right.. when someone eats at a place and gives it a number of stars rating how good it was, it tells you the same about how good it is as instagram marketing. here's the point - you go to sf, get a place around you with good reviews, and the food is overpriced, overpresented, and average in taste.
The OP literally stated a reason to live in SF is the food. That's simply false. It's not poor quality, but it's no reason to live there. It's not better than in an average city.
so, this tells me that in studies that corrected for the mother's iq, the difference was 2.6 points. My wife is asian, i am jewish, with a lot of phds in the family. This is an increase of less than 2%. Sorry, but there's no way I'm going to believe a study like that has an error/variance of under 2%. The studies also did not correct for the father's iq. The father is not serving the breast milk, but iq of the mother is not "passed on" through food, so if you're correcting for mom's iq, you're correcting for genetics, and the father is half of that. None of the studies corrected for quality of formula.
This is being purposely dense. The entire planet of men disagrees with you that the only purpose of the breasts is for breasfeeding. I guess sex is only for making babies too. Jesus called, he wants his bible back.
Damn it. That's why I couldn't figure it out for years. You can't.. Is the new keyboard standard being used anywhere? Like if I walk into a common office in france and sit down at a laptop - is it likely to be using the new keyboard layout?
What's weird is I sometimes, even 10 years ago, would get an email from people in France, and it would have an accented A. Like, how did they do that..
Right - they have very little in expenses in Australia. Because all the development and maintenance is in other countries. That is my entire point. So they take the market value (transfer price) of the expenses and transfer that money to countries where those expenses are incurred. They then pay for expenses related to their local offices and 2000 employees. What's left over is called profit, is taxed in Australia, and they paid $100mil of taxes on that profit last year.
Lets say you are sitting in Chicago. You create a search engine, get a thousand developers working on it. You then set up an Australian portal for that web page, on which Australian businesses buy ads. In your version, the costs for Australia are zero. In reality, those costs include the development of the search engine in Chicago.
or, follow me on this. i just walk out onto the street, type "restaurant" into google, and pick something with 4 star and up reviews. no marketing or presentations involved - just what people around there reviewed as good. and the food is average. this isn't bad, but average food with some gems you have to know about and take an uber to, is not a reason to live in a city - and it was presented as such in the comment to which i replied.
strange how a whole bunch of people on this thread agree with me - both visitors and sf residents.
this ladies and gentlemen is what you get when you have a kid, he gets picked on for doing stupid things i school, and you tell him it's not his problem -it's just those people have issues.
sf has some good food. you have to know what it is, and take an uber across town there. the claim was, you'd live in sf for its food. if you step out of your house and walk to surrounding restaurants, the food is very average, overly presented, and priced by artistic presentation - not taste.
when in tokyo, i can walk to a random place and get great sushi. in moscow, the russian food at any cheap hole in the wall is good (and greasy) - you don't need cafe pushkin. in sf, if you don't know where you're going and do some research, the food is average. which isn't bad. but average food is certainly no reason to live in a sausage factory and pay 2mil for a studio.
the reason they go is to socialize. both men and women prefer to socialize in an environment that's not mostly men. bars were listed as a reason people live in sf. i say it's not, because a sausage fest that closes at 1am is not something people find as a reason to live in a city. the people who do are the people who sit at their weird guy-table in a normal bar full of girls, afraid to walk up and say hello.
ok, so can you link any data that is from an actual scientific peer-reviewed study, which takes out the cases where babies were fed formula with poison in it? because i gotta tell you, in my 3 years of searching -all the real data for a formula that has been analyzed safe by a lab, says formula is just as good as milk.
it's the method i used to move capital in my small american business when i opened an office in russia. a company in another country is a separate legal entity. you charge market rates, as you would any other company. it has zero to do with my post.
the complaint is profit is taxed instead of revenue. the complaint is not valid.
it's not about a pickup joint. when i go out, i enjoy women in the crowd. i know it's hard for you to understand with your large anime and mgtow collection, but men like to hang out with a good mix of women -for the company, not just the sex. heck, even my wife doesn't like a bar full of guys. and no one likes a saturday night hangout that closes at 1am. that's not a bar -that's a daycare. the drinks you described do seem appropriate for a daycare.
