This is great. Thank you so much! I was curious if you had any advise on figuring out per project rates? I'm pretty new at making Wordpress sites but I make nice, handsome, responsive and very usable sites. People I have made sites for

Just last night I watched a really, really great documentary on crow intelligence called "A Murder of Crows". I highly, highly recommend it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s472GjbLKQ4

This map reminds me just how split the state I live in, Washington, is. Living in Seattle it's hard to imagine we come in at the second highest category.

Yeah. That's interesting. I guess their ancestors shouldn't've formed empires. I imagine it'd be sort of hard to keep a racially separated empire.

Yeah, I agree with this. On the internet it's so easy to get sucked into an echo chamber and completely cloister oneself in some belief system or another. Then every other perspective is the foolish mainstream media who are only there

I find it really interesting that at a micro level on forums like this there is the same goodness and kindness to one another. People doing each other favors, people encouraging one another, etc. I mean, I guess it makes sense. People are e

This is not without precedent: February 3 [1849]: The Raleigh Register runs an advertisement for women to go to the Gold Rush and get a rich husband, titled "A Chance FOR A LADY." Other efforts to encourage women to go to Californ

Seriously. I just spent a good deal of time roaming around Churchill on Google Street View and it seems utterly desolate. Wikipedia says there are 813 people. One of them's blowing this app up. Probably not so private for that person.

I'm still running my T-Mobile G2 (HTC Desire) which I got in 2010. It's starting to get a little old and act a little odd sometimes but I hope to keep it for a year or two more.

What's really interesting to me is that it seems like some very, very powerful and well-connected player, who either has access to the communication networks or people at the top of the Turkish totem pole is trying to use social media

Why is the lady in the video on this page reporting this from Russia even though she said they got the docs from Snowden before he went to Russia? Are ALL their pundits in Russia for the Olympics?

I'd be really interested in scientific information about this. I have been practicing Qigong for a little more than a year and a half and I can absolutely say that it is the best thing that has ever happened to me. It feels like it&#x2

I may be mistaken or we may be both using different myths to justify our food based belief systems but I was under the assumption that at least the larger pre-Columbian societies were done in by European diseases. At least some pre-Columbia

This will lead to a blossoming of linguistic creativity. People are going to grow a new sexual slang that evolves arms race pace in order to get around this. If this happens a person will need to be able to trace the evolution of the slang&

I think "The Kingdom of God is Within You" by Tolstoy was the most life changing book I read this year. It made me start thinking about the idea of sin, which I haven't given much thought about before since I was not raised a

I was given anti-depressants and ADD medication when I was in college. I went to a cognitive psychologist who gave me a barrage of tests and told me I was off the charts ADD and had really bad anxiety and depression. I was definitely anxiou

Entrapment seems to be a common tactic. The details of most of the arrests of would-be terrorists that they catch in the US are clear cases of entrapment. The FBI/NYPD/some paid informant finds some antisocial/inept guy who&#
