Power-boating was going to be my new expensive hobby, but I couldn't get over the noise and horrible pollution, not to mention direct (usually inadvertent) leaks of fuel and oil into the lake. So after training and getting my license,

If they really want me to believe it was because of minimum wage, they should share their business balance sheet and income statement. Restaurants close down every day. Prices of food, insurance, real estate, taxes, etc are always changi

This may be a narrative that found agreeable statistics as there is no mention of abortion. It seems self evident that abortions reduce the number of children born into low income, high risk environments and those with birth defects. Th

Yes, but this is actually an opportunity for Huawei. If I was them, I would take these findings and hire a team of hackers/sec researches to rip their products apart, fix the issues and then put then up for independent comparison with

Soon we will accept that a neuron is a processor with memory, not a switch and that synapses aren't a simple connection, but a bus. Also, that we have barely scratched the surface on how brains and every individual cell process &

All I know was that I kept going back to smoking, even after quitting for a few years. I used e-cigs for 2 years, quit them 3 years ago and I have no interest in either anymore. As far as I am concerned, they are an essential tool to help

Not so exceptional, the centriole is essentially the eye and brain of a cell. If cells are able to leverage quantum mechanics like our retina, chlorophyll, bird magnetoreception, and olfaction, then why not for memory or computation? Esse
