If you didn't notice the military recruiters in your US public school, I have to imagine you weren't paying attention. They posted up during lunch with tables and stuff where I was. Maybe they were just capitalizing on the 2008 re

The ideological games being pushed on children in state schools is different, but it's not entirely absent. That being said, I'll take historical revisionism over the history of the empire over, uh, the evangelical option.

Chinese Cooking Demystified is doing great work. Sometimes they seem like the only English language source talking about a specific thing.

I don't know if "robots.txt" appearing in congressional record really counts. Do any of the decision makers appear to have a command of what the file does? Or do they typically relegate to industry professionals, as they ofte

Can you provide some concrete information about this? It's less that I don't believe you and more that I would like to learn more.

What exactly is the issue with prisoners getting medical care?

I don't think it takes a special kind of person to not be comforted by the imaginary when facing an uncaring machine ready to devour them.

Weird, that seems to work for my partner. I wonder what's breaking for your wife.
