>Whether it be movie stars, athletes, musicians, or CEOs of multibillion-dollar corporations who dropped out of school, popular media often tells the story of the determined individual who pursues their dreams and beats the odds. There i

This is really interesting. I like the sky flamingos. Very creative. Obviously silly, but you wish it was true. The way the white on the Wood Duck's head just happens to line up with some light coming through the trees. If he weren

I guess it just comes down to preparation then. A cell phone with maps downloaded is probably more convenient than a GPS with maps downloaded. I just don't think it's going to help much for the sort of situations that are being

I feel like we're bouncing between contexts here, so I'm going to try to organize my thoughts a bit. A proper GPS unit will give you a lat/long reading as well as additional information that can help you determine how accurat

I can't remember what class the one I've got is. PFD is the term. It's been a while since I've spent any kind of time on the water. It is intended to roll you onto your back and for situations where you're not goi

If you had the foresight to download maps for the area you got lost in, then it might help. The you still have everything that compromises the GPS signal. Proper GPS units indicate how many satellites are available and you can work out ho

I don't suggest trusting your cell phone GPS any farther than you can throw it once you're outside of town. They've gotten a lot better, but mine still went out a couple months ago on the back roads between two cities about

I did approximately no research on them when I was buying a life jacket recently. My thinking is that you're probably only going to need it to work once and at that point, you really, REALLY, need it to work. If they deploy with no i

They were talking about the tax dollars of remote workers going to the smaller towns. It's not exactly a program that needs to be set up. It didn't seem relevant to me in terms of the discussion, so I countered with an even small

So I know that pot plants is the term outside of the US for potted plants. Pot plant here means marijuana and I'm dying at the idea of Japanese apartments being covered, inside and out, with various strains of cannabis. I'd like

The appliance manufacturers blame energy-efficiency regulation for the massive drop-off in longevity. For myself, I'm 100% sure that they just saw an opportunity to cut quality and serviceability to nothing and blame regulations. It

I need to do some reading on that, but it seems superficially similar to the behavior of someone with borderline personality disorder. However, I think of borderline including becoming attached or infatuated with a new person abnormally qu

I don't think that's an unexpected consequence. That's the intention. Rope off the folks who won't vote for your party into one district and you get to win the rest of the districts. Or run the lines so that your oppo

There is no evidence for the idea that they descended directly from a semitic alphabet brought up from Carthage to northern Europe. There is no evidence for trade between Carthage and early people's in that area. You realize this and

There's no old evidence. You can go looking for connections, but don't try to tell me there was a reason to defend the theory to start with.

I did. I found a bunch of papers by him, none of them relevant. Another user's comment makes it seem like there are papers of his cited in his book. By the time I saw that though, I'd gotten tired of trying to find evidence that

This is super reminiscent to me of the arguments you see claiming Tamil is the oldest language. It's just not based on sound evidence or reasoning.

All I'm seeing on this subject by him is the book mentioned elsewhere in this thread where the summary claims close and sustained contact with the Carthaginians. The only supporting evidence I'm finding for that assertion is that

Neat! If anyone's looking to buy and dissuaded by the Amazon price, it looks like Abebooks has cheaper used copies.

So that's a guy claiming he and another person figured out that the derivation of some Proto-Germanic words came from a semitic language. No published paper, just conjecture. He claims that there are a number of loanwords in Proto-G

Quite the opinion piece largely devoid of citations. A two-year trend where people who had to move to the city are moving out is totally indicative of a fall into the abyss exactly like what happened when the auto industry pulled out of De

I'm fairly confident the majority of people didn't have a dedicated deep fat fryer at home at any point in history. Unless you're actually referring to the sort of deep pot used on the stove for frying. In that case, then a

Love it when someone just throws up the first study with their keyword in it. I get a potentially relevant study to parse through, which I feel is good for my brain probably. Then I get to cite chunks of their own reference right back at
