I smoke cigars occasionally....I don't inhale any smoke. Before puffing I inhale a little air, close my throat, then pull the smoke into my mouth via suction on the cigar, then exhale to blow the smoke out of my mouth. The previous str

I don't think this logic is beneficial for humanity. If you take the worst parts of any organization or group and generalize it across the entire group, you end up with stereotypes, bias, and discrimination...the very things that led u

Righteousness lies in the eyes of the beholder. And often nowadays, the disconnect is in how much righteousness-attention is placed on specific topics in relation to others, dependent on what's in-vogue politically.

Looks like Gokada had investors in America, South Africa, and Dubai[1], did most of their motorcycle ride-hailing business in Nigeria, but Nigeria recently banned passenger motorcycles which was obviously a huge blow to the business. His in

Serious thought/question: I think everyone can agree that reproduction is how you advance your gene pool to the next stage of the human species. Does this mean people who don't want kids are effectively weeding themselves out? An

My long term prediction is that once the boomers start dying off in droves, we'll face a real estate crisis as their houses flood the market...and many less desirable neighborhoods throughout suburbia will turn into mini ghost towns.

Gotta wonder how this would have played out if they had an equivalent to the 2nd amendment. HK citizens found in possession of a gun without a license (very difficult to get) could be fined HKD$100,000 and imprisoned for up to 14 years[1].

I think people are putting too much emphasis on the financial costs, you figure it out as you go. I have a 1.5 year old and it's hard to explain the simple joys I get from just running around the house with him goofing off. It's n

Another less invasive option would be to see a chiropractor. I've watched videos claiming they help open nasal passages, but not sure if that's pseudoscience. I think surgery should always be the absolute last option.

Two hour naps will likely put you into a deep slow-wave REM sleep cycle. Waking up mid sleep cycle often leads to grogginess. If you cut your naps to 25 minutes or slightly less, you avoid deep REM sleep and should wake up feeling refreshed
