Ever eat a freshly peeled, juicy, brown banana? What about a soft, mushy, bruised apple? Me neither.

I take it you don't shop for perishables, much? If you're going to a butcher, you should expect 4 star meat since you're paying 4 star prices. A butcher that sells questionable product probably won't be around for too l

For packaged goods, maybe. Have you ever watched how people pick out specific apples from the bin? Do you ever sniff the package of raw chicken before you put it in your cart? Have you ever seen somebody tapping on a melon before buying

You're forgetting the object is 3-D so it needs a much bigger picture (3282.8 degrees?), a firmness rating, a yet-to-be invented smell-o-vision attribute AND a complete update every hour.

Have you ever watched the Olympics? Modest talents appear in the Olympics ALL. THE. TIME. Here are just a few off the top of my head: - Liz Swaney, the woman who may have singlehandedly gotten the Olympic Committee to add a minimum acceptab

I think if you want to be the best, you've got to train with the best. Success has a positive feedback loop.

I disagree. If anything, it shows that when average students are given top-notch instructors and surrounded by highly motivated peers, those average students raise their game. The exact same thing happens in amateur sports and is why athlet

But if left to it's own devices (or with a little assistance from the bison), may return to prairie very quickly. I suspect it wouldn't take long for native grasses to outcompete any residual farmable crops.

I tend to agree with an idea that's mentioned in the article. Perhaps much of the land in certain flyover states should just return to the bison? While it means most of the towns would disappear, some would greatly succeed. I'd

I tend to agree, in principle. What you're seeing in Vegas are people trying to sell their rentals (while they still can).

What did he whistleblow on exactly? That car manufacturing is dirty? That parts of the vehicle get dinged & scratched and are still used? What is the revelation here?

Many would suggest it's because multi-billion dollar industries (insurance, medical administration, tax, accounting) are partially dependent upon its enormous complexity for their existence. Or, perhaps because the lobbying of a few s

The September 1st cutoff for Kindergarten is treated as a distinct milestone when it really should be treated as part of a developmental window. As far as California is concerned, if you have a kid born on September 1st, they get 2 years o

Try the ferry. Once you get a whiff of sitting outside on the bay during a beautiful sunset commute, breathing in the urine odors of your typical BART car will never seem a viable alternative.

You have no idea. Many Master Planned Communities have very restrictive CC&R's (Covenants, Codes & Restrictions) that you must contractually agree to abide to in order to buy a property there. I've seen all kinds of fun

If you want to see what full neighborhood teardowns look like, plan a visit to Vancouver, BC. The number of McMansions popping up all over the place is shocking.

There is a huge gulf (ocean) in motivation between trying to bring "democracy" to third world countries and an attack on the country's doorstep. When only 1 DEA agent was murdered in Mexico, it provoked an enormous response.

Lessons are helpful. Swimming regularly and building arm endurance is important. Starting on an 8' soft top is useful. Going where the waves are big enough to ride but not big enough to scare the crap out of you is vital. Learning

You're not taking into consideration the fact that Amazon prices fluctuate rapidly, sometimes daily (hourly?). You can still find good deals on Amazon, you just need to get lucky and/or be patient with their pricing algorithm. U

The number-one-most-powerful tool that I can recommend in teacher development is getting mentored by a Master Teacher once you are in your own classroom (ie, not student teaching). The good news is that you will likely get exposure to many
