Boric acid treatment is 100% effective against subterranean termites, and it lasts multiple decades. The treatment is also very inexpensive compared to other options. Given that boric acid is arguably the effective prevention, the cheapest option, and the longest-lasting...... why is this not universally applied to lumber frames? Why do builders choose other treatments at all?

Edit: this question is in regards to termite prevention treatments completed during the build process

The writing was debunked by a data scientist soon after the murder occurred. The debunking can be found here:

Very interesting just how surface-level this debunking is, if you started with zero prior beliefs and began a search for truth in our healthcare system you'd very easily end up agreeing with cremieux. Why so many fans of the original manifesto?

After the fallout from speculation around USAID cuts potentially leading to deaths, I have to wonder how much better the African nations would fare with western systems, safety nets, infrastructure, law enforcement, and defense. If lives stand to be saved, would you support colonization?

Elon asked (on X) for somebody to name a person who actually died due to Doge cuts. So somebody speaks up and says a woman died because USA "stopped paying for diesel fuel for the ambulances in her part of Liberia."

Where does this principle stop? At what point is any death anywhere not our fault?

How can the same person hold both statements to he true at the same time?

In the absence of resolving this glaring discrepancy, it would seem that an explanation for both to be true in the same person's mind would be simple: envy, resentment, and a lack of belief in agency.
