I'm sorry but your ageism offends me. Are we just going to exclude teens and children? Can a 15 year old not operate a laptop? "Man" and "Woman" imply adults, and ageism is not okay . Do you see how fast this type

Diablo is dead, the people that know how to make Diablo games left a long time ago. They can't even remaster Diablo 2 without fucking it up. You can't even play single player offline without signing into a "Blizzard account&q

I will admit celsius 0 is useful for farming (will there be a bud-killing frost?), but I have no issue with the use of celsius in industry; there are merits for each system, and we don't need to eliminate one to get the benefit of the

Windmill and wind turbine are interchangeable in English, and have been for quite some time. You can occasionally make a distinction for a traditional windmill for actual grain, but if its a bunch of blades spun by the wind, windmill works

What if we went the other direction and made windmills out of transparent materials so the NIMBYs and Kennedys would not bitch about them? Glass-effect windmills would look pretty cool.
