Tax is not the answer. People are already paying the stupid tax on the $60k pickup truck (I laugh at your down votes), but that does not stop people from buying them. They know they are overpriced, maintenance costs are higher, environmenta

The local DQ sign says $16/hr all positions, so yeah I think they are.

Yeah, that ad is way to creepy. It needs a rainbow dildo monkey to bring it up to modern standards.

I would love to send my kids to school to get a philosophy/english lit/history degree and then let them get a masters in something job relevant, but this is not how kids from the working class get to spend their early/mid 20s

Checking in with a TI-30X Pro and get the equivalent (sqrt(6)-sqrt(2))/4 also in mathematical notation. All of my work is saved when I turn the calculator back on. Plus I can just set a flag for imaginary mode without a separate comple

Saying any calc problem is a stretch. Just pull up the MIT integration bee and see how many the 89 can get symbolic results for. I think the 89 is awesome for algebra because typing in an equation and doing an ans(1) with an operation will

I doubt this is the same thing, but in Jr High, I was complaining that my side hurt doing the mile run and the coach had me breathe through my nose instead of my mouth; sure enough the pain went away.

I spent a few hours playing with RISC OS on my pi 400, and it is a pretty complete system. The image download was less than 200MB.

Back in 2003 I was chatting with a Dutch guy who was ragging on the US because we hardly used SMS. I guess we will eventually catch up to what the rest of the world is using now as they move on to something more spectacular.

There is room in the world for all kinds of people. If you love going to work every day, do that. If you love making something great happen, do that. If you love backpacking around the world, do that. Only two rules: don't let anyone t

Back in the early/mid 80s (don't remember the year) the brook behind our house dried up. Unless that thing dries up again, I am calling bs on this 1200-year drought.

I completely agree with you, yet I design most of my schemas with integer keys anyway. The only thing I do different than most folks is that I make a unique constraint/index for candidate keys (the proper primary key) because otherwise

It isn't just police, people who feel like they are in authority have always used the lie to achieve specific outcomes. I have observed it often enough that I simply do not trust words from people in authority and I have to observe if

Don't think this is new either. Before we even had internet access at work people would ask me for help with excel or some other program and the first thing I would do would be to use built in help. Many folks just don't understan

Many of the people that sell drugs aren't concerned with what they make. The money is under the table so it does not interfere with other welfare assistance they get. Additionally, many of these people are not able to work for someone

If anything good can come of this, I hope some of the folks who trusted the science begins to realize that people are behind science and people often act in their own best interest. Not that it will change much but we can at least stop yell

I quit 20 years ago. I understand your analogy because if I were to smoke one, I would be an addict immediately (imagine sleeping with an old long-time ex). Where your story goes off the rails is that I am not addicted today; my desire is e

It is easy enough read the wikipedia entry on Objectivism and I could never do justice to the topic in a forum post so I will leave that for you to research. I do find it interesting that most people who agree with Rand are less like her th

I am pretty sure that we all agree that humans will never have a complete universal morality because we put so many things into the bucket of morality that could not be addressed by a universal morality. There are people who find it immoral

I know she is divisive, but Ayn Rand lays out a pretty good model for universal morality.

I was in 7th grade and a 9th grader did the same to me. I am happy to report that sometimes the bully regrets his decisions. For people wondering about police, this was around 1986 so no police got involved. Things did not work that way bac

I don't know what system you are referring to, but I am not aware of a system that requires evidence to exist before research begins. There was an observation that a lab researching a similar virus was in the vicinity of the outbreak;

It is not about economic systems, governments, or corporations. People are making choices that do not line up with the bigger things they say they want. Frankly I am getting tired of people with their SUVs, new phones, new computers, plasti

When we are not happy with a situation, it is easier to pack your shit and leave quietly than to make a stink about it. Many years ago, I was not happy with my bonus after an acquisition so instead of raising a stink I made my own bonus by
