I did air traffic control at Balad. At that time it was considered one of the most complex and busiest air-spaces in the world, paraphrased from the president of O'Hare. Obviously, we didn't see combat or deal with life altering e

I view smoking as a kind of break from life. It has a calming effect. Many people smoked during my deployments to Iraq for the same reason - it calms you and allows a simple break otherwise not found. I don't smoke as the smell gives m

I have only spent a week in NYC but this place was amazing, granted I am a jazz enthusiast so potentially biased. https://www.smallslive.com/

Twitter is useless. Nothing would occur to the US or world if Twitter would shut-down today.

Our mindset in society is that the wealthy survive and prosper. From my experience most wealthy people are terrible out of shape - probably would have a heart attack if asked to run a mile. While I don't live anywhere near these disast

Companies who use the term 'wokeness' will experience the wrath of people who no longer want to do business with them. People don't want to hear what CEOs or other private sector leadership political thoughts are such as we d

Everything you listed in why people support Trump over Clinton. They view the following: - erratic, abusive, and prone to fits of rage - a real threat to the safety of women, minorities, and immigrants - shows little respect for the Constit

Exactly this! I joined the military at 17 and turned 18 during the summer I graduated high school. I am now completing my PhD in mathematics and work as a data scientist for a small economic development firm.

These things do occur in real life. Granted I don't foresee a professor showing a beheading video in class. However, for the sake of discussion, if the class is about geopolitical theory/issues and the discussion is regarding how

A warning is never required. If you are unable to listen (or god forbid a disturbing image) to controversial issues that are literally occurring in real life you won't be able to handle the real world once college is over.

I learned to program on the job, I have masters in economic (econometrics focused, which I was hired), but I am not sure how someone can't make there way through FizzBuzz. I am sure mine wouldn't be the best code written, particul

No one is saying the experienced individuals cannot code. Based on OP's comment I am going to assume he/she is young based on my personal experience hearing these types of comments throughout my career. They stem from only knowing

Only in programming would this type of statement hold any merit. I was an air traffic controller for 10 years prior to becoming a data scientist. Experience is more than just being able to code (or do your specific job), it brings a wealth

I am southern (New Orleans, live in Idaho now) and love collard greens, but they are super cheap to make. Also, fried pork chops, catfish etc... southern/Cajun is hands down the best food in the world. Nothing is more hipster than payi

I read the article and made from plants and natural ingredients still requires a lab to get everything in the right state to get laboratory meat. Can you make this your kitchen with easily purchasable appliances? No. Lab produced meat. I ca

I suppose this discussion would depend upon our economic ideology differences. Yes, there are differences in ideology and we can each prove our ideology is right mathematically, which is why economics is the dismal science.

I can't tell if this serious or not, but central banks printing money is terrible and the root of the problem.

Do we really believe our body's are going to process 'fake meat' as 'real meat'? I am highly skeptical of that aspect as well. Moreover, we are removing a very natural element out of food (killing an animal for meat

There wasn't any Internet wit in there. The problem stems from current livestock farming practices. Fixing that problem is far easier than trying to create lab grown meat, and in the end will be healthier as it doesn't require a c

Why waste all this money and time designing something that is great the way it is? Give a cow some land, feed it some grass, wait a few months, kill the cow and now you have real beef. Nature intended it to be this way.

Star Trek provides the setting for an ideal military; we are currently far from an ideal military as the best and brightest leave due to a variety of reasons. Yes, weapons research is needed because you often encounter violent species but r

Your premise is based off of losing 100lbs. If I lost 100lbs I would be a 71" male weighing 80lbs. I eat natural food e.g., whole milk, real butter, fatty meats, lemonade, tea, roasted veggies, along with snacks like everybody else but

Shouting in the military particularly during boot camp is used to create a simulated stressful environment.

Did you not read what I wrote? The skill-set you need to succeed in the business world directly correlate with those in the sports. Homework assignments do not teach this.

Sports teach kids about teamwork, working together, and how hard work pays off. I have found more use from what I learned in sports than any homework assignment.

One area where this might not apply is on VA loans; which applied to me. Currently in PhD program and was able to buy a house with a significantly lower mortgage (22% cheaper per month) than renting. Which eases the pain for wife and childr
