Yes, yes, all is true here. But you forget: Half of America is illiterate. "According to data analyzed via the National Literacy Institute, roughly 54% of American adults read below a sixth-grade reading level." So, those folks a

I hate to say this, but (for every person I've asked) this was a simple "no-brainer". There must have been internal 'political' reasons to avoid Apple. Maybe the managemant hated Tim Cook?? I dunno.

"mass-production of humanoid robots is now inevitable in the next five years" My take? Probably not. It takes immense capital (which i guess, arguably, there is), and immense time and manpower to set up factories, research materia

I'm guessing that this number is the result of the average of "x" people in the study, and not an individual measurement. But, yeah, I see what that looks like.

"The recent incident of this nature occurred on May 29, 2026, when a LATAM Airlines Boeing 787-8 (registration CC-BBD) had its L2 passenger door torn off by an air-stairs vehicle on Easter Island " There. Fixed it for you.

Yikes! I know that this is "normal" here in the U.S., but the guy paid over $26K just to sell his home. We sold our home with a "quit-claim deed" and only paid a lawyer $600 to write it up and make it kosher. Buyer was T

Sounds exactly like car insurance. If you don't "move around", they keep pricing it higher every year until you wake up...

To be fair, there's piles of sh*tty renters too, who abuse the system and ruin the experience for everyone. If you have ever been a landlord, especially in certain market areas, it pays to be that "lazy asshole", otherwise yo

Yes, these are MY questions and feelings too. In the past, if I just HINTED at asking these kinds of questions, I was downvoted into oblivion (in other accounts. I have to say THAT specifically because some people here dive in to my account

And (weirdly, I think) a few years back they called alcoholism and smoking diseases, which, well, really??

Honest question here: how is a worm (parasite) considered a "disease"? I Googled this question two different ways and got two different responses.

You obviously didn't Google this, since there are states in America where the people are PROUD to show off the guns and gun racks in their trucks. Yes, they proudly display these guns. (Texas, looking at you)

"The capsule is strong enough to survive a storm at sea or getting crushed between two icebergs." The first part is probably true. The second part is folly. "Remember the Titanic".

Interesting take. I've used MacOS for 30+ years, and for the last 20 years have had zero problems with updating immediately... For that matter, iOS has been flawless also.

I was waiting to see in the comments EXACTLY this question: There is no way to dump this heat. 1000hp? Yeah, maybe for a few seconds, even with oil coolant pumping through there. Then how to dump the heat from the oil. And further thinking,

X-Ray tables?? Seriously? Why are the feds looking at the gambling, and NOT the uncontrolled beaming of raw x-rays into a room full of people. There's GOT to be a law covering that...

Haha! We did the same thing! And we caught about 2 gallons of yellow jackets too. We let it run for about 10 hours (it gets them coming or going), and then when we took down the vac, I let it run and sprayed wasp spray to make sure they wer

I feel the pain. On a camping trip on the banks of the Mississippi one year, my son and his family slept overnight in his minivan, with just the rear window "wings" cracked open slightly for air. In the morning, we found out that
