Awesome game. But I would suggest renaming it "16". That way I can feel better about performance.

"Social preferences may skew the genetic balance of the human species..." Ya, so what's new? (well, besides speed and scale but those are not referenced.)

I dunno. There's a balance. Kindness in some situations just isn't the right thing. But it certainly is in most situations.

He was killed by a mob, but not by a mob of seceders from his church. (Incidentally, he had a pistol and killed a few of the mob members before going down.)

Containing China (as if this will work:) does no good for me if I'm simply handed over to corporate masters who have control over my government and I have no say. Thus the secrecy I suppose.

Maybe because it's harder for cattle ranchers to actually protect their property. It's not like cows are locked up and alarmed like televisions in a store. Possibly the extra penalty is supposed to act as extra deterrent where enf

I've built a couple of smokers out of cardboard boxes and they were fantastic. I got a large box (like refrigerator might come in), cut the bottom out and cut a door leaving one side for the hinge. I then used a pencil to poke some hol

Practice smiling in the mirror. Sounds silly, but it helps. I have found that facial expression is one of the main factors people use to initially judge whether to approach or avoid. Go to the mall or a club. Watch other "more social&q

The title is "where the poor live dearly" but then the article goes on to talk exclusively about perceived racial injustice. Maybe the author didn't spend enough time in the US to see there are vast swaths of the country full

Like many things, I suspect many people are against the idea of GMO food _in principal_. In practice, most of the people who are against in principal will have no problem eating a Twinkie that has GMO wheat in it so long as everyone else is

Hilarious... I grew up on a large agriculture operation miles from town. I hated it. My friends all got to do cool stuff like skateboard and go to the mall. I had to have a milk cow instead. I couldn't wait to grow up and get away and

Good manners, a soft tone and respect for other people is what most police officers are sorely missing. A hostile attitude often escalates situations which could have been completely prevented or resolved differently. Unsurprisingly, treati

A double hamburger with the little wafer thin burgers isn't lunch. That's more like a bite sized snack. It was a double quarter pounder and was over $5 alone. The medium shake was another 2.50+ and with tax it was well over $8.00.

There is ample genetic evidence of the Eastern European origin of the Indo-European peoples (as well as archeological, historical and linguistic evidence). This is why it is still by far the most accepted theory in academia and it makes th

It's certainly possible. I believe the Eastern European/Central Asian origin and dispersal of the Indo/European peoples has more evidence and is much more likely though.... nationalistic feelings and propaganda aside.

A few criminal prosecutions for abuse of office and forfeiture of pensions would do even more. But you are right. Many government bureaucrats feel completely unaccountable to the populace, and this needs to change.

I lived in a grape cooler on a grape farm for several months once (in the non-cooled part). It had a bathroom but no shower. I made one out back on a cement slab with a hose, a garden water wand and a tarp.
