Don't include beans on that list! They are the easiest of all to produce, as long as your summer isn't too terribly cold. Maybe you were thinking of corn?

"If the future is infinite, then almost surely it will happen eventually." Yes, you've caught on to this notion, and that's really the best we can ever do in our present state. Funny how we imagine our little 3 pound mas

What is not widely recognized is that the other non muscle meat parts of the animal are even more valuable, in health and taste. Think of the organ meats, think of the bone cartilage for making broth, the marrow. Think about how much more d

Yeah, the horn usually gets to them, when you can see them up ahead, but one should always brake first. I used to hear 'Never swerve, use the brake instead!', and I couldn't imagine anyone with any driving experience thinking

I think you're referring to the massive grill guards on the front of many pickups. Are you saying "no reason other than aesthetic preferences" because you feel like it? Deer at night are a major hazard in much of the land. I

'Tell me about yourself' is horrible advice for a real adult conversation. 'What do you do' is also bad. People prefer reflecting on what they like, how they feel, and what they want to do. No one wants to start defining

The "wrong" (less than optimal) abstraction might be better as long as it's rigorously documented, which is rare, of course. In the right hands, it can be an important stepping stone to a better abstraction. I'm dreaming

I'm surprised that the Bates method alternatives haven't been mentioned yet. I picked up a book called "Better Vision Now" several years ago and started practicing what looked like the more practical exercises in the boo

Couldn't it be as simple as as a selection of ample seed production over ample nitrogen availability in an environment where adequate sunlight was more often a limiting factor than adequate nitrogen. It takes significant energy to prod

Soon, enough people on Facebook will have climbed Everest, yachted with billionaires, and partied with the most fashionable pop stars, that nothing on the internet will be believeable. Elaborate and unique photo/video narratives will b

That's also in his book "The Tao is Silent". I picked this book off the library shelf at random, so many years ago, and couldn't stop reading the lovely, approachable writing. He helped me think through and finally rid m

Incidentally, Daniel was my very first CS instructor about 20 years ago, when he taught my Intro to CS class at UT San Antonio. It was the vi editor and K&R book C programming on some ancient green monochrome terminals back then. I reme

I believe it came loaded with Windows XP and I had a dual boot situation for the first few years. Now it's only Arch Linux with Openbox WM. Lightly peppered with pixel defects now, but it's hardly noticable. It came with 512 MB of

I'm still on the same Sony Vaio that I got 13 years ago. I bought the best I could afford back then (more than 2K USD) and it has held up nicely. Fell in love with the keypad. The screen is 4:3, which is nice. Had to replace the HD and

Oral sex advantage. Also as a general pleasure appendage. When your hands, elbows, mouth, and even chest are all usefully employed simultaneously, the chin may be the only thing you have left to use. Drag the chin up and down the legs or ch

Having moderately mild myopia, I stopped wearing glasses/lenses except for driving, and my vision steadily improved over the weeks and months. To make a long story short, I've concluded that glasses are a nasty crutch for most peo

Hope they will be able to do lab grown liver as well as bones with all the cartilage and marrow included. Many people consider these more important to health than the meat. Better yet, more people need to be educated on what it means to pro

I'm guessing that it's not unlike why we don't leave food out when camping in bear country. If the bear realized what we were doing (hiding food from it), then it would surely come to the bear conclusion that our behavior was unreasonable,

Facebook is the best thing that's ever happened to me. The people from my past that I really don't want to converse with are likely tied up in their simple little Facebook world by now. Let them wonder why I'm not on Facebook. Problem solve
