Remember when the nerds said, "The law should apply equally to all"?

One, a placebo does not need to be given blindly. A sugar pill is a placebo, even if the recipient knows about it. An actual definition: "A placebo is an inactive substance (like a sugar pill) or procedure (like sham surgery) with no i

What's fake is this concept that "How are you?" is an American thing. I get it; you probably first heard this from a comedian, and it is appealing. Brits offer, "Cheers!", but don't actually invest in hoping yo

Dropping it by accident. I sometimes venture away from the carpeted floor of my computer.

Indeed. They actually make devices that take pictures, but can't make phone calls or read Facebook. Pro photographers use them.

Such phones exist, for Android. Several companies* make highly rugged phones. You can drop a Blackview BV7000 down a concrete staircase, watch it drop into the ocean at the bottom, have lunch, come back, and retrieve your phone from 40&quot

What you think is reasonable is completely irrelevant. What the marketing, business development, and C-suite groups decide is the best course, will be done. I can want three cupholders, not two, on my next car, and I want it to be a Toyota

You are both entitled to your own definitions of "art".

The figure is dressed as a traditional Western business/politician man . The person is also weighty - not at all slim - which is consistent with middle or old age. Since that's all the info it gives us, it is acceptable to believ

If you expect that it's rotted, you haven't really forgotten it. That's the whole point: they expected empty containers. Which could happen to you, being (presumably) a human.

Dousing with boiling water does not sterilize things. Fermentation is still possible. Likely, even, if slower to start.

That's amazing, thank you!

No, they were literally Homo neanderthalensis.

The reality is that it's far more complicated than you make it seem. Archaeology has not been taken over by WYT racist plotting. Neanderthalis did get an undeserved reputation for being thick and dumb. We're correcting that. And,

Yeah, late one day in the lab, tired, aligning lasers, I used a mirror to check alignment because I knew I shouldn't put my eye in the path - so, like a complete, overtired idiot, I put the path in my eye instead. And thought, Hey, tha

You seem to be responding to the title, not the article content. Your website is your own, and that's not what the article is addressing. You don't have designers and governing boards; it's written about sites for bigger orga

Google did, and we did. Google won the search engine war by having a far superior engine, not because they had cute art for the six letters of the company name (which came later).

Literal pages of hyper-zoomed pictures of food, followed by pictures of groups laughing while eating, followed by mentions of catering and merch... and vital info at the very bottom, with dinner menus hidden in web menus, or only available

Very few if any of these are applicable to "any real job by average citizens".

I feel that, too. And the speeds those move at! There's a spot in the video where it refers to "real-time" replication of DNA, but that has got to be more like "sped up until smooth". Miles of DNA aren't gettin

And bootleggers will always bootleg, and smugglers will always smuggle. For that matter, murderers will find ways to murder. Shall we just abolish all laws? None of them have any effect whatsoever, if they are even slightly imperfect... by
