Using the method the article describes, you still have to turn your head to check beside you but you don't have to turn it so far as to look over your shoulder. The method in the article doesn't eliminate the blind spot, just puts

If physical waste is not a real issue, why do I see garbage on the ground? Why is there tons of plastic in our oceans? I think there's more to the issue of physical waste than whether or not we can dig a hole big enough for it all.

It seems like you might be saying that if a union can't satisfy every member of the profession it represents then it shouldn't exist. I don't agree. I feel like if you run a union that represents a profession of which the ove

I wonder how often the more serious crime wouldn't have been charged had the drugs not let to it? For example, carrying a firearm isn't necessarily illegal, but carrying a firearm and weed in a place where weed is illegal is most

Which is frustrating since GoPro has solved this problem already. They use a single USB-C connector for both charging and audio input with a single dongle.

If there are churches near you why not drive by one or two any random Sunday morning around 10:30 or 11:00. Do it a few weekends in a row and see if your impression changes.
