Not saying they got all tech decisions right, but they did handle it by falling back many steps, using current knowledge to build crude antique tech. They had more concern with bootstrapping than jumping straight to launching satellites.

My kids are involved with wrestling and the sport is generally all about getting more people involved in anyway possible. There are rules for the deaf to allow a translator to walk around the outside of the mat to sign. There are rules fo

What's the political take? Calling it unlawful? How is the mandate doing in court so far? There are numerous videos over the last 1.5 years of high ranking officials saying the federal government doesn't have the authority to f

Whenever someone is pushing a mandate on someone else, I wish they would be called out if they are already following that mandate. In this case it would be asked of those from MADD, "Have you installed these devices yourselves?"

There are way too many 15 minute videos along the lines of "How to do X in Y" which should be 30 seconds long. The downvotes are telltale for these, then the most upvoted comment tends to be, "actual answer at 13:30". O

A Broker Price Opinion (BPO) is typically set by appraisal, comparable sales and comparable listings. Depending on how cookie cutter the neighborhood is, there are many different levels of "appraisal" from drive by photos to a de

My opinion of the problem is one specific type of communication. The guilty parties include both the left and right politically, as well as anyone else with an axe to grind about something. These people communicate not like they are having

There are explanations for why these stories come out about Amazon needing to be unionized that which can put bad actors on either side of those stories. I'm not anti-union, but I'm amazed that so many people view them as 100% pur

It only takes one choke point or low bridge or prohibited route to ruin your whole trip. While 99% of US roads may be bigger and wider, 1% of a 400 mile daily trip can cause major problems.
