When trees decay, a certain portion of the material remains solid and eventually becomes part of the soil layer. Also when trees burn, a certain amount stays as carbon/charcoal/ash in the ground. So while some of the carbon is rel

The earlier regulations were too broad and in theory could subject callers to a fine if they called or texted anyone else without prior consent. What he is asking for now is that caller IDs be verified. I don't know how realistic that

Older Toyotas rust horribly, especially the trucks, but are mechanically very solid. I've had rust issues with Nissans also. Honda seems to have it figured out. I've been quite happy with Ford also. Chrysler products are the worst

And only change what are real problems. Maybe something like a user needs to navigate to three different pages to get the information they need. That's something you can improve. But resist the urge to do a general facelift or reorga

Do you include your self-employment tax, health insurance, and saving for retirement in those three hours as well? Or is that just making up what was in your take-home pay?

Not the worst thing in the world. I have trouble reading code with very long identifiers. Conventionally, a line of code should not exceed 80 characters or so. That's pretty hard if identifers are 60+ characters by themselves. If your

Not sure how I feel about this. I often hover over a link to see where it is linking to, see if it has a title, etc. But that's probably not typical of most users. And I don't do it on sites I use often and am familiar with.

I'm over 50. I haven't encountered any age discrimination. Then again I don't go looking for it. I'm sure people make judgements about me based on my age and appearance. That's just life.

I bought about 100 regular incandescents in various wattages at Lowes before they were banned. I wish I had bought a lot more. They were about $0.25 per bulb at the clearance sale prices. CFLs and LEDs are poor substitutes from a quality-of
