Space users are trashier than my immature neighbors having a pool party. I don't get why space should be treated any differently than land in the middle of nowhere. Tragedy of the Commons is what happens when people just toss their Big

It's funny how the rich get roughly twice the welfare that people on welfare get... even though they're the ones who really don't need it. And now Texas is about to try to criminalize homelessness yet again, which I thought w

We're clearly not talking about the same class of printer. I was talking about flagship, departmental printers that typically do not sit on a table but have their own wheels and 3+ paper trays. I also avoid rebadged brands because they

I've had bruxism my entire life. Headaches, TMJ, and jaw pain are what I've experienced. Most people have back problems, so that could just be concomitant. I used to live in an area with endemic Lyme disease, but contracting that

F-35's are the epitome of the military-industrial complex: unnecessary, overpromised, and underdelivered (faulty, fragile, expensive, late). They should just be called F-111 2.0. It might not be a comedy of errors, but it could be a co
