Since a lot of places require the employees be paid at least minimum wage including tips, it would impact the owner directly and immediately...if everyone stopped tipping.

It must be hard not knowing even the most basic math. How is this CEO getting more money than I pay for the meal?

The quote does say, if you did these things, and say as much in this community. Now, certainly, Trek has politics baked in, but advocating the clearly fascist choice is kind of what they always go against. If they were checking user history to do a little purity test, I'd agree that would be going too far.

He's literally said he will enact laws that will require using the notwithstanding clause to be upheld. Just one of many articles about it.

Depends what you're looking for. Atlatls use a "spear thrower" to throw the spear. This is inherently different from spears and javelins, and in fact uses some of the mechanics of how arrows work to gain effectiveness.

There are a few places online where you can learn more, and there are a couple places in America where you can buy sets for personal use. Seeing someone hunt a wild pig with one of those is pretty impressive.

And far too many are okay with it. I met a former Albertan who unironically said we need more CO2 in the atmosphere.

Weak and unimaginative.

Under ideal conditions, I don't see how this would lose any more genetic information than sexual reproduction with parents of the opposite sex. The problems you're referring to seem to be more of an issue if two gametes were supplied by a single parent.

There are a number of less optimal combinations, as well, such as XXY, XYY, and XXYY.

I believe we can make a self-driving car with only optical sensors that performs as well as a human someday. I don't think today is that day, or that we shouldn't aim for self-driving to be far better than human drivers.

The whole premise of ABS brakes, which all cars made in North America since 2012 will have, is specifically to allow you to maintain control when you fully apply the brakes. Unless you are a professional driver or have a car without ABS, you should just fully apply the brakes in an emergency stop. Please stop telling people that fully applying the brakes will reduce manueverability when it won't for the majority of drivers in the developed world.

And if someone's vehicle doesn't have ABS, they should know how to properly brake without locking their tires, and when it won't be appropriate to use them.
