The only way to lose weight without damaging oneself is to combine more exercise with less eating, which means becoming comfortable being hungry. Yes, it's difficult -- especially after developing bad eating habits over a long time --

Wow, front-page to oblivion is one way to change the world. Our choices can only affect our own negative karma, never anyone else's, because we alone are responsible for the harm we cause. Our media corps downplayed outright lying in t

We must first embrace personal compassion as an active ethos of selfless service, otherwise we become hypocrites. If you think 'harnessing sociopaths' is a good idea, you might just be a sociopath. In the least, you definitely hav

I find "technical debt generator" to be hilarious, if a little too close to home ;-)

The problem is that we have not been taught how to weigh different ideas' merits and demerits. The scale is compassion with respect to how acting upon an idea affects human beings and the Earth, Herself. Money is a tool for trade, but

The universe started with an intention and then a great deal of energy (Big Bang), followed by a continuous sustained maintenance of the laws that keep things working (gravity, energy and matter, ...). We, too, need to start with an intenti

Sounds like the precise opposite of B.B. King doing his famed vibrato, by 'twilling' (?) around his index finger.

We are the information processors of the universe and have special abilities with respect to understanding the truth of a given situation. Those abilities, however, do have a development curve that is aligned with how we have chosen to mora

That made me smirk, but I am curious, "What would be the best color for general webcam colored-object tracking?" I'm sure it would depend on the sensor, but I wonder if one color would be best for the most basic hardware.

Unfortunately, their ignorance has made them the tools and fools of bad, bad folks.

Nothing NATO has ever done has jeopardized anything for Russia. Russia did their evil sh_t because they're evil. Sending a couple of guys to poison an ex-KGB guy and his daughter in Britain is just one example. That article said Russia

That's interesting. My wife's cooking has done it to her ring finger as well. She spoke to a hand orthopedist, but he said that she'd be out of action for weeks if they did the procedute that shaves it, so they just gave her

No, I just unwittingly played the correct one. Who should stop some soldiers from having a little fun, eh? Oh well, the more things change, the more they stay the same. The soul that forgoes compassion has sown a bitter seed, my friend, who

Well, Russia begging North Korea for meat to push into its meatgrinder tells me a thing or two about the situation, however dire. Remember: Ukraine is fighting for nothing less than survival. Sun Tzu said to not put your enemy on death grou

Yeah, that makes sense. It's just kindof weird how it's so wrong. It's like "news outlets" don't have editors anymore :-)

Actually, it was South Korea that did the extraditing. The US requested it. The suspect will be tried in a Maryland (US) federal court, starting Nov 4. That title is utter crap, but it is the actual TechCrunch article title.

Brother, many people just choose to forget the history of WWI and WWII and all that ensued. To many in the world, a few more raped Ukrainians are just the cost of doing business in their status quo. Every single person on Earth with means i

Are you saying that laying down stops the rapist?

Perhaps the East Germans, Czechs, et al remember Soviet brutalization? And let's remember that attacking Ukraine was utterly illegal, without a semblance of moral justification, and carried out utterly barbarically.

Well, that's why Russia supported its newly-reelected useful idiot here in America, right? I wonder what the body-language experts say about their body language when they got out of the off-the-record face-to-face meeting they had in (

A large number of decent people do not become evil; they resist evil, denounce it. By definition, a good person cannot be swayed by evil people. Only the morally ignorant and callous can be swayed by evil. Yes, that is the majority; it alwa

What was just done in America is going to hurt people all across the world, and it was not a small number of people.

People are capable of being good, by nature. Because of free will, however, they are also capable of being selfish, to the detriment of others. We each sit upon the razor's edge, with the free will to be how we are, each day anew, to e
