I enjoy the non-technical topics as much as the next person. But the quality of commentary degrades quickly. We all know there are lots of smart people on this forum. But, I’m not certain that many of these users realize how confidently

Do you mean inedible as in indigestible, will make you sick, or taste awful? Do you mean viable as in produces any fruit, produces edible fruit, or produces enjoyable fruit. I'm familiar with crab apples. But I'm curious in what

I understand they won't taste the same, but is the resulting fruit likely to be bitter? Sour? Tasteless and waxy? There probably aren't many accounts of people growing fruit -bearing plants from seed. I wonder how many people don

Better by what metric? Units sold? Influence on technologists? Maybe the C64 was cheap enough for parents to buy as an enhanced game console with education potential for their kids. But maybe in the US, PC clones beat out Amiga in th

I'm not that familiar with the geography of Kyiv, but it seems unwise to keep radioactive waste anywhere near a population center. Is this a permanent holding facility?

The possibility of a nuclear skirmish between neighboring countries seems awful. A poor country with a fragile government should not be entrusted with nuclear weapons. Imagine what the terrorist organizations of the last 25 years would do

I also have a Pixel 2, which is still running fine except for battery life. I really like the dedicated fingerprint sensor on the back. It's been such a great feature that I'm shocked it's been dropped or replaced with in-d

A part of me wonders whether certain organizations tolerate "coasters" as a talent reserve of sorts, expected to engage when things get busy or new/interesting challenges emerge. For whatever reason, many businesses fire und

This is the problem when criminal law enforcement and prosecution fails (as it seems to be more and more in this country) and you can only rely on civil litigation. The penalties need to be tailored to both the damage done and ability to e

Was this a polarizing issue in the sense that extreme approval and disapproval of drone strikes on American citizens is mirrored between Republican and Democrat voters? Or, perhaps voters are more likely to be forgiving when their side is

Given the sheer amount of copyrighted music these days, I wonder whether some of the lack of whistle-ability and pure melody might be due to sheer number of melody permutations already taken by previously written music. Given common chord

I called my Aunts and Uncles for New Year's Day, and they all brought up politics within ten minute conversations. It's not that media is forming their opinions. It's framing the topics of their thoughts and conversations.
