  • Consensus doesn’t require everyone in the world to agree it just requires the majority to agree

    An overwhelming majority, yes. Do you a have a survey or study that demonstrates this?

    clearly the majority do otherwise the comment that it’s confusing would not have been made.

    This makes no sense. Anybody can make any comment. Just because I say a thing doesn’t mean that the majority agrees with me.









  • In a rare apology from the Russian president, Putin said during his end-of-year press conference that insufficient imports and demand are to blame for the hiked prices.

    “I’m sorry about this problem. This is a setback in the government’s work,” Putin said on December 14. “I promise that the situation will be corrected in the near future.”

    Holy shit. Russians are serious about their eggs!

    Look, it isn’t hard to substitute eggs in recipes. You can use applesauce, banana, chia seeds, flax seeds, or tofu. (To be fair, though, I don’t know what those cost in Russia as compared to eggs.)

    One word: ergonomics.

    With Dvorak, the most commonly-used letters are on the home row. In fact, all of the vowels are on the home row.

    The most common letter in English is E, and QWERTY makes you reach for it. You know what IS on the home row? Fuckin’ semicolon! Can you even remember the last time you used a semicolon?

    I spend a lot of time at work sitting, so I’d rather have a comfortable chair than an uncomfortable chair. Same with my keyboard: I’d rather have a comfortable layout than an uncomfortable one. Less risk of repetitive strain injury, too.
