I have a cast iron skillet that was my great grandmothers. I imagine a small herd of cows has been cooked on it as well as a large flock of chickens / eggs. I have paid for and thrown away several cheaper skillets during my lifetime. Y

I would be interested in seeing the difference from small town US to big city US. Having been in both areas I have an opinion the results would be much different.

When I worked at Y! groups a couple times legal would ask us to remove images. I am about as insensitive as it gets but a few images of babies being molested will trigger some deep emotions. I cant imagine doing that day in and day out.

Yes and no, the 1st amendment says the govt does not have the power to infringe on your preexisting right to free speech. I am not sure where the govt thinks it can give corporations that power since the corporate entity is a fictitious per

Not really, the data miners link your CC to your email, WIFI cell MAC, Bluetooth MAC, Cell ID and many other data points. Think of it like a DNA string of datapoints about you online. Stored in a hash so it can be shared across platforms. I

Think construction... welders... carpenters... plumbers... guys who smash appendages and crawl around in mud. I know quite a few old ones and I know many many more who struggle with pain every day as they are my age and talk to me about it.

Primary cost of labor is your health. Those kind of jobs aren't done by people over 45. The human body degrades during that sort of work.

None of the issues you speak of are relevant to running linux on a laptop instead of windows. Linux has decent PM and I havent had glitchy issues with displays in years. The idea of nuking the linux environment gets easier when you run one

Sure. Hemp is a weed and was growing prolifically all over the US until the 1920's and 1930's, when it was outlawed. Free range cattle still is a big thing but was even larger then. Most of the beef in the nation consumed hemp, an

The entire endocannabanoid system in humans is interesting. If you think about it less than 100 years ago hemp and CBD oil was in our diet. Almost like we evolved with a system for it.
