.

As it stood, they could not mobilise because that would a) have left their flanks open because their conventional forces were in such a sad shape and b) going all in with conventional forces would have been an invitation to Russia to counter and crush them - think Russian tanks in Kiev. And it could be spun as a "legal war" and be over until the rest of the world knew how to react.

If on the other hand, you at all times have a bunch of ICBMs in your back pocket, Russian blitz krieg is not in the cards.

A big reason why this stockpile is considered necessary is to prevent questions in the form of "why should we allow ..." - if you have such a stockpile, then the obvious answer to any such questions is that you don't have to ask for permission for anything ever, as nobody can force you to do anything or prevent you from doing what you want, you have the ability to not care about what someone would "allow" you to do. This is the ultimate guarantee of "noone orders me around" sovereignty; if it was technically possible for the world to disallow USA, Russia or China "to stockpile 100 of thousands of Nagasakis", then it might become possible for the world to disallow USA, Russia or China some other actions against other countries or their own people, and that's not acceptable to their leaders.

I hope you're actually an American who doesn't like the NFL so you can tell me how well the analogy follows.

The conversational equivalent using the NFL example would go something like this:

"Why are there no Americans at my favorite chess forum?"

"Americans like the NFL. They're just more into brute force and camaraderie, especially American men. Chess can't really appeal to them. I mean, back in the Neolithic, a modern day chess grandmaster, if he managed to not burn in the sun and see an angry cougar 15 meters away, would probably have died. American men are just closer to their nature. I have this cousin who's American, I have attempted for years to get him to play chess and no dice. Not during the season, anyway."

"I mean sure but there are American chess clubs? Some Americans like chess? Surely the cougar thing is not relevant to my original scope?"

Now, you're a chess loving American. You're not at the first poster's forum because you can't be on all the forums in the world, and it's true love of chess is not exactly common in the US. However, how would you feel reading the description of how apparently literally everyone else in America loves the NFL? Would you feel proud to be American? Would you feel like the poster who made the NFL comment is likely to be an American man? Would you be more, or less likely to read his further arguments on different or related topics, for example, his opinion on American politics?

While I'm sure that there are plenty of women who don't mind those arguments being made, and I think to an extent this forum would select for those women anyway, it remains an argument that is, in essence, 1) prone to being misinterpreted and 2) a little blind to your audience. (the subject is chess - you are talking to a chess fan - for all you know the chess fan also loves the NFL)

And those arguments are less effective than other arguments, for example, the kinds that 1) don't make assumptions of their audience and 2) are closely related to the topic.

(I realise this digression itself is totally off-topic and I'm sorry. I'm not interested in monologuing or haranguing the poster or anything. I hope it, and the little NFL parable, showed you and the people who usually make that argument without thinking about who reads it, a slightly different side, and that you may consider it if in the future you should have longer debates on relevant subjects with people whose opinion and background you don't know a priori. And thank you to anyone who read it.)
> One can pathologize almost any President and be right.

Trying to compare Trump to other presidents isn't useful

So far. Not leading to the end of the world does not mean a system is good or has sufficient safety just that it hasn't failed in the time period

> Try not to confuse political rhetoric with a lack of self-awareness when judging the current President.

There is no need for pathologizing or political rhetoric

Good evolutionary hypotheses generate testable predictions about the trait being examined. This can lead to other predicted (testable) effects, and so on, building evidence (or lack thereof) for an idea. Just because we can't draw definitive conclusions doesn't mean there is not strong evidence for many evolutionary theories.

> Evolutionary psychology is ... not popular with cogsci depts...

That's a shame. It seems there is a lot to be gained from a comprehensive approach to understanding.

You may have heard the phrase “nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution" (Dobzhansky). Well, this is true for the human brain and psychology, too. We can't correctly address major behavioral issues without a deeper understanding of the evolved functions of our brain.

Finding Joe Murphy: How the No. 1 pick became homeless
I live near a DC Metro station that opened just a few years ago. Any time some minor crime is reported on Nextdoor (and it’s usually a minor theft of items from an unlocked car, the blockheads), people come out of the woodwork to say how everything has been awful since Metro came and it brought all this crime.

It’s especially funny since I’ve never seen anyone who remotely looks like an unsavory character at that station (whether by bigot standards or otherwise) and it’s a typical suburban station with not a whole lot around it, so it would be a dumb destination for criminals looking for new territory to exploit.
Do you have any sources for that? I haven't personally run across any rumors to that effect...

It's worth noting that this was introduced by Republicans.

Obviously, any action that increases the cost of electric vehicles in relation to gas vehicles is a fucking stupid thing to do, regardless of "well... this is for road maintenance". They can tax EVs for road maintenance when they start taxing gas vehicles for damage to environment.

There's BS and cool on both sides of PRs.

- MYOB fail, as mentioned, sigh.

- Closing issues before they're resolved. Proper etiquette is to let the filer close it after it's fixed and working.

- People demanding features or making vague trouble reports.

- Submitting a properly-tested PR that fixes an issue without need for a fix-it issue.

- Committers open to some globally-beneficial change only to change their mind after it's already done.

- People refactoring your commit with something better.

