Obviously it depends on the introvert, but any quiet, casual space where the focus isn't on socializing. So for me, some places that come to mind are a climbing gym with plenty of space for lounging, makers space, a bookstore with a c

Replika. Anyone here use it? As bad as this story is, I bet they'll get a bump in usage.

From earlier comments, it appears that a dishwasher will consume at least 2.5 gals per cycle. No way does hand washing use 5 to 7.5 gallons of water per wash. Being a single guy, I stopped using my dish washer for the several dishes I dirt

At least in America, with the massive increase in material and labor costs and greater building codes, a newly built home identical to an existing home will cost more than the market price of the existing home.

Is the price of a truss fairly linear or is there a length where the price starts to really accelerate? I'm considering building a 30'x60' pole barn with 18" or 24" eaves making the trusses 33' or 34' lon

The last time this was brought up I checked and saw about a handful accidental flags. Currently I have no accidental flagged posts.

I'm looking for someplace to call home. Each city hasn't fulfilled my dream (e.g. too hot, too congested, too boring, too expensive).

A big one for me is exiting one city and entering another (i.e. moving) especially when the new city is in another state. I've switched cities 7 times in the last 9 years and 6 states.

I'm an atheist but wouldn't mind seeing a religion based on Jesus' teachings flourish. I think most people are dumb and need something/someone to encourage them to act rationally and civilly. Not me, of course; I try m

If you think astrology is dumb, how about witchcraft? I started dating a woman and after a few dates she told me she was a member of a Wicca. I never had much luck with the ladies; I shrugged it off and continued with the relationship.

As an investor in robotics, I found this interesting: > Nick Pinchuk, CEO of Snap-on, another premium brand, said that in 2010 the company’s U.S. factories had a roughly 100-to-1 ratio of workers to robots. Today it’s 8 to 1, but the gra

The timber trees that were planted were local species. It is the monoculture that is the problem.

Lawns aren't the problem. I used to live within the Willamette National Forest in Oregon and there is no wildlife there. Sure, there's a few deer, bear, and birds, but no where near as much wildlife as I can find in my suburban

"We" haven't forgotten how to solve social problems. Not to get all political, but at least in the United States, there is tremendous pressure not to solve any problems. Our elites are content with the status quo.

Heh, I find self checkout more efficient. I use multiple bags when bagging and pre-sort items based on where they go in my kitchen. Plus most baggers are terrible at bagging and just resort to a massive number of bags which kinda ignores

Poor choice of title: the article doesn't fulfill the promise. It's hard to discuss this article because of this large discrepancy. Does anyone even want to be a know-it-all? While I'd like to be knowledgeable in more topic

My religious sister is anxious to move on to Heaven. She's not suicidal but at 60 tired/bored of her dull life. Since Heaven is the end goal she doesn't have much motivation in enhancing her life.

Not at all. My grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer in her 60's and eventually died of it. Near the end she was hoping to die.

Same here. Having seen what two of my grandparents went through before their eventual demise makes me want to avoid doing the same.

Version changes were significant back then and upgrades were very worthwhile. As one would hope, everything is far more stable now.

I was in this camp too until January. I have nearly 20k of fairly well tagged and curated mp3s. They consume 85Gb and easily fits on an SD card. While I'm mostly content with my collection, there are many gaps particularly from bands
