Grocery stores will often give cardboard milk boxes for free. Last move I used a lot of those!

Why? How is it different?

Yes sir, thank you sir.

A robot vacuum will help a lot

Why? Are you going to steal the first one?

Primary vs secondary sources

Many people don't understand these differences.

I guess USAmericans who need expensive medical procedures will be happy to hear this?

Another day, another reposted copypasta for karma about YouTube.

nah do the right thing because you want to, not because some higher being in the sky is watching

Do you have examples of that?

> Indicate the relative prominence of opposing views.
Ensure that the reporting of different views on a subject adequately reflects the relative levels of support for those views and that it does not give a false impression of parity, or give undue weight to a particular view. For example, to state that "According to Simon Wiesenthal, the Holocaust was a program of extermination of the Jewish people in Germany, but David Irving disputes this analysis" would be to give apparent parity between the supermajority view and a tiny minority view by assigning each to a single activist in the field.

There's a reason wikipedia sources the Wayback Machine.

The whole point of sourcing is providing the primary source. A link to an online list of sources is basically offloading the work.

I am tired of LPTs being like "Just get your life together, you'll see that it's amazing"

[removed]

I’m tired and misread that. I was like, “I like videos, games, and shows about pirates”.

Yes, worth saying. Applied this principle from centuries on human life.

I don't think this is a good advice. I dont need 2 cars to get to work every day, just 1 is enough for me.

> Studies are showing wikipedia is "as good" as an old-school encyclopedia for learning about stuff.

For those who wonder how is it possible :
I don't have the source (ironic), but while the Britannica does have "less published errors" than Wikipedia, those errors stay for years while on Wikipedia they get fixed fast.
So while an error is more likely to be published on Wikipedia, when checking both at some instant T, it is roughly equally likely for both that the statement will be an error.

> But don't cite it. As stated, get the cites that are cited by the Wiki.

Goes also about old-school encyclopedia, I think?

That's some sketchy advice.

I need to save up for 2 houses now? Damn.

My wife hates washing dishes so when we got together we made the compromise that I will wash all the dishes and in exchange she will be the one who does the vacuuming because I hate vacuuming I don't like the loud constant sound it makes as I always feel like I am bothering the people around me when I do it.
