You're created a bogus thought experiment and tried to pretend it reflects what happens in the real world. A extrapolation fault common to many academics and startup owners.

I'm well over 19, there is good stuff here, in fact pretty much all of it is good advice. If I was to add to it I would replace (8), which is somewhat superficial, and suggest working on your people skills. People affect your life in every

I really like it. Sure there is scope for improvement (the graphics and typography) but there is enough here to make interested people pick up the phone or send you email. I'd put a carefully worded synopsis at the head to enable everyone t

It's just a codeword, as you are well aware. "Please add yourself to our unsolicited mailing list", would at least be honest.

You say that like you're proud of it. At some point as you get older, your idiosyncrasies will make you simply not worth having around, and then you be an easy person to unemploy.

So you are claiming ("when they do use them they do so to kill innocent foreigners, execution style") the UK police make a point of discharging firearms to kill innocent foreigners? Is this some kind of policy to cull them? Tourists are ann

Absolutely, icons are... iconic. The whole point is that we know what they mean, not they are a literal representation of the object or concept being designated.

The prudent approach to fad investments is to ignore them, instead find things which are overlooked in the fad, hence undervalued, and put your money in them. I'd be surprised if Buffet was doing anything much different. And, by definition,

Yes its played by the poor, yes the odds are riciculously low. These people don't 'expect' to win, instinctively they know the odds are low but it is the only chance they see themselves as having. The lottery is a tax on desperation.

My experience (in the UK) is that the time is dominated by people being slow to put their bags away, or putting bags away then blocking the aisle while they take off jackets or getting bags back out to extract a book. Also airlines tend to
