All that clause of the constitution says is that states can't accept bitcoin as tax payments.

It's had the opposite effect for me. I now avoid YouTube at all costs.
I suspect that geeks generally lack the part of the brain that allows them to laugh at themselves. Kinda like reptiles lack that area of the brain that would allow them to experience emotional attachment.
Please explain the popularity of the IT Crowd, then.
You could say the same thing about Futurama. The difference is Futurama is funny, whereas Big Bang Theory has never made me laugh.
Switzerland has a significantly higher rate of gun violence and death than other western European countries. Oh, sure, correlation doesn't prove causation... but what was your point exactly?
This makes me feel old. It seems like only yesterday that relativism was a sin the right accused the left of.
The linked article doesn't say what Kodi is either. Welcome to the future, where "news" apparently is only used to tell people things they already think they know.
You can attempt to live in a reality where aiding and abetting aren't things. But that reality does not exist, so, um, good luck there.
Unfortunately, that's not true.
I'm a very strong advocate of individual liberty. In my view, adult humans ought to have the fundamental right to engage in any behavior they choose, so long as no higher animal or other human who has not explicitly agreed in advance to participate is harmed in the process.
This is so broad a statement that it precludes any adult human from defecating, or, arguably, exhaling, without getting a petition signed by 6 billion other people. Every action you take has the potential to cause some harm. The hard question is always where to draw the line, and blanket pronouncements like this are useless for making those decisions.
Never have a favorite brand of anything. Each of these manufactures may have made a particular device or model which was very nice indeed. There is nothing which convinces me that this is a good indicator that other devices or models built by that company will also be good.
Sort of. The article starts by talking about terrorists, but when they get into talking about engineers specifically they shift to talking about "leaders of extreme right-wing groups".
Um, that isn't necessarily a shift. More terrorist acts which occur on US soil are perpetrated by right-wing groups than by any other group.
And myriad used to mean exactly 10,000. The origin may be interesting, but it isn't necessarily relevant.
Also, just because you haven't thought of a solution doesn't mean the problem is acceptable. There's no cure for cancer yet either.
You might have a point. Science has always had difficulty understanding how intelligence is inherited. Maybe they've been looking at it upside down, and it's actually stupidity that's inherited!
For a variety of reasons, those broad differences do not lead to broad differences in potential or capability. Amazing but true.
No. In your example, the distribution of capability difference is defined by gender. Individual inequality is not. This is actually an important and meaningful distinction.
It's also important to note that an observed gender based difference in capability distribution may not necessarily be a result of biology. In the example at hand (computer programming?), the preponderance of current evidence indicates that it isn't.
