I’ve been divorced so long I don’t really even consider myself divorced. I realized my part in the dissolution of my marriage was basically never saying no. Something in that realization clued me in to all kinds of social concepts and conse

As a cube it would sit on roughly half or an American football field. On an everybody-else-football pitch it would cover the whole thing about 32 m deep. It’s both a tremendous amount and also absolutely nothing depending on your point of r

I don’t think it’s quite so black-and-white although I agree roughly with where you draw the line. My car has tactile controls but they control a cursor on a non-touch screen. In this case touch screen controls would be superior because it

I’m experiencing the same thing with regard to memory. I’m not sure the cause. While I used to be able to recite full conversations, tell you the color of the trim of that car I was in one time nine months ago, and tell you the shape of the

Difficulty in making friends as one gets older isn’t actually a result of age, in my experience. I think as people get older they tend to be in fewer situations where friends are easily made. If you put an older person in, say, college, the

I’ve seen plenty of garbage properly disposed of find it’s way out of the litter bin. I’ve seen it when homeless go through the bins. I’ve seen it when the bins are being changed out and a careless worker spills a bit. I’ve seen the wind ta

I took notes on an iPad Pro for a semester in college. It worked well and there were some advantages. Infinitely expanding pages, moving notes around, pages only exist when they’re necessary, etc. But the thing that I missed most was the fe

Jibes with my experience. I have a projector in my bedroom for the rare times I want to watch TV in bed because it’s tucked away where I don’t see it. A TV staring me in the face makes it harder for me to sleep even if it is off.

Enforcement can change at any time and on a whim. If violations of this sort are infrequent, that combined with difficulty of enforcement may result in a lack of enforcement. If, suddenly, many people illegally entered the park this way, en

I did read the ordinance. You've suggested as long as people don't park there, they are fine. That's wrong and anyone who takes your advice could be looking at a misdemeanor. They are restricted to using the Bay-To-Foothills

I'm not so sure it is different. California has a unitary form of government. An incorporated city isn't a separate entity. It's a subdivision of the county which is a subdivision of the state. They're allowed to make lo

My campus switched to Canvas while I was a student there. Training was provided to the professors. Whether the school developed the training themselves or purchased it as part of a service, I can’t really say although I suspect the latter.

Where to draw the line is a legitimate question and without it the claim that any real headway is being made is dubious. Some companies offer bussing services in the Bay for their employees so they don’t have to drive as far. If they remove

A great white shark's liver is huge, heavy, and oily. I'm not sure an orca could physically even accomplish the task of separating out a human liver and if it did, it sure wouldn't be satisfying.

That's an incredibly weak claim. The statement is certainly true for some value of 'many', but then so is its opposite. Unless many means, "the vast majority", which certainly is not clear and definitely would need