- Rust and a lot of small languages have tiny, good communities of generally humble badasses.

- People changing whitespaces or switching to British grammar. SMH.

I look at it this way: you gotta take the shit with sugar. Not trying to contribute upstream is consuming without producing... I'm against this because it helps no one and it's uncool.

As a guy in his 30s who still jumps into the pit a couple times a year, I feel like this article is over-selling it.

They're fun and intense and do occasionally result in minor injury. But (usually) they're extremely good natured, with people nearby immediately stopping to assist anyone who looses their footing or wants to get out. They are also typically ringed by "enforcers" who participate by standing their ground and helping block people on the sidelines who would obviously rather not be bodyslammed.

There's always a few douchebags who want to throw punches (the "crowd killers" the article speaks of) but usually they get moderated out pretty quickly. Fundamentally a pit is not about hurting people, it's about responding to the music in a extremely kinetic way. Yes, you're slamming into other people, but you're not trying to hurt them, you're generating a shared sense of physical intensity to match the music. It's dancing. Really rough dancing.

If you have the kind of physical pain that the author regularly does, I don't really know what to tell you. Don't stand in the middle front? The pit never takes up the entire floor and if you maintain a little awareness it's easy to stay out of. And if you look scared and are obviously trying to get out you'll immediately be surrounded by several big friendly dudes opening a path for you.
>Is it harder to mishandle food in a commercial kitchen

Not really. The main difference is that everything you use is better designed to be easy to clean and hard to break by someone putting in less than minimum effort. For a small business that isn't being lazy to the point of negligence there's really no difference. The same standard of cleanliness is indeed possible in a noncommercial kitchen but beyond a certain scale it's not cost effective. Also, it's not a binary thing. You have tons of hole in the wall restaurants that use a mix of commercial and noncommercial facilities and equipment. Somewhere that serves ice cream will probably have commercial style freezers and mid-high end consumer grade stuff for everything else. You don't need stainless counters to prepare ice cream and you don't need a three bay sink or a commercial dishwasher to clean ice cream scoops. Bars in places where they're forced to serve food by law often only have consumer grade equipment for the preparation of said food.
Oh, I definitely agree and Atlanta's generally done well recently at building more things nearer to the stations. That said, unless you live in one of the areas you just mentioned, there's not a lot you can do. There's a ton of Atlanta along 85/75 that's mostly unserved by MARTA, let alone a lot of stuff outside of 285.

Atlanta has a pretty rough last-mile problem just due to its density. Outside of midtown/downtown, a lot of the stations are pretty far apart by NYC/Euro standards. You mention Midtown to Buckhead, which is 3 stops on MARTA, being half the length of Manhattan. That's more than the length of Battery Park to Penn Station, which is 12 stops on the 1/2/3 line. MARTA is fine if you're mostly going from major area to major area, but if you want to go to somewhere like Little 5, you're kinda out of options in a way that the MTA seldom has issues with.

I don't so much see this as something MARTA could really fix, but more just innate to Atlanta's sprawling geography. It's getting better, but MARTA pretty much cannot be what people want it to be.

The realistic scenarios of nuclear war occur as an escalation of some large scale conventional conflict.

If you take out enemy airbases and nuclear capability, then you can use tactical nukes (or, more likely, you already started using them) to win that conventional war and achieve whatever goals you had in it. There's no reason to invade - just as with Japan in 1945, you can subjugate a country without invading it

When Benz Meets Marconi
> all is well and good

I would say that striving to be 'all is well and good' is a never-ending chore. (As in never will end.)

> since all lobby organizations are represented in Washington.

Not all, but many. There are also many lobbying firms local to states and cities.

Can we do with less lobbying? Sure. But we'll only ever be able to go so far given that organized petitions are guaranteed by the First Amendment '... the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.' This can take the form of a single person, a parade of protestors, a lobbying firm, or what have you. Which also means a single person with deep pockets (e.g. actor Kevin Costner) can have more sway than a lobbying outfit (e.g. a law firm representing the Lakota Sioux of the Black Hills.)

> not all of the people are represented by all of the lobby organizations.

Agreed.

I would go even further and say not all of the people are represented by those who actually vote or those who actually occupy office. Undocumented migrants, children, the mentally challenged, jailed felons, those who don't vote whatsoever—all are supposedly represented by Congress and the President, but who really gave Congress and the President the right to represent those who didn't vote for them? (Joking here—many in the US feel that Trump does NOT represent them, despite him being President. Not joking here—but are they right?)

> plutocracy

It's close. Given the lobbying arms of Planned Parenthood, the Teamsters, the Southern Baptist Convention, the National Audubon Society, and many, many (, many) others, that is, the lobbying arms of well-monied groups, we see that organized groups can act as wealthy individuals. So it's a mix of plutocracy and monied non-profits.

> youtube

Good video, and it captures the big-picture problem with American political lobbying. I wish them luck with the solution they've offered—currently, marijuana laws are undergoing the same course that women's suffrage did, so it works as long as people are driven to finish what they started. (Which is not necessarily a good thing—US Prohibition also was a state matter before finally being made an Amendment, the 18th, the one that came right before giving women the right to vote. Check https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_state .)
