Why do you say this? The fundamental nature of carrying smartphones with us seems to me to be that we genuinely are able to explore and enjoy culture, shared experiences and knowledge in a completely new and powerful way. Of course, there a

English doesn't have any way of distinguishing between my wife's sister, my brother's wife, and my wife's brother's wife. They are all sisters-in-law. But these 3 relationships are very different for many people in

It's unclear whether you're claiming 1. the vanilla ice cream is sometimes kept in a separate chiller must nearer the entrance and this obviously made-up story is perfectly true , 2. at least some stores exist where the vanilla i

Lots and lots of gambling addicts die through suicide. Is there some reason this is less attributable to gambling as a cause than lung cancer is to smoking or drunk driving accidents are to alcohol?

None of the images in the tweet show either premium of $22k or 5,500 option contracts (eg options on 550,000 shares). What am I missing? The screenshots seem to show a total traded volume for yesterday of 260 contracts (26,000 shares), way

So you think Vanilla Inc, the company that only makes vanilla flavor ice cream, is paying for a whole chiller that they fill with vanilla, since all the other flavors are not as popular? Or perhaps, unbeknownst to everyone in the world who
