Nothing sends a conversation down the path of, "I hate Hitler, but he did do a couple of things right", like when you bring up the Roma. My mom and dad got harassed by some Roma in Spain and my dad, as he puts it, might have just

What would be the best way to tell if there is a market crash about to happen? Is there a way to monitor for a decrease in Help Wanted ads or an uptick in vacant commercial properties in SV? There has to be some numbers before the crash tha

They need to break the states up too. Southern California $100 is a lot different than a Northern California $100. $100 living along the coast is a lot different than $100 living inland.

To me, this is what it is. If young Humpbacks are vulnerable for a certain amount of time, being good at protecting them would a good idea. They can't risk losing that skill since every time they fail, a young Humpback dies.

Late career Howard Stern show is a fantastic show. Yes, there are the usual collections of low-brow humor, stunts and fart jokes. However, every now and then there will be an A or B level movie/TV/sport star on and Howard can spen

It is funny to explain to people that don't know anything about GPS that the government not only runs it, the Department of Defense is the steward of it. I guess people assume that something as "cool" as GPS system can't

Speaking as a San Diego native, it does get colder than 68 and it definitely gets warmer than 72. Summers can get a little hot when the Santa Anna winds kick in. However, compared to vast majority of places on earth, our weather is better.

Having worked at Amazon.com, we used to joke that we could get anyone to move to Seattle if they interviewed in August. The summers are pretty amazing in Seattle, but the weather sucks the other 9 months of the year.

It sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. The latency of NFS is just too high (Even if it is very fast for NFS) for it to be safe for a database.

Logically, how is this even possible? Xplane does not own Google Play Store and Xplane is not aware that Google is violating a patent then how is Xplane responsible for the patent violation? This strikes me a 15 minute conversation in front

Can you record your conversations (I think you can)? But most importantly, can you use WhatsApp without a cell phone number? It has to be tied to your email address and not a cell phone.

You are splitting hairs. I pay into SSI and there is an expectation that I will get a certain amount out of it based on when I retire and when I die. It is known today what I will get out in the future. Also, since the Social Security fund

Social Security is not a give away. People have paid into SSI for years and they are getting their money out of it. No one is giving them free money and they free to blow it as they see fit.
