Okay, every other commenter here is talking about how baseball is the national pastime. And, I think you understand that. I'll rephrase the question a bit here: How could any idiot white male raised in the US in the last 120 years poss

I'm not too familiar with his lawyers, but I suspect they passed their exams a long time ago in another state. Bar exams are funny things. Most states have a reciprocity with the NY bar, so when you think lawyer, think the NY bar. But

Caveat: I'm not very smart So, if 0.3 is 12 weeks of therapy, then 0.06 is ~2.5 weeks of therapy (0.3/0.06 = 2.4), assuming you pick any 2.5 random weeks of the 12 week course. Yes, I'm sure the first session is the most impo

The other issue is that these bombing will accomplish nothing of value. These rebels have been bombed to the stone age by Saudi already. The cost of the sorties is vastly larger than anything the rebels are sending. Yes, some 'show the

I'm reminded of the the old adage: You don't have to be faster than the bear, just faster than the hiker next to you. To me, the Ashley Madison hack in 2015 was 'good enough' for AGI. No really. You somehow managed to ge

Yeah, the issue is one of incentives. For all politicians, their incentive is to get (re)elected. That's pretty much part of the definition. The ones that follow that incentive are going to be (re)elected, those that don't aren&#x
