Anecdote: I saw an article about Native Americans, using a technique of quickly focusing from near to far and back as a means to increase their eyesight range, when I was around twelve years old. Called Eagle Eyes, or something. I have been

I agree with the hierarchy generally followed by emergency management systems - protect yourself first and your family, then your neighborhood, then if they are all safe help the wider community.

I agree. I find groups of people scary. Not in the anxiety manner. I mean that I don't know of a single instance of a person doing massive damage to anyone or any thing, when compared to damage by groups or by people with group backing

I do not agree. The best tool for the job is the one I am most comfortable using. If microsoft makes me uncomfortable (they remind me of an abusive spouse in their actions), then even if their software has some fancy features that may help

Is there a way to change the dates on the comments to the date they were recorded? It would be fun to see these as "comment made 240 years ago"

Because the upgrades add technical debt without removing many of the problems of the previous systems. My non-tech relatives all agree that windows 2000, vista, and 7 are all the same. Why make them move to something else the same? Security

I just read "Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor Frankl. The reference to the holocaust makes sense, if that book is fresh in your mind. I highly recommend it if anyone has not read it yet.

I am not sure mindfulness falls into 'positive psychology'. Accepting things for what they are, seems neutral to me.

What if that shop builds race cars and trophy trucks? Are you okay with the part being replaced being of higher quality and finish than the original? What about some advanced alloy that would not have been financially do-able for a manufact

Itunes is the worst. It can, without asking, delete the music from your device or your folders, reorganize your folders, rename your songs and reset their id3 tags. The mentality of "our users are stupid, just do everything for them&qu

I agree with your assertments about drinking and driving and the probabilities of harmful outcomes. I just don't think it is a good analogy for hardcore drug use. Many of us did not choose to start taking drugs. Not with any real sense