that wonderful experience you just went on about? yeah, no one wants that if they can help it. lift some weights, acne cream, shave with a razor not a hair trimmer, maybe a nosejob. and if you go somewhere only to, you know, drink, maybe time to start some aa meetings instead of a bar.
people of all sexes go to bars to socialize, not to drink. alcoholics go to bars to drink.
i find it funny you listed food trucks in that mix of street fast food and hipster fusion. world-famous cuisine indeed.
mais j'ai une question. si tu ne parle rien le francais, why do you use french words where there is an english one already -'new.' is it just to make something that's the same, sound hip and cool?
everyone's got big burritos, a classic indian food, vegan crap no one is interested in but vegans, and food trucks. what sf did was add weird twists to everyfay food, just to make it cool and different -not for taste. just like you did with the word 'new.'
it's ranch and lettuce on a pizza. it's cool to try one time. the novelty wears off after that 1 time.
so, i'm not getting this. they take revenue, not profit offshore. profit meaning global profit. you want to tax the money they make in your country, without them first paying expenses in other countries?
so if i have developers and research in america, and software sales in australia, my australian costs are $0, and all revenue is taxable profit. yeah, that seems fair. double fair for australia.
the south is known for great bbq. chicago is the meat capitol, with deep dish and greektown. maryland for crab and maine for lobster, nyc has authentic jew-food that rivals what i ate in israel and jordan.
what is the food sf is known for? because if i literally ask anyone i know, the answer will be 'fusion.' or 'pizza' with ranch and lettuce in it.
you're known for california rolls. the big mac of sushi.
known doesn't mean known just to you.
you may have some good restaurants here and there that people can uber to. the rest is fusion of hipster and lsd microdoses.
in a city i want to live in, i walk outside and pick from 5 good places. you take an uber across town to those. people are leaving now that work doesn't require them there. to a cities with better food.
american here who's lived in france and still use an azerty keyboard because it lets me type in both languages. how do you get a capital A with an accent on an azerty keyboard?
sounds like you've done research, so i'll jump on the tangent. i've always assumed formula by now is as good as milk from the tap, outside if the mom's antibodies being passed on. and my opinion is after going through digestion they help only a little.
is formula not as good? the wife and i don't have kids yet, but the plan was always to get on formula after like 3 months. simply because not doing that destroys the tits, and a wetnurse is just gross.
serious question, just being blunt.
edit: thanks everyone for your answers. the point about us not knowing everything about the milk is very valid. i do find we would have had ample scientific evidence by now of formula not having everything needed , since formula has been globally used for so long. as far as bad chemicals, we do have lab reports, which i actually use to find vitamin brands. wetnurse being gross is a stupid feeling i have, and maybe antibodies from a genetically dissimular host not being good for you -like attacking the baby's cells since they're foreign.
heh. food scene. i don't want a 'food scene.' i just want good food. i don't care if it's on 3 plates with sauce designs, i don't care if it looks like a beef-flower, or if it photographs well for my 'stream.'
btw the british school of cuisine is one of the most famous in the world. not scene-wise though, but good food is for eating, not instagram.
sf is definitely not known for tasty food. it's known for showing off food. good for bored tourists. not good to live there. and no, sf doesn't habe good greek food or middle-eastern food. i've been to greece and the middle east quite a bit, and they have better food at has stations.
sf is all show and hype. that's not what locals want.
i did not go to mission, so my comment about density may not be correct. which is why i asked. that's one neighborhood though.
as far as sake.. i don't drink anymore, for a while now, but you're wrong. serving it warm brings out the taste, and makes any cheap nastiness worse. serving it cold is what hides it. having a store that only sells sake does not make it 'the store for sake.' there are many stores stateside that have a good sake selection. they also sell japanese beer and plum wine. and in the style of true sf culture, you just said japan has crappy sake, which is why they serve it warm, while sf is doing the traditional japanese wine correctly. this -people like you on every corner, is why i didn't like sf. it's the culture -or lack thereof.
The OP literally stated a reason to live in SF is the food. That's simply false. It's not poor quality, but it's no reason to live there. It's not better than in an average city.
