I mean some fraction of that market is for sure addicted, which possibly stretches the definition of "like".

Weight loss drugs shouldn’t create ‘dependency culture’, says Health Secretary in c/[email protected]

This is frustratingly common. Who has the resources and incentive to run such studies?

Finding the same thing with evidence for the effectiveness of AI copilots. Everyone doing wonk on it has a finger in the pie. So in order to believe the research you have to trust the integrity and discipline of people you never met, not to mention trust a whole organizational to be culturally respectful of the scientific method (which probability near zero for a large corporate).

How the hell does no one talk about this? in c/whitepeopletwitter

"it's in the public interest" so all these articles will be freely available to the public. Right?... Riiight?!

Your painting is gorgeous but I can't help but mourn the loss of character from older death company kits.

Welcome welcome. And congrats on getting your mojo back this year.

Yeah, compare Jonesy to Zadarius Smith...

Happy for the guy, but gotta hope marshawn Lloyd beats him out. Wilson's upside kinda capped isn't it?

Well fuck in c/packers

The capital gain is the profit, the collateralized lending is the transaction completed to realize that profit. It's a logical extension of accepted understandings of those terms and easy to imagine coherent legislation to implement.

You don't like the idea, that's fine. But it's simply not true to claim that it doesn't make sense and you haven't been able to articulate any inconsistency. Just saying "nuh uh that's not profit" is pointless. We all know it doesn't constitute realized gain in the existing system of laws, but OP and others are suggesting it would a be a sensible way to tax the extraordinary benefits that the ultra-wealthy take from their appreciated assets. It's been explained to you politely and with sources, if you have nothing more serious to add to the conversation I'm done giving you the benefit of the doubt.

Boardwalk beach club in silverknowles (self.edinburgh)
 

I made an inpromptu stop in silverknowles today and it was fucking delightful. Amazing live music and a shady spot to enjoy refreshments. Can't recommend enough.

Tory private ownership arguments are intellectually bankrupt. Can we seriously still apply hanlon's razor? (self.uk_politics)
 

Michael Howard today (on BBC radio 4):

The point about public ownership is this: if you have the industry in public ownership, it has to compete for resources with health, with education, with the police, with all the other legitimate demands on the public purse, and water when it was in public ownership was way down the queue.

People pay water rates Michael. This is an income bearing asset that could have supported other public programs. Instead it's been used to enrich the already wealthy at the expense of underinvestment in infrastructure, callous polluting, and the risk of damaging bancruptcy.

When you release it into the private sector, you have recourse to private capital. You can make the investment that’s needed.

Errr. Except a PLC's cost of capital is higher than the cost of govornment debt, so any investment is going to be harder to make and ultimately will cost the public more. As evidenced by the fact that they have done exactly the opposite of "make the investment that’s needed" over the past 30 years.

Dear god, he can't possibly be actually that dense. I have to assume he, and by extension his party that continues to support this stupid idea, is acting in bad faith.

Interesting editorial on positives in 10th (www.goonhammer.com)
 

I have my gripes but I agree with all of these. Looking forward to my first game next week!

So everyone's playing house rules points per model right? (self.warhammer40k)
 

I don't love free wargear (because there will inevitably better or worse options when everything is a straight swap whereas with points cost you can balance finely), but I can see that it makes life easier.

Fixed unit sizes, however, are supremely shit. All in all totally ripped the variety out of list building, which was one of my favourite things about the game. Lists now will look mostly identical.

"Just the way they're obnoxious," he said. "Just yelling and all that other stuff about things that don't even matter. Like, we're not even running a play, and you guys are talking about, 'Oo oh yeah, go Green (Bay).' Like, what are you even talking about? The game hasn't started yet."

What is he on?

Enjoying what we've seen so far from the rules, if a bit disappointed by some of the loss of flexibility.

Who is taking GC pidcock seriously? (self.procycling)
 

I'm seeing his TDF odds shorter than people like carapaz or oconnor. I definitely think he could transition to that type of ride but I don't see any indication of it this season.
