Goat be-headings are an issue in New Orleans now as well (it's also frat related): http://www.nola.com/pets/index.ssf/2015/03/report_of_goat_bo...

When you say cubicles "would be a living hell"...do you mean to pay for/set up or are you speaking to the actual cubicle work experience?

Yeah sadly, it's the latter. Arbitrary numbers but if your cops are 50% corrupt and you suddenly have twice as many total cops you still then double the number of non-corrupt cops. Obviously that's wasteful but... Fixing deep-rou

I take your point but in fairness OP is definitely correct regarding a corrupt Nola police force. Definitely not a simple issue.

Sadly yes so it's sortof a damned if you do damned if you don't scenario. Just lately we've had serious issues recruiting police (largely due to antiquated policies like 'no visible tattoos' or 'they must live

I'm sure they have issues of their own, but I believe Japan has a uniform cap on what politicians can spend on election campaigns. Just one possible solution.

Unless something's changed Huntsville, Al was always a fairly high-tech southern city.

Maybe I'm wrong but I interpreted the logic there as: Having kids is definitely an enormous time-sink but that is a choice. Without basic income having a job essentially is not.

This kinda goes against a popular theory that Microsoft mine JetBrains for Visual Studio functionality improvement ideas (or more likely the blog author just doesn't work on VS or w/ the VS dev team all that much) Awesome read btw

very true and every site is different w/ regard to how the community responds/handles link discussion but it does seem that sometimes discussion doesn't seem to be "a thing" for certain links. It sorta reminds me of

This "very popular but seemingly not discussable" submission phenomenon is something that also fascinates me. Is there a clever name for this phenomenon yet? If not...anybody want to attempt to give it one? 'Cause I got not

Not necessarily disagreeing with you, but doesn't everyone (or at least the solid majority) keep their cells in their pockets? Close to er..."important" parts of your body? Sleeping 8 or more hours next to it is just going t

Lived in the south my entire life (currently in Nola). There's definitely an I don't know...afterglow effect? with this stereotype at play in the south today. It certainly used to be highly isolated culture with it's own we

William Gibson did the same thing in Neuromancer. He even had a sentence in there where "it" reached out into the ethos until it found another presence on a peer level with itself in Alpha Centauri I believe. Need to reread that

Seems like an opportunity for an app (disclaimer: obviously did not do my due diligence and google if there was one first. T minus X seconds in counting until the first 'there already is one' post).
