"Particularly" is ill defined here -- as is "attraction." Some aspects of attraction will go away over time (most obviously looks), others vary from time to time. What matters is the ability to love the partner even when

"Attract" is not the same as compatible for long term relationships and especially marriage. Initial chemistry is important, but it fades after a honeymoon phase (which usually happens long before the real honeymoon.) There's

A caveat: one can experience wrist pain because one's watch is too worn too tightly, or in the the aftermath of a motorcycle accident, OR as the result of the carpal tunnel syndrome. Sometimes the most "obvious" diagnosis is

Perhaps a speaker of a continental Germanic tongue could chime in? As a native Russian speaker, but one who moved to the United States 20 years ago, I do find the Google translation of Russian to be really excellent, as well as vice-versa (

Out of curiosity, I decided to translate this Frisian (the closest continental language to English): http://bit.ly/2enwGyT It's interesting to contrast this with a side-by-side translation of "normal" English

For those who are more curious, I found that "The English and their History" talks in depth about the post-Conquest society and emergence of the written English language, and some of the more distinctive English (and later Anglo-A

For those itching to try, simh is capable of emulating a VAX and running OpenVMS (or NetBSD/vax) on them. One can also get a hobbyist license and media from HPE https://www.hpe.com/h41268/live/index_e.aspx?qid

Personal suggestions: 1) Dark roast coffee has less caffeine and is (in my subjective opinion) tastier. So if one wants the taste of coffee without less of the effects, consider an espresso or a Turkish coffee. The latter is just called &qu

While Scalia was an excellent writer (yet, not quite as clear as Richard Posner or Alex Kozinski), I think it's unfair to dismiss Thomas. Personally, I found his dissent in Gonzales v. Raich quite interesting and principled: https:&#x

That is only partially the case: yes, to some extent San Jose has a high homeless population for the same reason SF does (warm climate, access to transportation and social services, more lax enforcement of certain laws), but there are other

The purpose of information, however, is money. Which adds more data to this: if you're in early 1990s former USSR and you want to steal a great deal of money, there were far less brutal ways to do so... Here's how one fellow made

Ah, "racketeer" (written as "PAKETEP" in Cyrillics, iirc -- a borrowed word from English, but used to mean an individual extorting someone vs. organized extortion of a business) with a soldering iron or a clothes iron...

Agree with leaving the launch system to commercial partners (SpaceX, etc...), but why the need for further ion thruster research as a pre-requisite for a manned Mars mission? Wouldn't a chemical thruster and a Hohmann transfer suffice,

One could also argue that it's better to interpret "stay current" as being about "learn new frameworks", but rather "learn important concepts and their applications." One can write object oriented code (wi
