So not only do the batteries lose 2.3% capacity each year, and lose up to 40% of their range in cold weather, but now the power company wants to drain your car battery at night to power other people's homes. What a comedy of errors!

The whole industry of carbon sequestration is surreal. It's a completely useless technology except for proving to someone else that you've affected the inputs to an equation to some degree.

Combining both of these into one team is a terrible idea rotten to its core. This is because the pathway to excellence of one leads to mediocrity in the other. Sprint tickets require an internal orientation, focused work, and blocked-out ti

Who brought these ancient Greek ideas to Western Europe? Islam still grants inalienable rights to people that are almost lost in the West. For example: the inalienable right to privacy. Spying on people in their homes is strictly forbidden

Being bored is totally normal for kids and is not even a problem to be solved. Boredom activates their imagination and motivation. If they're never bored, they never have access to those things. My kids complain about being bored somet

I don't see it that way. Both of our approaches are based on education but in different formats. His approach may be valid for his kids. I'm just sharing what works for my family. From my perspective, children watch what you do mo

Science can illuminate things we didn't know before, but it can't negate thousands of experiences lived by real men. The one scientific study the author of this post links to is really not worth refuting. It just asked college stu

I liked it, but it sounds more like initiation into a cult than deprogramming from one. > You were born to parents who started your indoctrination from day one. Separation from one's own parents is a cult mind control tactic. >

I am skeptical that all of those people on Twitter are actually autistic and not just self-diagnosed. Despite having a clinical definition and a defined diagnostic process, autism has become sort of an identity that people celebrate and use

Thank you for sharing your thoughts despite me clearly having my feathers ruffled a bit. Do you mind sharing, if you were formally diagnosed with autism? And did you have any developmental delays as a child? If so, how did your parents deal

Excuse me if that wasn't clear. It's insulting that the paper suggests that the epidemic is not real.

> (3) Autism epidemic. How breathtakingly insulting to the 100,000s of parents and caregivers of autistic children over the past 30 years, who have sacrificed 1,000s of hours, $MM of lost revenue, their own health, their own goals, and e
