If I could go with a flip phone I gladly would, but I do need to have Slack around for when I'm on call for work. I suppose I could switch to a flip phone for when I'm off call. You're giving me ideas here.

The Moscow subway is quite beautiful as well. My grandparents were shocked when I took them into the NY subway for the first time. I guess they were expecting something like this: https://www.google.com/search?q=moscow+subwa

I just think that there needs to be significantly more caution - almost a pathologically high amount of caution. Think of it from a software engineering perspective. All the unit tests that are done to ensure 100% code coverage, all the tes

It's an excellent example that shows the difference between Trump's marketing slogans of 'fighting the deep state', and the clear and apparent reality.

I've heard that one of the reasons that ancient paintings kept their colors for so long is because they got them from grinding up the stones like Lapis. Not sure how they make the modern colors but apparently they fade a lot faster. So

I guess the differentiating factor is the instant availability. You can go to a library pick out one book, and unless it's exceptional you'll only be able to read it for some amount of time before you feel like you need to do some

I've never found myself unable to stop reading a book even when I knew I should be doing something else. Like now. I should be getting some sleep but instead I'm reading/commenting about screen time. I think, mobile devices e

It's just what I've heard from people who've worked there and others who've had friends come back from prison. The consensus was about the same, but you're right, I personally don't know what prison is like.

I'm not sure in regards to the type of facility that the guards I spoke to worked at. One was definitely a jail, so this was pre-conviction, don't know the security level. Essentially, it's an unspoken agreement between the g

From what I understand, the 3rd/4th gen Supras were such a draw because of the engine. It was an I6 which meant that it could withstand higher RPMs more easily than a V6 (all cylinders moving along the same axis) and it was a cast iron

That may seem like a feasible way forward but you can look at what happened when France took a step in this direction. Theyve since stepped all the way back and the protests are still ongoing. And rightly so. The reason it's unfair is

I suppose it could be a difference in personality types or maybe I'm just not there yet. I can only do the whole live-in-the-moment thing for so long before I start getting this nagging feeling like I should be working on something. An

In my experience, life has become more fun and carefree since I've become an adult, not vice versa. It's ironic, as youd expect adult life to be laden with more responsibity and "seriousness" but the truth is that work i

I think a lot of the parts in that book that seemed to be all over the place would have later come together into something more cohesive by the end of the second book. It was supposed to be the first part of two books but he died before he

I would say that it's less about some kind of absolute truths about existence, which are often things that we have long heard about (be kind to your neighbor, etc) but rather more about the characters and the experiences that they go t

Do these necessarily have to be exclusive? The CIA is known to have made organized attempts to influence the media in the past. Virtually every government does this, it seems implausible to me that we (the US) would be the only ones with &#

Right, I should have been more specific, you definitely wouldn't want to stay inside if there is a fire outside in hopes that it will insulate you, the containers are definitely not air tight. What I meant is that the interior of the h

It's interesting that you bring up this point because these are all aspects that would have to be taken into consideration before autonomous highway driving is safe for trucks, tire blowouts aside. Most people think of driving on a hig

There is also the situation of a truck breaking down and needing repairs, which can happen relatively frequently, given the amount of miles it runs daily. Separately, how would a truck handle running out of gas if it spends too much time s

Believe it or not, even with the ACA, not everyone can afford it. $150 a month is too much if you're making 15K a year, or around that number + you have children. If I was still in that income bracket when the ACA came out I would have
