I'm with the other poster. You're comparing apples to oranges in a 20k vs 60k car. I assume people spending that much on vehicles do want the fancy electronics.

At some point in my life, schools got tasked with teaching everything you need as a person. Things your parents or a business or the community or your employer taught you. I don't know when, but it wasn't always like this.

You're correct. That woman (Clinton) had no chance in winning, because Republicans had spent years hammering her in anticipation of her inevitable run, and many Democrats felt she was chosen before the primary, leading to much apathy

I used that book as a background example in a presentation I did you faculty on how to integrate new open resources into their classes. One guy in the back laughed really hard at that screen and everyone looked at him like he was a lunatic.

If I don't understand it, I usually attribute it to a fetish that I luckily do not have, yet.

Oh man, I love flying over the Pacific Ocean (during the day). There's just so much nothing but water. It's kind of astounding.

Honest to God, the best meditation for me is Focus 1 from The Gateway Tapes. I'm not sure the woo of astral projection and energy control are for me at all. But when it comes to blanking my mind and existing purely in the exact right n

I truly believe we're headed that direction. I've lived long enough to have seen a wide variety of presidents, both good and bad. This one is easily the worst one, in terms of bare naked power grabs. I believe Trump will manufactu

I lived briefly where the sun doesn't really shift that much in the sky. I didn't think about it at the time, but that constant noon day sun really messed with my sense of time passing. Weird.

Fark and cracked in about 2007 were peak post development, profit motivated Internet. Homestar runner and albino black sheep (shout out to flashback for many fun dmt experiences) in about 2004 was peak fun Internet.

My Wi-Fi isn't. I live about 2 miles away from my closest neighbor, so it was an inconvenience. The trick was finding TV's and what not that don't need an Internet connection. Vizio was the only brand I could find that still

When it comes to China and its ability to quickly mass produce items while incrementally improving on them, I absolutely will view the past as an indicator of the future. It's just what they do as a nation.

I would argue that it is 100% searching in the address bar. Mobile has trained people to do that, and search results are usually solid enough to take you to the right place.

I work at a college, and can tell you that (while everyone views their childhoods with rose colored glasses), at my institution, statistically kids today are less able to cope with difficulty than they were when I started my career. When I

That's literally my point. I did exactly what you did, just in a different context to point out the absurdity of the statement.

That. Our oldest was out by himself all the time when he was smaller. Then it got to be less and less. Because it was just him. His friends couldn't go anywhere unless a parent went with them. There's no unsupervised time, and the

That's not really an answer though. My kid walks home from his friend's houses in the woods at night alone all the time. He has never once been eaten or kidnapped. Statistically your children are more likely to be victimized by yo

I guess maybe I didn't phrase that correctly - I ask challenging questions, but don't state the things I "know" without clarification first. I meant that I don't just pop off with "yeah, but in reality it'

I would've loved to get a lightning when we replaced the farm truck this year. If would've been great to be able to charge it while our solar array was pumping out power. But the price on those things is eye wateringly high. We go
