It would seem like he has more to lose and will understand the consequences better than someone in that space who hasn't spent years in jail.

I don't know the correct way, but for my dog it was a progression from sit -> shake hands -> give me ten. I would just move her into the position I wanted then give her praise and/or a treat. Repetition and praise.

Well, I haven't varied the routine much at all since I was 14 and it still feels intensive. It is an exhausting 3-4 minutes. I don't put on extra muscle, I maintain what I have. So I look much stronger than I am.

I wonder if the tipping point might simply be when >50%-80% of people are already on welfare.

I find it boring too. What works for me is that I do weights (the routine doesn't vary) before I brush my teeth in the morning. Part of my daily ablutions ritual, I don't think about it or need to enjoy it, it just happens. Routin

There is one way to make online voting secure that hasn't been discussed here: make the votes public. Publish a full list of who voted online and who they voted for. You could then vote online publicly or in person privately. It isn&#x

In Australia you have a legal right to vote informally. Perhaps other countries are different? Here you are legally required to submit a ballot paper but you are not required to fill it out.

In Australia they are also counted by hand.

The online voting form should still allow for people to ignore the rules and submit an invalid vote though, just like they can with pencil and paper.

I kind of think the authors own bias is showing through here. There is a prize for women not because women are thought to be any less capable, but because they are thought to be equally capable. If they were less capable they wouldn't

The application I see for this is avatar or even character faces in games, reflecting their user's expression in real time. Also probably cat memes.

Christianity was never for the rich: “Go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor” and "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!” - Mark 10:21+

It depends though. I have a friend who bought a winery+vineyard after he retired, he's losing money and working very hard but he's also happy. I've spent a day out at his farm, pruning vines and getting shown around his equip

A modern romance story: “She was my first fan,” Honnold told me. “She’d seen the film, and she posted, like, one line on my Facebook, and I was like, Oh, my God! There’s a cute chick talking to me! I posted back a smiley face, and then she

The 25th of May is Towel Day, to commemorate Douglas Adams. If we keep the 8th of April as Terry Pratchett day, perhaps we could all wear wide-brimmed fedoras? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Towel_Day http://w

I'm kind of surprised they're not offering a 50k or 100k reward. Get in quick people, they're selling out.

I can really only speak for the guys, but certainly at my school it was very much like that. Broadly speaking, sports, smokes, geeks, money. They each had their own click and hung around well defined areas during lunch and recess for obviou

That is the kind of distinction Alenn Kessler would make! I wouldn't expect the 'auto-hold' feature to allow everyone to play mathematically perfectly, but I would expect it to automate routine decisions for speed. Giving a

Women who carry mace might also welcome one of these in their handbags. Or people who keep getting inspected at airports. I'm sure there's a market.

There's money to be made in ordinary pet accessories, so I'm sure if Sony tried they could create a range of toys and such for these pets too.

If you can sit through 90 minutes of what feels a lot like a sermon, this is fairly informative - and I think (?) more or less accurate although there's one glaring math error you can't help but see. Sugar: The Bitter Truth: http

It's effectively a prop bet. If you're a world class table tennis champion and you bet someone you can beat them at table tennis on the proviso that they get to pick the bats, you can't really complain if you find out later t
