the new us federal digital accessibility regulations for public unis provide another good reason to keep the xml readable

i just meant most different, independent of valence! i much prefer in-arena, but i'm not really a hockey guy, just in it for the energy

there's going to be a file drawer problem so long as reporting null results is an opt-in affair (and whether the opting-in happens before or after the "confirmatory study" is run)

Give it a try here!

even if it's required, "there are no deep metaphysical truths other than this one" is such a trivial revision

regardless, such a shallow move by the proclaimed advocate of depth

this is the project that dan was far and away most excited to talk about over the last several years of his life

until reading this and looking it up just now, i had for many years been under the impression that the etymology of "internecine" had to do with disagreements within nicene christianity. i wonder whether i've mispelled it in print or if spellchecker has saved me
