Nah, gore is gore, death exists, farm kids have been doing this for years. Kids deal very well with death as long as they understand the concept from an early age.

Surprise surprise, the cops are on a power trip again. You want to avoid this? Good luck. Your best bet is to move to the middle of nowhere where there are 4 police officers and they mainly care about joyriders. My young (5-10 y/o) in-

I'd take that chance, frankly. I don't assume afterlife or not, and either an afterlife or nothingness is better than a lifetime of unsolvable misery. I am not Zen, I don't think I'm able to become Zen.

It's suicide. If the only options before you are worse than death, then it becomes more appealing. I think I'd take death over a life sentence.

Damn. I used AmazonSmile to support my favorite extremist group. (Firearms Policy Coalition) I wonder if that had anything to do with it...

I have a Mr. Coffee machine with a timer. I got it new for $20 at Target. It makes coffee for me in the mornings. There's an appropriate level of complexity, and it's not a hard line. It's a balance between convenience and ab

Which is why physical controls are critical for anything you need to do fast. I recently switched from a classic Model S to a recent Model 3, and I think the 3 is about as button-light as I could go. The driver's controls are all man

My wife is a 28J in US sizes. Panache is your friend. Amazon Wardrobe will let you get up to 6 at a time and return whatever doesn't fit right. At least the situation is improving--she used to have to get custom only.

Pedantic reminder that the US is not a democracy, and representing it as one is missing the point of the US. We are a constitutional republic, because democratic decisions need reigning in.

I enjoy wine, but not to the level of detecting different ages or locations. I do, however, enjoy trying to find flavors in Whiskey, and I can attest that it's not all fake. The process and age makes a difference, and the age definitel

Because idiots sell their incredibly valuable inherited antiques, including exceptionally rare legal machine guns, which a) are not used in crime, as a rule, and b) are really cool.

Because interacting with smart people is enjoyable. I only comment here, and I really like the community around this site. Smart people (or just people who think they're smart) providing opinions is a good way to expand my horizons.

Fr. Seraphim Rose is what happens when a gifted academic gets the mysticism bug, and I'm grateful for it. He provides a great bridge between the logic-centered ideology of Western thought and the fuzzy edged, concept-driven thought of
