My dad frequently eats the last cookie in the box or last piece of cake. He then leaves the container there. It's slightly different than normal "last piece" cult, but really frustrating when you're looking forward to th

I'm curious what caused the cost of the new electronic system to increase so much. I understand there could be a lot to it on the back end to ensure privacy and anonymity of the data collected, but it doesn't seem like it should

It's not a question of whether either has the military power to overrun DPRK. Both could in a matter of hours a few days. A lot of it is economic. What happens to the ~24 million DPRK citizens who are very low skilled? Whatever cou

It's definitely easier with a large plot of land. Iowa is largely setup on a 1 mile by 1 mile grid of roads, making plots of 640 acres. I don't know if the grid of gravel roads is common or not. I've heard of John Deere being
