What do you mean by "more attention compared to its actual impact on everyday lives"? Firearms are currently tied with motor vehicles as the second leading mechanism of injury-related death [0]. Number 1 is poisoning, which has re

Can someone who thinks Uber's pricing is unethical or bad please explain their reasoning? Why would the scenario without surge pricing be preferable to you? The result without surge pricing would be a much longer queue. Queues typicall

People have been known to mistake them for volvariella volvacea or amanita brunnescens . The article doesn't say how young the specimens these people ate were. Mushrooms that seem obvious as adults can be harder to identify when you

Makes me wonder what the best options are for cheap phones and laptops that can be used while traveling. Also, does having saved passwords in a computer (for servers, email, GitHub, etc.) mean that CBP could use those passwords to search co

Have you asked why they spend time setting up VMs they don't need? A good first step is stop saying, "people like this." Perhaps try starting with the five whys: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5_Whys

I just started home brewing and I'm not sure I understand this product. "Hit brew and walk away" says USA Today. Why, that's almost as easy as simply buying beer! This kind of defeats the point of home brewing as a ho

I would like a "more like this" feature and maybe some voting buttons. The quality is pretty variable, although there are some gems in there. Not sure how you prevent voting from being gamed.
