These kids know exactly what they're doing, and they shouldn't be absolved because they're young or "boys will be boys". Frankly punishment should be directed at the minors involved and their parents. If I'm a

In the US many police departments and personnel are under-trained, but no, "the most responsible party" are the human beings doing the swatting, regardless of their age. So if I'm young and "stupid" I can go around

I like all print books, but especially used ones for their texture, smell, and other intangible factors like holding a piece of history. Whenever I travel I make it a point to also stop by a used bookstore to pick something up. I try to avo

At the same time, I'd rather they didn't do that. I'm not familiar with the details of this topic -- Are actions by locals significant-enough/at a large enough scale to yield these results? I'm thinking of Native

Also, top school names only matter when starting your career... At some point you have to produce in your career. I agree with this 100%. But, your school name influences your first job, and your early career is what usually, obviously no

What you actually do in your job matters a lot. If you're actually good, you get picked up by better firms... Also, for grad school, the top 10 don't matter as much This depends on the industry. I have plenty of tech friends who

When I was at Stevens everyone piled into CompEng and EE, kind of looking down on ME (and CS actually). To this day my ME friends are some of the smartest, coolest people I know.

I think we all have personal preferences; for example: If I watched a movie and gave it a thumbs down, don't recommend it I sometimes click thumbs down by accident, or upon rewatching change my opinion. If I watched a movie < 1 m

not drinking at all is the healthiest option I don't drink, mostly due to not liking the taste. But I thought wine and whisky had something in there that is good for you / antioxidant?

Is there no oversight at all? Amazon has now become the Alibaba of the west and it makes me sick to think the once beloved marketplace is now just scamville. This. Most of the time now when I buy from Amazon it feels like buying from a ga
