Think of it like this, 99.9% of the people with those genes did not become alcoholics throughout the history of those human genes existing.

Those that did did not transmit it to further generations through genes either.

So is alcoholism hereditary? No, we cannot say in any meaningful semantic sense of the word that it is.

So those studies don’t prove that alcoholism is hereditary, nor do they prove that it isn’t just nurture. Since they aren’t twin adoption studies they’re generally useless.

If we look at those instead, it does not suggest that alcoholism is hereditary, but that certain genes increase the risk of substance abuse. It’s not that child inherits alcoholism from the parent, but the predisposition for alcoholism is in their genetics. This means that even if a parent is not an alcholic, the child will still be more predispositioned for alcoholism, meaning the hereditary term doesn’t make much sense.

No, the point is that if the complexity of the word “tree” transcends anything you could even remotely attempt to describe in language, how will you find a thought which is the “right one”? You’re always going to be wrong, and it is only people who understand that all attempts at being right will make you wrong, who end up being somewhat useful in doing good.

Agree that voting either is good.

What do you mean by the last part?

The 20 first years of my life I never really stood up for myself.

Self-checkout reduces cost for the store, but they don’t reduce the price of the products. So I’m gonna keep using cashiers since I’m paying for it

Based on her smile, you think the artist wanted us to think that the joke was in his head?

Do yourself a favor and don’t read the comments

If the cat does that, it’s because it doesn’t actually understand that it’s hurting you.

Start making a big “YELP” and clearly show that you are in pain when it does it, and it will gradually start to be more gentle.

It doesn’t understand that you don’t have fur that protects it the way it does.

Carefully

It’s so that you can easily avoid low quality ones

Obesity rates have more than tripled globally since the 1980s, so it’s far from one country.

That’s… genius. So there’s gotta be a law against it already

I love the idea that after extensive research, scientists concluded the solution to the old earth’s problems was more turtles

Shhh for christs sakes man, don’t give them any ideas

You generally don’t want to be in the US these days, but you most definitely do not want to be here with no money.

Definitely do it then, instant coffee is a pretty sad compared to proper beans.

What don’t you like about the grinding? You can get a manual grinder if you want it to be an activity on itself, or, just pre-ground with a v60 for sure.

To be honest an aeropress can be a very quick clean, but I like to wash it and dry it properly and take it apart completely which is somewhat unnecessary.

I don’t do anything more than a quick rinse with my v60 after dumping the filter.

V60 immersion dripper

That sounds quite interesting, that pretty much eliminates the bad pouring from a kettle right?

Hate to hear it buddy
