Came here to say something similar. In this case, Tim from the blog post is a football defender or a linebacker if you're an American. Measuring them based on the amount of goals they scored or a touchdowns they caught is stupid. Inste

I personally view maths as just another language. It’s just a medium to transmit ideas from one person to another with the most efficient symbol set possible. It can’t be anything else - it doesn’t exist without some kind of intelligent lif

I agree there’s far too much single use plastic. For example, it baffles me why non perishable products are still sold in transparent plastic bags. If they go to the store they generally get taken out of the plastic bag and put on display.

Deer is pretty common because of hunting, especially in America and probably Scotland too. Any wild animal that is a problem is still eaten e.g kangaroo in Australia, boar in Hawaii.

I came close to purchasing a fold this year but I find the decision to have a camera bump absolutely bizarre. If they just added a few extra millimetres to the case it would then sit flat on the table rather than rocking about, which means

You can't get rid of money until you can vastly reduce envy, jealously and violence. The entire economic system is set up to balance the exchange of value of labour across industries with those of power dynamics/capability to wage

I recently experimented with nicotine tablets and noticed that they also had a similar laxative effect as caffeine at 3-4mg within the space of an hour.

I always look at the hands and neck when trying to guess age - it’s harder to hide the signs of age on those. Case in point have a look at these photos of Sofia Vergara who’s 51 years old, if you went off her face you might think she was in

Whether you consider someone your enemy or not doesn’t really matter if they turn out to actually be your enemy. If those people turn round and stab you in the back one day and leave you dead then their ideology has effectively won and

Interesting, I knew there was talks about piping energy from Morocco/Sahara to the UK but didn't know anything about projected costs or feasibility. Politics is the worst.
