Wow. It does. Wild. I literally saw the toe end of a shoe there, due to the darker colour. I wonder how many others will see that first, or if I'm just borked. (I had to go back, stare at it, enlarge the pic, stare some more, then

I wonder if anyone has anything from the early 80s. So much lost stuff.

I don't know why, but the picture of the shoe, with the knot at the toe end of the shoe, makes me angry. I mean, literally angry, very angry, yet there is zero valid reason to be that emotionally charged about it. Intellectually, I wo

While this is true isn't it helpful to make people feel included. In some cases, I found it the opposite. I've discussed this with a woman or two, as I was curious, and didn't want to offend. And they felt it includes t

Some of this is so colloquial. Where I live, 'guys' is even used by women, when speaking to a group of other women. People assuming how they use language, is right, assumes that there is one language, eg, one english, not many. V

Governments have banned many things, wildly popular things, even in democratic nations. While I agree popularity reduces risk, some Governments have banned alcohol for years, or how about even banning certain types of securities (2008 cras

You could say that about any commodity, like a stock. How is it valuable info though, a predictor of future performance?

I know, just shaking my fists at the sky with my hair loss, no worries.

There is nothing wrong with hair loss, it is perfectly natural, even when young and it doesn't mean you are getting old, not even a little bit, it even can look good, OK?

An amusing(yet sad) truth.

While essentially true, I find what leapt to my mind amusing. I pictured a mob enforcer, beating on a guy, but stopping @ 2 hours for his 15 minute break.

My first dive into a full length video porno! I'm trying to get Rami Malek to play Pottering.

No major disagreement, but I will add this... Eating too much, borrowing more money than you should, eating junk food, staying up too late, being addicted to your phone, texting whilst driving, perhaps these are all the same problem? And li

And yet people get up before dawn to go fishing and hunting. At no point did I cite biology. Instead, I validated that different wake-up times have existed in the past, and in fact still do. When does the garbage man, the builder, the mech

Not to mention, people like to work on things with meaning or value. Google cancels so many things, so much work and code tossed, and with entire projects, the point of entire projects axed, how can anyone there feel there's a point

I grew up in rural Canada, and we had busses. Some kids came in from 60+ miles away. I recall quite a bit about school, and yet no one really complained about getting up at 5 to 6am. Of course, most kids lived on farms, some even had chor

Imagine you, your mind, your brain -- decentralized. A horror, to be true! Instead of a cohesive sack of meat, you'd be spread thin, partial thoughts timed constrained by nodal distances, communication between regions lacking. The ji

The purpose of cloth/lower quality masks, is to reduce, not eliminate spread. When breathing in, air is drawn around the edges. Thus, if the virus is airborne around you, you'll breath it in. If you have the virus, and are exhal

Your cloth mask doesn't protect you from others. It protects others from you.

I bet they've noticed 'more time spent on the page' since they added interesting stories to those recipes! "When I was little, Grandma did this and that and blah blah blah". Of course, the time spent is cursing, an

While ocean pollution is a problem, a big one, the article above says '103 tonnes' of garbage was hauled up. And this, over 48 days, and a large section of sea?! That's literally nothing. How much garbage do you think a sma

I guess. I just envision a random scenario where a league of... overweight women, are all on the same flight. This seems to be in the UK, so what if an all female travel group, from the US, for the portly, showed up? When I visited the US

Yet the article also says it assigns a female adult, and a child a specific weight. Which means the weight is a ballpark anyhow. They aren't weighing anyone until totalled when on the plane. Would they blame overweight people, if a bu

I added more details while you were writing this I think. Your nerves don't care how heavy something is. Fine muscle control is just as intensive as anything to the nerves. Talking uses waaaay more nerve and muscle control than lifti

This seems sarcastic or wildly inaccurate. To clarify, two things. The brain does not directly drive the muscles. It does not have copper running to them, providing a charge. Instead, cell after cell transmits the signal, from brain to mus

I wonder. Large corps do gather intelligence on the competition. Even small ones do. For example, when a new pizza place opened in town, the one I worked for when in College, immediately ordered one to see what they were like, pricing, tas

Any government is 'engineering society'. Every time you craft a law, pass legislation, create a body to mandate and control things (FDA/FCC/FBI/EPA/whatever), you're engineering a change to society. I thi

Maybe. Not saying you're wrong entirely. But the Pii is, to me, a massive problem. If you have 10 social networks, all identical in feature and scope, and each has 1/10th of the users? And all have facebook style Pii, newsfeed
