There does not seem to be any snark or condescension in the question. Which makes me wonder why the comment is getting downvoted. Which is too sacred to critique, the disaster relief or Airbnb? Neither should be above it.

One method to teach them the infallibility of the web is to have them research the endangered tree octopus. I had a friend's rather brilliant fourth grade son accept this creature without a thought. I hope he's more vigilant now.

Cities like Vegas, Tucson, and Phoenix were created because of federally subsidized water. Allowing water prices to 'float' to the market value might keep these areas from growing beyond their resources.

jeebus, to many of us it doesn't. Since you clearly state it's about your feelings, you could constructively reply by answering your own question here: What about their posts make you feel like it's spam?

I drive an old Mitsubishi and parts are often impossible to come by even at the junkyard. I look forward to the day when a local machine shop can download the mold and make me my part even if expensive because the alternative is rigging a

Well done, PopSurvey. Had never heard of you, but now you're top of my list. That folks is how you market.

Wouldn't a "Purchase Now for $X" button work that only tracked clicks and returned a message: "Sorry, our product is in development now. We'll email you as soon as it's live."

Looks good. I would have used it three months ago for my current project. One note: when I'm previewing the theme, though it's opened in another tab, it would be beneficial for you to have a message/link that would take me to the download p

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you said people shouldn't enjoy living out of a van. I meant to draw attention to you writing that living in a van was an insincere ( glib ) and unrealistic ( romantic ) undertaking.

Good to know we shouldn't have pleasure so long as there is any man who can't share in it. [EDIT] single father/middle class technocrat here, living paycheck to paycheck. Many of my friends make less than I do. By this measure of hubris, I

Patrick, he does write "it’s worth noting that we are talking about people that want to live in vans." I was a lower middle class kid with a lackluster middle class education and good manners so I was able to scrape by on $17K a year and "l

And yet they're missing the real probable truth here: when I ignore a 'request quote' and click a 'request price' it's because I don't want to waste thirty minutes with an agent AT ANY POINT in the transaction. I want a set price. I want to

Umm...assuming no bias, institutional or otherwise, you should randomly encounter a woman programmer once for every male programmer. Whereas you'd only encounter an African American one out of eight programmers (12% of the total pop).

Find out how many hours you sleep before you wake up naturally. Go to bed at an hour where you wake up at the right time without an alarm clock.

? From my experience, the worst thing that can happen with a plug failure is a very slow leak?

That was in back country Alaska (note the past-perfect tense). Every man for himself and all that.

I don't disagree - but here in the desert where my tires only last four or five years due to heat and sun, my plugs survive for the life of the tire; by increasing the factor of safety with a patch I gain little but confidence.

Plugging a tire is simpler than fixing a bike tire in most cases. I can plug a tire without taking it off the vehicle. It costs $5 and less than ten minutes. It took me less than five minutes to teach my son when he was six. It is a sad sta

Each of the tires on my old Chevy at one point had over a dozen plugs. Each plug lasted several years. The beauty of a plug is the kit is five bucks, comes with about a dozen plugs and you can use it anywhere. Get a thirty five dollar compr
