It never fails to amaze me how little people seem to care about local politics, the stuff that effects them the most day to day. Our local elections get an okay turn out, because we've done a good job of making people aware of how impo

The eyes are extremely impressive. Playing with the properties it makes sense how she did it, but I can't imagine how long I'd have to play with transforms and gradients to recreate that from scratch.

Every time I go through a bad turbulence, I picture myself as the narrator in Fight Club on one of his business trips. I look at whoever I'm with and say "Life insurance pays off triple if you die on a business trip".

I wouldn't defend Facebook for anything. But when you see reps like AOC hurl questions at him, and not even care if he answers them, it really highlights how these events only serve to create headlines or steer a narrative. You'd

The intelligence agencies have proven to be vindictive, and also a back-channel arm for straight up partisan politics. It seems like it goes unnoticed when the outcome is something that aligns with a party's goals. I just can't te

What does the endgame look like here? Does anyone have a realistic prediction? I root for these people because I can just begin to imagine my city being taken over by a country that would just disappear me if I become inconvenient. But does

Anybody who has every known the pain of running RealPlayer, knows what a Godsend VLC was. A free player that just works and is simple to use, it put those companies that didn't truly offer anything on ice.

I'm all for scrutinizing everybody who sits in that chair, but forget the candidates? If you're concerned about the state of our financial situation, I don't see how you can't be scared of these people. It makes me hope

Working for certain branches of the government has made me extremely cynical towards taxes. Just like most non-profit's main goal should be to put themselves out of business, many government programs should have methods of scaling back

Like I said, I'm just talking about anecdotal experiences. I have no stake in the trade war, I've just been wondering why shipping from there has taken months in some instances. I'm talking about a pair of shoes, not a washer

I think if it becomes a common problem for most of the USA, it could finally push the monopoly conversation to the forefront. People being frustrated with charges for a service that should have been next to free is what broke up Bell System

That's an extremely narrow view of a nuanced issue. We have divisive cultural issues, a severe mental health problem, an opiate addiction problem, and problems with access to guns in some areas. We also have a huge country. We also hav
