I don't think it's about gloating at all. I think it's more about showing something but with a warning of how much went into it so those that judge can have some context. I also think there certainly is a bit of pride involved, but it's com

I agree. One thing that came to mind is that if we take a pure scientific view then humans are 99% like apes, and apes are reasonably intelligent and can learn. Are we to believe we can extrapolate and say that environment has more to do wi

Sometimes I may not the have time to review something, and just want a quick click to see if it catches my interest. I think having a clickable link helps with click through.

I totally agree. I was trying to discern whether or not the author of the original post on jsomers.net was on to something, but it's more a case (it turns out) of a solution looking for a problem. Using the phrase "it turns out" isn't an in

I completely agree with this. As the article mentions with shoestring resources it's helpful to make "bang for the buck" choices. For any given successful product, there will be a few things that really resonate with or significantly help t

Very true. Martial arts have different beneficial aspects, but if your only concern is winning street fights, from my understanding all you really have to do is become an accomplished boxer and wrestler.
