I have to ask what is troubling about the men's rights movement? Sure there are a lot of people hanging around there that don't get it, but the primary issues are important. It is particularly troubling to me that male rape vict

I believe the idea is that if I register "Bruiser's Cars", that name doesn't automatically become unavailable to others for hundreds of years. I need to prove that I am still using the trademark somehow. Unfortunately

Perhaps this is exactly what they want, leakers not being able to trust reporters.

Yeah, and he had his own TV spinoff! I have the DVD's, but i don't want to watch the entire series on the chance that I still won't be able to figure out the answer.

I lost my apple account to an attacker. Apple wouldn't let me have the account back, even though I still controlled the email address for the account. Reason was because I could not answer a custom security question I made up over 10

Call me paranoid, but my biggest concern is that things I do that are acceptable today may become illegal or persecution-worthy in the future. I recently read a story about a mother who was executed for her religious beliefs. The attacker

The why's always sound like excuses. If you don't want to hear excuses then don't ask why.

Thanks. I googled and found a page saying OTBS was different from K&R, which was pretty confusing!

Annoyingly, that article refers to the One True Brace Style but doesn't bother to define it or link to it!

Basically yes. It is a giant assumption with no actual science backing it up. Maybe there is some science that I am not aware of. So many evolutionary statements get a free pass in this regard. Someone says it, and now it is so. Where

1. How do I know they don't have ICBMs? Bill O'Reilly hasn't told me that yet. 2. Or, we don't have ICBM's yet. Hoping that part of the plan will work itself out. Step 1: Collect underpants ... Step 3: Profit! 2.

Fantastic point that cannot be understated. When thinking about this I assumed the authorities would run some quick sanity check and dismiss it. While that probably does happen, we often see cases where it has not worked that way.

I just realized I have forgotten how to add fractions! I don't think i've ever had to do this in the day job. I've been out of school for 10 years.

That line sounds nice, but I don't think it makes sense if you break it down. You are basically saying that discontent people reproduce more than content people. Is there any evidence of that?

I have been thinking of making an app to help me do regular journaling. The idea is that it iss quick and easy enough to do in one minute per day and that it would help me remember notable events in my life. This fills that niche really w

Are you guys on the beta client? It updates all the time. I didn't feel they were that often when I was on the mainline. IIRC both let you ignore the update, which solves keeps it from being annoying to me.

Steam effortless downloads, installs, and updates my games in the background. The Gog downloader doesn't even work on my computer. I guess it depends on what is important to you. I love both sites though :)

I got a strong impression from the article that he had no idea there were extra people there, or that there was even a critical situation. He wrote as though he was doing a mundane daily task, and said he was really surprised his boss was

Freaked me out a bit saying I was dead, I appear to be alive again, at least from checking with some random devices. I'm not sure if this describes you, but I can be pretty thin skinned on the internet, which often discourages me from

I'm going to apologize in advance for reading your post as "people who don't feel strongly against surveillance are racist bigots". I disagree. Most of us have not been affected by this personally. We are wrapped up in

The theme of all of this isn't just to signal. It's that putting yourself out there will cause you to bend and grow. Over and over I read testimonials of people with low confidence who decided to do something like this and found

It's a trick. The verbiage on the page strongly suggests you have to log in, but there is a little link or something to skip it. It has been a while since I bought through paypal, but I always skipped it because it was so much more o
