He's talking about practical ability, not innate. Human beings have the ability to juggle. Not everyone can juggle - it is a learned skill. As the internet has helpfully demonstrated, not all human beings have learned the skill of reasoning.

I'd like to see those data combined with information about other social changes, specifically percentage of households where both spouses work, plus the prevalence of housekeepers. My subjective perception is that it's more common now for households to have two incomes, and more common in the past to have had a housekeeper to help with household chores. I'd like to know if there's any truth to that, since it would imply a huge reduction in the amount of leisure time in a typical household, even if individuals worked fewer hours per year than they used to.

Back on topic - many major sports have "easier" variants: baseball has softball, kickball, t-ball; (American) football has touch and flag versions; etc. We already have Frisbee golf - why not other variants to attract more casual players? If golf courses are seeing fewer people play, then it makes a certain amount of business sense.

Also, isn't this what a lot of casual players essentially do by taking a "mulligan"? A larger hole would basically be standardizing the "mulligan distance."

Propellant for the potato guns.

I used to have a standing desk at work until I took an arrow to the knee.

Seriously, I understand the benefits, but I just can't sit still for long periods of time anyway (RLS), so it's not like I'm stationary. You can take my office chair when you can pry it from my cold, dead... well you get the idea.

In case someone were wondering, Iapetus' equatorial surface gravity is about 2.3% that of Earth's, or 1/43rd as strong. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iapetus_(moon)

I see... So we can expect a Microsoft Chromebook with Microsoft-only enhancements that get users trapped into the MS ecosystem? Cunning.

But but but... I thought Chromebooks weren't "real" laptops and were useless because they didn't have Windows or Office!

No, I was replying specifically to the compromised/vulnerable confusion regarding affected versions of OpenSSL, not to the clearly hyperbolic and incorrect statement that indicated that all SSL-based communications were vulnerable.

It's "Pedantic Man", not "Basic Fact-checker Man". Different line of work.

They were vulnerable to attack, that is to say, the security was compromised. He didn't say they were hacked, stolen, eavesdropped, or surreptitiously recorded.

I've noticed that a lot of TV sci-fi confuses "compromise" with "breach"; as in hull, shields, defenses, etc.

It's rare that I can't tell if a Slashdot comment is earnestness or sarcasm. Well done, sir.

I see what you did their.

(this is US-centric obviously)
So the IRS and income tax have restored economic power to... cotton growers in the south? I'm not sure I follow your point. Maybe you're trying to claim the modern slaveholders are big business, but I think the traditional slaveowners were more like small family businesses and estates. I don't think the real "big-business" tycoons came until after slavery was abolished.

Could you elaborate?

If that were the case, then you'd expect them to think the older, more valuable one sounded better right away, not the newer, less special one; so this seems to be a statement against confirmation bias.

Here's your killer app: an online database of battery covers for remote controls. No more duct tape holding your batteries in!

You need the parametrics if you have an extrusion lasting more than four hours.
