uTorrent is pure ad-filled garbage since they bought it...nearly impossible to use from all the popups and shit. at one time it was the only thing anyone used but i seriously doubt anyone bothers with it anymore.

Yet more bullshit "diseases" invented by the psychiatric community to push drugs for their big pharma overlords. Doesn't the WHO have better things to do, like fighting real diseases such as malaria? Everybody goes on little

Americans have always called those cars "bugs"...imagine if they took this nonsense that far.

Umm...not true. There is no rail on the edge of Half Dome..you can literally hang your feet off the edge, as I have done....and it was pretty cool.

In that case I hope Sandoz wants to start selling one of it's famous products again soon...

Well, you know what he will say...the same thing everyone says. The same thing Google says about the rampant copyright theft their platform allows. The same thing Facebook says about bullying, fake news, and the like. The same thing Naps

Glass and washing powder? Is anyone out there that evil? I mean, there are countless cheap and benign white powders that can be used.. I've heard some stories, but none as brutal as yours... just...wow.

How would anyone ever prove such an interaction in isolation? There are probably millions of chemical compounds present in our bodies and foods and air and water, etc. That would lead to essentially infinite interactions, wouldn't it

I don't know. I used cocaine for a pretty brief period in my life and the side effects were pretty severe...although mostly psychological, not so much physical. Perhaps when the leaves are chewed, the combination of various compounds

Seems simple enough. Just feed mice roasted coffee beans as their only food (which should keep them alive, shouldn't it?) and see what happens. I'm pretty sure if you could find molecules in anything that, if extracted and inje

People who are good with plants can grow anything in climate controlled greenhouses. Some of the orchids and things like staghorn ferns people grow are incredibly delicate. Even some of the mushrooms you buy in the store for a few dollars

Umm..maybe I'm missing something but I don't recall reading about a lot of security breaches with Android, outside of some dumb users downloading very shady apps here and there. Now, you wanna talk jokes, let's talk about the

Yeah, but will it run Photoshop? Until you can run real apps, how can it compete with PC clones and Macs? I do appreciate my Chromebook a lot, but there isn't even a decent video player for it...I mean, it isn't a real OS despite

Umm...so who pays for cleanups and other damage in situations like Fukushima? Perhaps you should read this article before trying to promote something like this: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/clearing-the-r

You know walking is one of the best forms of exercise, right? Just take a walk.

Any exercise reduces depression, even just walking or something as simple as doing dishes. The brain needs a lot of oxygen. This is obtained from blood. Which needs to circulate. Which comes from exercise. This is such a no-brainer, how

I know I'm new here but I wish people wouldn't link to bloomberg and other sites (including the NYT) that only let you read X number of "free articles" per month. I know how to get around it, but it is a bother. Anyone

How many "years ago" are we talking about here? The 1950s? You know how much corporate-type legal teams bill per hour, right? Several hundred dollars per hour . And there are filing fees, marshal fees for the serving, and pro

Do you know of even a single case of a credit card company actually (not just threatening) suing a regular person? Just curious, but I think for 99% of people's credit limits it would be a -EV (poker term for "negative expected v

If you are buying 1600 oz. of silver, why not just buy 21 ounces of gold instead? lighter! But honestly I doubt too many people even have limits that high on their cards. Anyways, as an American who's grandfather landed on Normandy i

Silver and gold "rounds" (as they are called) minted by South Africa (Krugerrands), USA (Eagles), Canada (Maple Leafs), Australia, New Zealand, and so on are nearly as liquid as $100 bills, and you'd probably only lose at mo

Villagecoin.com takes AMEX and they sell all manner of very liquid investment type stuff, like silver and gold ounces (they are even claiming to be an "Authorized U.S. Mint Gold and Silver Dealer" by golly). So there's your

But don't banks want you to be in debt to them, paying 24.9% annual interest? Isn't this how banks make much of their money? Why would they care how you enslave yourself to them? Anyways, even if cash advances have been outla

An odd business decision. I mean, you can withdraw cash at casino ATMs in Vegas, I know because I've (unfortunately) done it. You can use credit cards for addictive stuff like 976 numbers too. Or to buy liquor. Or whatever else. So

Since I came to Korea, I've advertised for language exchange partner on the bulletin board in the local university, and it has provided a stream of sort-of friends, and a couple of pretty good ones. I think you need to do activities th
