The article says that 60% of the DNA is made up of repeating sequences, but then goes on to say that the reason American cockroaches thrive in cities is due to their 150 scent receptors and 500 taste receptors. I'm don't see the

It's hard to run a profitable business. For some of these services the choice may be between exploiting workers or not brokering work. American culture seems to worship convenience at this time. With the current environment of low un

Lightning in theory would allow for fast & cheap transactions, so BTC could really be used for payments instead of the "asset" it has become. Has been discussed for years with nothing to show. I remain skeptical. But if it

Parents don't prescribe drugs, doctors do. No system is perfect but I trust doctors and parents to do a better job than politicians and social workers when it comes to deciding what's best for each unique child.

Our personalities can change dramatically as we age and yet we retain our sense of individuality. People struggle to be stonger and if medicine can help then it should. If it's not right for everyone, that's okay.

It's been free in Indiana for at least a decade. I was surprised to learn that friends in other states have to pay for what should be a right.

I can also relate to the awkwardness of asking someone to hang out one-on-one. It isn't necessarily borne out of sexual insecurity, but rather out of social awkwardness.

Weird, here in Indianapolis it can be rude not to say hello to neighbors & strangers and acknowledgment is about 100%. Still can't wait to leave though.

There will never be a post work economy. If machines drive down the cost of labor then perhaps we will see rising inequality, but lower labor costs would put some machines out of business. From what I've observed though technology ha

As I understand it, your original assumption was correct. The 20% only applies to distribution income, not to W-2 income. But the 20% deduction is limited to 50% of the W-2 income. So to maximize the deduction and minimize payroll taxes,
