I live with two housemates. Some days they work from home, if I didn't have an office to work from, my house would become the office. Or more precisely my room as both my housemates work jobs that require lots of phone calls. I current

Yeah I agree completely. The media can manipulate this by controlling what people witness with their own eyes. People tend to stick to a small number of news sources, so these sources only tell one side of a story. You need as much of the i

But people were coerced by the media they saw into hating whichever candidate and, many, into loving one of them.

Fusion will never make energy "free". Currently fuel only takes up about a third of the cost of electricity, the remaining two thirds spread between the cost of maintaining a grid, and running/building a power station. So bes

I often find this problem hard to detect. Are things less interesting? Are films worse? Or am I just less interested. ON the flip side when I was a child, we had no internet and I remember long boring weeks of Summer (In a rural area, meant

Questions from their fans about their behaviour. You don't get to have a public, paid for, where you get to interact in a way that is positive to you. If your fans want to ask why you are betraying the values you espouse, then they&#x2

It takes less energy to accelerate less mass. So the lighter your vehicle the more fuel efficient it is for the same speed/acceleration. Going a lower speed is also more fuel efficient (depending on the engine, but it takes less energy

For anyone interested in learning more about the history of fusion power research I would recommend the book: A Piece of the Sun: The Quest for Fusion Energy I found it informative, and a really easy read to get a good overview of the histo

I don't think it's useful to look from an individual standpoint at taxes aside from income tax. If you keep going you can say you pay 'tax' when you buy something on sales tax, but also on a companies profits which you a

I think 20Mbps is ok if you are the only user (I would rather 30 at least). But if you live with other heavy internet users it can get congested easily. Someone streaming something, someone playing games, someone downloading something, this

Where I am gets quite hot in the summer (at least for me!). This can be offset by having shower facilities at work. Gets rid of the sweat, and turn it colder to lower your body temperature back to normal.

It also isn't particularly good for personal freedom, or social mobility. Recently society has been pushing for these two things, at the expense of personal connections. That means many successful people are working jobs that are out o

I didn't use my network to get a job. I moved to a new country with no network. I have a well paying job and am quite happy. I have not failed. I can see the benefit of having a network, and even leveraging it. But it is not everything

Whilst I understand where you are coming from, the statement "Unless you’re a developing nation it sounds way too expensive" is a bit crazy. Yes many countries without a legacy rail system are getting to hop straight to high speed

I disagree, no one should be expected to, week in week out, work for more than 40 hours a week. Of course there is regrettable crunch from time to time. Anything over that, is just unproductive in the long run. People will burn themselves o

Not really. Orbit isn't just about getting up there. It's about moving fast enough when you are up there. To destroy something in orbit, you just need to get the projectile up there. You don't also have to get it up to escape

Never having to?? I can understand "never being able to" being a flaw. But if I can get my stuff done without talking to someone then that is brilliant. I don't have to go out of my way to go somewhere, I don't have to b

Or shoes, or watches, or hats, or trousers, or shirts, or suits or anyone one of thousands of expensive items and brands. They make their money by telling people that owning them sends a signal to others.

Cheap no-frills restaurants are typically unhealthy in America. Think Mcdonalds. Also being a bit of a drive is not an issue. Most of the US doesn't have a dining out culture like in some other parts of the world, like Singapore, Vietn

I didn't know this was a thing! I'm honestly shocked there aren't any. Did they sign a contract with CompuB or something?
