You could say this for literally anything -- just buy a cheap one and it will be fine. Some people are willing to spend a little more money to get more comfort. I have two bikes, one is a silly city bike without gear shift, and with dodgy b

Switzerland, Norway, San Marino, Andorra, Liechtenstein, Iceland, and Monaco are in the list and are not EU. They could have written "to visit the Schengen area", but many americans don't know what that means.

Consciousness here means being in a conscious state, i.e. not sleeping, not fainted, not in an altered psychedelic state. It is clearly defined. Regrettably the word consciousness also refers to the "hard-problem of consciousness"

It is what the comic is saying, but the conclusion is different. The comic concludes that we should not attempt to escape by changing routine, but we must accept the routine and find ways to relax within it. The previous poster says that th

Because I think LaTeX is a syntactically outdated language that gets in the way of your thoughts, I would love a markup language that can be used for PDFs (articles, etc) instead of tex, but has 1) a markdown-based, lightweight syntax 2) a
