I have been locked up over 20 times in my life. Everytime I've been to jail, there are newbies in the holding cells that cry "I didn't do anything" and can't believe how horrible and mean all the CO's are. And

I've been personally involved in a 5-car 8 man police search of my vehicle where the initial officer illegally searched my car and found some cocaine residue on a mirror under the passenger seat. You would have thought I just robbed a

Osweiler QB from the Broncos just signed a huge deal with the Texans...$18mil/year but I haven't heard how much of that is guaranteed so I'm sure. A really big issue with NFL contracts is this "guaranteed money" thi

I think the OP perfectly reasons through your situation. Perhaps the real madness would be trying to change something that is obviously very important to some part of your soul.

This has been known since the Kinsey Reports (1948 and 1953) literally and figuratively blew the covers off bedroom shenanigans, so I am not sure what is new here to see. Of course, back then there was a predictable pushback by Evangelicals

I've lived that scenario, and the book was called heroin, so imagining it isn't really hard for me. In the end all life is is one choice after another, and making good ones over bad mostly leads to a happier life.

Are you kidding me? Almost all VCs aren't interested in "non-profit" and "welfare of general community." They want hockey-stick ROI and unicorns. I know this may be the wrong forum to say this, but let's get re

The poor get financially hosed in so many different ways in the US that singling out toilet paper , of all things, seems almost laughable. How about real killers, like payday loans, bank fees, and paying more for milk, eggs, and everything

These days I seem to like relating programming to music, so here I go again... I think virtuosic displays like this are important for the ego of the creators at times, and should be commended as it represents a deep understanding of the c

I remember being utterly turned off by LinkedIn when I saw two of my colleges a few years using a script to approve everyone's "skills" (or whatever they call it) everyday in order to be more popular or whatever. I thought if

You are wrong about that. WWI eventually defined total war, and no doubt its legacy was the primary reason France just surrendered to the Germans in 1941. The entire population had simply had enough. Hell, Sherman was fighting total war in

So true. Can you "teach" someone to be a world-class guitarist or songwriter? No you cannot...it takes a deep ambitious drive and 1000's of hours of self-study that are laced with frustration and the feeling that you are maki

I am almost embarrassed to fanboy-out on you, but Serum is utterly amazing, and I must admit I am happy to be telling its author this directly. I have never heard anything like in my 35 years of playing, writing, and producing music, and al

The US works well for many reasons...being united at the federal level is only one small part of it. Look of course I am aware of legal issues and all that, but doesn't make sense to enact such sweeping legislation as legalizing drugs

I've always thought that, in the US, that States could provide a perfect market testing platform for various social ideas. You don't want abortion? Make Kansas, say, a no abortion state. Legalized drugs? Head your head to Colorado

It won't last forever, that's for sure. The only reason we haven't seen real inflation yet is because the dollar is the reserve currency of the world and that other countries are in even worse shape, thus we have natural in

It would seem to me that Google's autonomous car insurance, which they must have bought from somewhere, would take care of this in pretty much the same way as other insured drivers are currently protected. It really shouldn't be v

The idea of open citizen voting directly on all issues terrifies me. I see democratic representation as a way to pay someone to read and understand all of the legal jargon most people won't take the time to bother with. Except they d
