Oddly, when loaded Google News this afternoon and clicked on "Local News" it showed me news for New York. I live in SW Missouri. I'm using Firefox with FB Container and Privacy Badger on a Mac mini (Late 2009).

There are most certainly folks that come here with the sole intent to down vote what they find here. My suggestion is to keep that in mind. And it doesn't feel like a leap to surmise that a small percent of users here may account for a

It's too bad this got buried because this is very interesting. The one thing I don't get is they talked about changes in the brain after using the device and how that needs to be looked into but they didn't mention in the art

Well, I can tell you for sure that all people are not equal when it comes to safely operating a vehicle. If they were all safer than me I'd probably be good with that. If they were as safe as the average driver I'd be very scared

It is just plain old stupid to continue to allow this tech on the road. Truth is we will never have safe self driving cars until we have "Smart Roads" that inform the cars of what's happening on the road around them and car t

The best advice I can offer is to stop thinking of learning you made a mistake as an attack on you personally and start thinking of it as an opportunity to learn. Here's a true story to demonstrate that... Years ago when I was young an

That's a pretty interesting take on the subject for me. I've never used Twitter much myself. Not quite, but pretty close to not at all. I love a good quip but that's not something I'd spend a lot of time looking for or w

Have you had shiitakes? I love portabellos too but shiitakes are just amazing. I have to think they'd made an awesome vegan burger. Just the thought makes me want to try that.

There may not be any strong correlation but I think it's always best to look at things like these with the intent to learn what you can as opposed to looking for flaws. Now, that doesn't mean you dismiss what flaws you find, just

Well I can still probably learn a lot from it. Truth is if you're an app maker it's a pretty deep dive into just setting up an email server and getting them de-blacklisted. It's easier than it was 10 years ago but it's s

Great timing for me. I've spent the past week setting up a new "Mail-in-a-Box" email server after procrastinating past the point of upgrading my old one. I'd much rather not run my own email server but after 20 years of

I dunno... I run my own email server and it feels to me like the giant gap in the ease of getting your own email server (or services) up and running that you can connect to a web app still hasn't closed much here, especially for me bec

Alright.. I'll address those points head on by adding detail to the reasoning behind my hypothesis. 1) Everyone of the sites I've been to with a grand structure had many lessor structures around the main pyramid. I think it's

You have no good idea about where and how Mayans grew their crops and the notion that those structures were built far away from where they grew and harvested food nothing more than a notion. The Mayans that live there confirmed my assumptio

I did not "confront" them. I mentioned that some of their artifacts (art) looked very similar to those I'd seen at Mayan sites and they recited a scripted response. When I rephrased my question they recited the script again.

The key words for me in all you wrote are "from what we know". What I know is that the Mayans who still live there say our archaeologists here tend to ignore them. Two Mayan Park Rangers told me that while I was standing on top of

I said I've visited several sites in the Yucatan including the museum in Merida where they have a huge number of artifacts. So, it's safe to assume most all of what I saw there was Mayan. It's very possible that some of what
