I don't hear a voice in my head. I read much faster than anyone can talk - I can't imagine what that would sound like.

Attempts from both sides of the argument are politicized and misguided. There's no need to argue from the standpoint that "animals do it/ don't do it." There are plenty of things animals do that we don't. We&#

I've used this strategy, and it's pretty awesome if you have a lot of smaller debts that snowball pretty quickly.

Mr. Money Mustache is pretty awesome but the guy had a very highly paid job that allowed him to retire early. Some of us are fiscally responsible and don't make all that much cash - I find that a lot of his advice is fairly useless unl

I think a better starting point is Sleep's live performance at Hellfest - see it on youtube. This music is much better understood in a live context.

I think the guitar being amplified has a lot to do with how popular it became. The guitar really took off when it became possible to be heard over a big band. This really emphasizes its usefulness as a solo instrument. I think horns were tr

I also look at his site. I discovered it maybe 3 months before he passed away, it still makes me sad.

I don't know...I can't imagine a small electric dirt bike being useful with 100 - 120 lbs of gear (typical infantryman payload with full pack), plus the rider. I think the technology needs to come a long way.

Marines don't even speak while on patrol, it's pretty obvious that a robot powered by a gas engine wouldn't be a good idea. MARSOC units apparently use electric dirtbikes to quickly through rough terrain on some missions.

Wow, someone who gets it. Science has really become the religion of our time, "scientists" are the priesthood. We should trust their recommendations unconditionally, without question.

The thing that annoys me is the idea that I should pay for a service that I've never needed so that I can store everything on the cloud. Actually, I should pay for three or four services. It's really not a good deal for me.

I don't know where you're getting your $100 from. A cheap handle cost me $15.00, is perfectly functional. I've been using the same one for 5 years. I buy blades at 2 - 5 cents apiece on Amazon, and they last me the same amoun

I've been using DE razors for 5 years or so. I have a very thick beard, the DE razors are so much nicer on my face. Buying blades bulk on Amazon, they're about 2 cents apiece.

The problem with anonymity is "unacceptable" or "problematic" speech. I say, let everyone speak their mind freely, and anonymously. You'll get racists and radicals speaking their minds along with everyone else, and

Right. I live in a rural area in the West, lots of towns look like this (not as green). The town looks poorly maintained but fairly clean, not a lot of trash etc. I don't see the signs that I see in crime infested areas.

In other words, lazy content providers are complaining because user's are unwilling to conform to the model that they want us to.

No one is denying content providers the right to monetize by blocking ads. The onus is on them to find a business model that the market will support.

That's pretty much the sum of it. And frankly, there's nothing wrong with that. It's how markets work. You provide something of value, and someone purchases it, or you provide something of no value, and the market refuses to

In no way is blocking ads theft. The ads are using your bandwidth.

Right. We need a blocker that loads the ads and "sandboxes" them from the user.

This is what people did in the past. People are doing this now, and they will continue to do this. TBH, most of the content that will go away as a result of adblocking is garbage anyway. It's the paid bloggers and other leeches that ha

I have an even better model than that: Website erects paywall, nobody pays for content, and another irrelevant site bites the dust.

This is correct. I would be happy with the web I was using in 1995, to be honest. Most of the non-corporate content was produced by people who did so simply for the chance to talk about their passion and have an audience. I could care less
