I think everyone is arguing different points here. The first comment spoke about the gender pay gap, which is not restricted to same job/same experience. It also considers that positions that are typically filled by women (care, nursing, teaching, etc) are systematically underpaid, which is also a perfectly valid way to define a gender wage gap.
But for some reason you responded by singling out the same job/same experience data, then told the first guy to educate himself.
Everyone here is saying the gender wage gap very much exists in general in Europe, and you're singling out one smaller data point where it doesn't.

This is exactly it. Of course battery production is harmful too, but not only is it less harmful than other sources to extract, you also don't have to burn batteries to generate the power. With fossil fuels, the extraction is massively more harmful and then the use itself creates even more pollution.

I've always thought the better argument was to replace 'good and evil' with 'happiness and sadness'. Everything you said makes sense because good and evil are subjective, but at least everyone agrees that happiness is a goal in itself that we all strive for, regardless of what it takes to get you there personally.
If you go through this chart and use the word 'happiness' instead, it becomes pretty clear that god is not omnipotent and omniscient and benevolent, or we would only ever feel happiness.

I'll admit that my own bias is left-leaning, but I'm not sure I see much of a strawman here. If you pick the most extreme groups in either camp, one side calls for the protection of certain groups (through admittedly questionable means) and the other seeks to take others' rights away (through those same questionable means). Could this be a case of 'truth has a left leaning bias'? Open to hearing otherwise though!

Yowza... I always assumed it was just the missing j-channel but not that the entire windows were installed incorrectly. Guess we've got some work ahead of us 😐

Yeah, from the other comments here, I'm starting to see the severity of the issue. This was a custom build and not a big developer, but I might be able to track down the window installers. Thanks for your help!

Thank you so much for all the info! Scarier than I thought, I'll admit, but better to find out now than in 10 years.

Wow, is this to say insurance might pay for it to be installed? It's about 5 years old but we've owned it for 3-4, so it's fairly new but we've been sitting on this issue for a while. Thanks for your help either way!

Hello! It looks like the builders never installed J-channels around the windows, and we've noticed some water coming into the house through the window frame during heavy rain and wind. The internet tells me it's possible to slide some J-channel under the existing siding but I can only find videos on doing it before the siding goes on. Any help would be appreciated :) Edit 1: this only happened one during a very intense rain, not all the time. Edit: Figured I'd update in case it can help anyone. I got in touch with someone to come take a look, and it turns out these windows have built-in J-channels so that wasn't the issue at all. The problem was where the house wrap actually went behind the window, making that J-channel useless basically. While it was still taped across, that's really the only place water could have come in so there must have been a gap in the seal. So he sliced the wrap, inserted another barrier under it and layered it so that water could never get behind it again. Also confirmed no water damage/stains around the windows so it's likely all the water that came in was caught inside by our towels.

Ehh I dunno... I'm as atheist as anyone with an IQ above 60, but I think religion is just a convenient scapegoat for mental illness here. I'm pretty sure someone who shoots strangers on the highway would have done it in a world without religion too, and they would say it's a different mystical force that made them do it. I don't think Christianity actually moved this person to do this.

You can hear the flush in the beginning, and a few seconds later a loud knock under the sink area. If I understand, water hammer is from the incoming water stopping suddenly and moving the pipes, but this is definitely elsewhere along the outflow. Worth mentioning this only happens with solid waste and liquid doesn't do it. Kinda sounds like the outflow pipes are knocking against something when there's bulk in there. Does this sound kind something to be remedied? Thanks for your help!

Politics has always been is currently a game of the least offensive though. Every can candidate will have things they give you and things they take away. If your two choices are between "I will genocide" and "I will genocide even harder" it seems wild to me to help the second one win by abstaining from the first.
Oh and the second one doesn't think women are people and thinks climate change is fake.

Ah yeah, that's not as nice as I was picturing then. I still can't help but side with the guy at least a bit though... it's just something about the predatory nature of lotteries. In fact it's almost more offensive that it's run by a government haha.

Normally I'd agree with you on the basis of reason alone, but I think lottery companies can stand being gouged once in a while.
Edit: shows how little I know about lotteries haha

This is the kind of thing that seems good on paper, but in practice it alienates anyone on the outside of it. If you're born into a low credit score (i.e. born poor) you're automatically at a disadvantage. No one will lend you any money because you have a certain score, which in turn means you're never given an opportunity to improve your score. When credit scores start including rent payments, I'll be open to seeing it as equitable.

Both can be true though. I don't support things like Uber and Lyft but only because of how horribly they treat their employees. I don't have much sympathy for the taxi industry that never bothered to modernized over the last 50 years.

"Undue" is a word with a huge range of meaning though. You're buying a device whose sole purpose is to kill or injure, and it's exceptionally good at doing those things accidentally. If you want to own a device like that, accident insurance is not all undue.
In fact it's kinda surprising that people can get guns without it. I feel like in an alternate universe where gun insurance was the norm, people would think it's insane to remove that requirement. It's a requirement for cars which are now less deadly than guns and arguably way more important to people's survival, but people think gun ownership is such a marker of liberty that they're willing to put the rest of society at risk for it.

I'm surprised he didn't call out Canada. Turns out Alberta's oilsands were producing 6700% more emissions than they reported.

Goddamn... as a fellow celiac sufferer, I'm very sorry to hear that. If the blood tests are pretty conclusive, you can probably assume it's celiac without the colonoscopy. The downside is that if you start a gluten-free diet now and decide to get a colonoscopy later, it might now show anything since you're off the gluten. Best of luck!

It isn't if they want to own a tool that can accidentally and immediately end a life. The guy below you made a joke about a car and insurance, but that's actually a great point. Just because you can find a $300 car doesn't mean you're absolved from getting insurance in case you crash or kill someone. And that's a car, something that's crucial to a lot of people's survival. Even better argument for a gun.
Pogbom 8 months ago • 100%
I appreciate the info because frankly I didn't know they were that cheap. I still don't think that absolves someone of being able to pay for an accidental injury/death caused by a tool that's designed to do specifically that.
Pogbom 8 months ago • 100%
Why are "the poors" buying expensive guns? If you're buying a tool that can accidentally and instantly murder someone very easily, and you have no way to pay for that mistake, then gun ownership is too expensive for you.
Pogbom 8 months ago • 66%
Your case is for reasonable vs unreasonable expenses though. When someone can afford thousands for a gun and many other recurring expenses, a $50-100/month policy is completely reasonable. At the very least, it doesn't separate gun ownership into different wealth classes.

Listen, I'm super smart and I definitely know what the right context is, but could you explain it for our dumber friends here?
It's completely loose (can move a few inches up and down) and rattles on the muffler while driving. Easy fix for a noob, or should I take it in? And uh... how urgently? 😂
Feel free to roast me if this is idiotic. Thank you!
They've got 98,000 KM (60,894 miles) on them and I figure this was pretty much my last summer on these anyways. Time for a new set? Thank you!
Hi all, I accidentally bumped into this charger and now the bottom prong in this picture can wiggle left to right (relative to this angle). I wanna say it moved about 10° from its original position and you can see the bunched up plastic from where it moved. I bent it back into position and it's still very stiff... just wondering if it's still safe to use. Thanks for your help!
One of my absolute favourite shows from my childhood, sadly cancelled after 13 episodes. There have been rumours of a reboot but nothing confirmed for a while.
