   The Palm Pre looked very interesting. I wanted one. Unfortunately, it didn't have the panache that Apple's products have.

   If you're going to plug a site that works well, you should link to the site, I guess. I want to see it... maybe.

   YouTube started as a place for anyone to post videos. But it quickly became a place for people to build a business posting videos. The algorithm makes it hard to find the videos without the cruft but I imagine they are uploaded by the milli

   This does happen. But are you sure those are “real” followers? There are services you can pay to give you followers.

   It's not just in tech. You hear responses from younger generations like "Ok Boomer" to their elders' opinions and it is so cringe-worthy. I don't think everything my parents taught me was perfect or even always corr

   I'm guessing poor kids usually don't have jobs at all. Only about 40% of poor people 18-64 even have jobs.

    Consider that he tailored his message for the recipient, as most anyone would do. Imagine if you had spent years (maybe you have, I don't know you) building an app and a business for a platform you love only to have it snatched away. W

    They don't mention the 1947 Texas City fertilizer and oil explosion on that graphic. Maybe because it was a series of explosions? It was really big though. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2H_ZNzTrCM

    I have a choice: $80/mo for Local ISP DSL - 10 Mbps down, <1 up OR $100/mo for LTE hot spot for $100+/mo. 25 MBps down, 5Mbps up with data caps and throttling. The local ISP says they're installing fiber but they&#x27

    You have a valid point. One's own government is almost always more of a threat that another country's government. But I think it's possible you aren't thinking of all the contingencies that are created by a foreign gover

    Only two on the list of 101 products were listed as sub-potent. You can search for methanol or sub-potent and see the categories.

    Bill Withers was not afraid to try something unique with his singing. The "I know, I know, I know..." in "Ain't No Sunshine" and in "Lovely Day" he stretches out the "lovely daaaaay" to the poin

    Yeah, sorry. I should been more clear with my tone. I don't think it's bad for the local business to know who you are. I can see why it sounded that way.

    Studies like this boil down a hugely complex issue into variables they can control for. There are a lot more theories as to why people stay poor than the two they offer at the beginning. Why don't we study all of the people who have de

    I could say it about Macroeconomics and English 102 but only because I had awesome teachers. I can say that one of my Calculus classes and my other English classes made me want to quit school. The teachers were horrible; either arrogant and
