I was opposed to removing Confederate statues. I felt they should be left in place but the plaques should be replaced to merely mention their birth and death dates and that they had committed treason against the United States but were forgi

Not much interested in arbitrary size limits. Far more interested in the content/size ratio. Especially if given the option to see more and weightier stuff if interested. My favorite example, that I use daily, is: https://te

My mind is very good at remembering but it's not particularly quick on the uptake. It may take minutes, hours or days but eventually there will be a "ka-ching" sound and a card will appear in the slot with the desired answer.

The earth has been a long series of disaster movies. Massive extinctions after massive extinctions. Why do you think we as a species should be exempt? Are we that special?

No, because wherever you went 70k years ago there would be an atmosphere you could breath, H2O to drink and things you could eat. And wherever you landed you would still be shielded from solar radiation and enjoy 1G gravity...

Down votes? Really? Space is perfectly analogous to the ocean. We can put on a mask, fins and a SCUBA and swim about effortlessly. But do we "live" in the ocean? No, we only temporarily "survive" there due to technology.

Humans will not "live" anywhere in the solar system other than on the earth where we evolved. We may "survive" temporarily elsewhere, like on the ISS, but we will never "live" there. Earth is our only abode...

I have been playing NetHack[1] on and off for three decades now. It is a self-described rogue-like and no one owns or controls that moniker. It is still open source and being actively developed[2]. The current TNNT[3] competition is active

I can offer only firsthand anecdotal experiences from the late 60's and early 70's. Most psycho-active recreational substances, while fun in the near term, left you afterwards feeling like you'd been run over by a truck and y

I have actually watched this rite on my front porch between two jumping spiders. The large female was aggressive but a tad slow. The much smaller male rapidly circled her (counter-clockwise?) for minutes like a stopwatch. Occasionally he wo

Ten years ago Google sent me a Cr-48[1] and I spent two years as a beta tester. I always assumed it was to be some sort of web terminal, but beefier than a netbook. I am stunned how far it has progressed (he writes on his Chromebook)... [1]

Somewhat along the same line, I expect a resurgence of outdoor beer gardens. Every super-spreader event to-date included a crowd, indoors, with poor ventilation and few if any masks in evidence. That is pretty much the definition of any sta
