I didn't flesh out my thought process but I'm thinking that there has to be some real reason to go with this over Uber or Lyft. Obviously, no one should restructure their life around the availability of this kind of service. I&#x2

Who's going to trust this? Google is so quick to terminate technologies that I'm hesitant to try anything new that they bring to market.

This is a popular canard but the bulk of the NRA's money comes from the membership dues, donations of its members and selling branded merchandise. Roughly 85% of the NRA's money comes from sources other than gun manufacturers.

The number of households who answer in the affirmative when asked by pollsters has certainly dropped in that time period. I have serious doubts that the actual number of gun owning households has dropped that much.

Back in the 90s, I used to run my own. It was extremely frustrating when big ISPs started blocking mail from dynamic addresses. I understand why they had to do it but it was still inconvenient for people like me.

What I love about that study is that it's confirmation of what should be common sense. People purchase disposable bottles because of the convenience. This is just my opinion but I don't believe that the first step should be trying

Claimed societal interest in preventing harm to offspring born from inbreeding. Does this mean that marriages between same-sex siblings will be permitted? It's simply the fact that we find the idea of siblings having sex to be icky.

ARMs and Interest Only mortgages factored heavily into that situation. I have a friend who lost a house during the bubble because his ARM went up when he was having financial difficulties. I bought mine a few months before the bubble burst.

I suspect that this has something to do with the fact that a portion of the administrative work is offloaded to the broker. I never met anyone from the lender when I got my mortgage. All of the background investigation, income/employme

In 2008, I was house shopping. I was pre approved for a mortgage by the bank that I was using at the time. A couple of weeks later, I found the house that I wanted and went to the bank headquarters to get started on finalizing the deal. The

This has jumped the shark and landed in the land of absurdity. It's one thing to display a confederate battle flag on a government building as a sign that you're opposed to the civil rights advances of the 1960s and it's an e

Two days ago it occurred to me that I hadn't watched cable in approximately two months. I watch TV every day. I watch Netflix that much. If I could get AMC and FX as standalone streaming services, I'd probably drop cable entirely.

I could respond to that with "I'm going to assert my 5th amendment right and not answer that question" or "That was several months ago, I don't recall exactly what I thought" or "Because it was near the en

With this efficiency, it could be feasible to just split the water at the point-of-use. If you have the power source at the point of use, it's still more efficient to just use that for propulsion. There has to be a way to store the h

Probably he wanted to lean on my immediate statement of "this is broken but I am fixing it tomorrow" in any trial, like, "he immediately confessed to the crime." That's precisely why he asked the question in the f

How is one to know for certain if they are being detained if one does not ask? The questions are repeated when a noncommittal response is given or when the answer is incongruous with the behavior of the officer(s). For example "I just

People make jokes about the Libertarian practice of repeating "Am I being detained? Am I free to go?" when questioned by a police officer but it would have done this man a lot of good. I see this as being just as much about the po

Precisely. Fortunately, I am paid a salary. If I get jury duty, I still get paid. I wouldn't try to avoid it for financial reasons. The state has the power to take someone's freedom, their assets and their life. The only mitigatio

I believe that he means it's irrational that he's bothered by the idea of killing a cow but not by the idea of killing a chicken.

I commented on this yesterday. The Center for Science in The Public Interest engaged in a media campaign to pressure restaurants to switch from animal derived fats (like lard and beef tallow) to vegetable derived fats(like Crisco). They use

I haven't checked the chemistry but I do have a question. Can the oils that we're currently hydrogenating be used for biofuel production?

Oh, there are "ethical vegans" who would, if they could get a 51% majority, make the consumption of meat illegal. They're the "meat is murder!!!!" types. I don't have a problem with the "I have made a pers

It's completely subjective. Some people like the taste. If someone wants to go full vegan, good for them. Just don't try to force that choice on everyone.

That's precisely why science needs to continue for its own sake and not as a tool to push political agendas. Just think how bad things would be if someone had taken that 70s era belief in global cooling and used it as a justification t

Does anyone else remember when the Center for Science in The Public Interest pressured everyone to move away from saturated fats to trans fats? The people leading the charge on this are the primary reason why we went to trans fats in the fi

The reduction in environmental lead exposure makes much more sense than Roe v Wade. State by state, country by country, it matches up to a crime reduction more than abortion.
