If you screen is small enough, your paddle ends up above the images. (I tried this with Firefox 20.0.1)

I think we're seeing just how huge a difference the genes for tasting make. A super taster vs a low taster will treat food (kind of a big deal if you want to stay alive) extremely differently. I wonder which was a better evolutionary adapta

On weekdays? Long job, long commute, children, sleep - yes, it is easy to have pretty much no free time for most of the week.

actual Americans Like Native Americans? But seriously, if you are a true libertarian and believe all humans are equal, why does it matter if someone is an actual American?

Well yes. Plenty because even one human is plenty. But plenty compared to how many people died in WWII? Or WWI? Or any real war we had before? Compared to what happened immediately before, the cold war was incredibly peaceful. So I suspect

This will continue to escalate until it ends up with people dying or both sides back down. Or everyone just keeps up this new internet war just like we kept the cold war going for decades, with no one being killed by it.

That's almost correct. What you describe is true for the relationship between CEOs and the board. Or execs and other execs, neither over, nor below them, in the management structure. Those are corporate peers. For those under your manag

I'd take the drink over the junk an average American eats any day. Me too. But just because junk food is worse, does not mean this is good. I for one would not take this over: Eat food, mostly plants, get exercise and lots of sleep.

Darkest Secret? More like an open secret. It has not yet affected me, as I am quite old enough yet. But I have seen in in large corporations. It's bad management, very sad, and would be almost impossible to prove in a law suit. It's also wh

This seems like a very long way to describe the very old advice of never being the first to say a number. There are better articles online, specific to salary negotiation and how to refuse to give a number without being a dick about it.

I do not believe this can be something which you could use to read by. Light takes a lot of energy and biology does not waste energy. And plants don't even have the metabolism of a fly. This is very neat. I'll probably donate enough to get

what could possibly go wrong with that? Yes, what? If you think about it like a SciFy movie, it is guaranteed to result in a gigantic, walking plant, smarter than a human, which wants to destroy us all. Also ghosts some how. If you actua

The problem is that lay people have essentially no ability to distinguish between potential 'last shots'. And exemptions will invite snake-oil salesmen. So because some people will be duped, let's doom everyone to death.

Or we are forced to act like adults. I know Germany has very strict driving laws. I think you can't use your horn for no good reason, can't give other drivers the finger, etc, or you'll be fined. And I think fines are proportional to the va

I don't always associate a track with color. But when I relax and close my eyes with headphones on, my mind does involuntarily paint a whole universe of colors and shapes inspired by the music. Well, Vivaldi's four seasons paints distinctly

I don't have synesthesia. But when I see some commercial brands take a common word and intentionally misspell it. That bothers me a lot. Apostrophe abuse especially. Not so much when it is a simple mistake of its or it's. I make that mistak

What I find interesting is that malaria gets less funding because the countries with malaria are so poor. And they are poor because of their governments are bad. And if a country with malaria suddenly started to grow quickly, it itself woul

I honestly believe that many decades from now, 20 to 50 years, at least one industrialized country will have something like a Basic income guarantee. It happened to Rome. When all of their work was done by slaves, the free Romans got bread
