While what you're saying is true, there's an amazing jump in the number of disabled people that coincides with the onset of the recession in 2008.

From what I can tell you'll get disability if you keep bothering them long enough. I know guys who are on disability for lower back pain with no physical evidence, i.e. x-rays are normal. They all got turned down a few times at first

Or just a bullet to the back of the head. Execution in the US is downright odd - the endless delays, the ritual, the use of doctors... it's all sort of macabre.

It's more a question of having a method codified into law than being stuck with that method. Instead of producing the drugs the states in question will probably just switch to another method of execution.

And yet a lot of people do just that.

I see what he's saying, but I wonder. There has to be a point of diminishing returns. Maybe we've already discovered the easy ones, and yet more mass screening won't turn up much.

As I understand it, most drugs are still a pretty "blunt" from the standpoint of biochemistry. Too much of X causes some problem, so you make an antagonist for X. But X does a half dozen other things, and your X antagonist is go

If you're doing something annoying or illegal they could always follow it and see where it lands. More likely they would ask when they drive by and see someone preparing to launch one. There are lots of hunting, firearms, and vehicula

If you can't fire the diversicrats you should probably just give up and accept mediocrity.

In the US your employer pays around 15% of your salary as tax. If you're not working for someone else that's an extra 15.3% you have to pay - it's called "self employment tax".

There's a big difference between dropping a smart bomb on a specific target and flattening an entire city in the hopes of getting that target. Guided weapons certainly aren't perfect, but they're miles better than the altern

If the .223 was designed to be less lethal it doesn't work very well. Over the years a hell of a lot of people have died after being shot by M-16/M-4s.

There's outsourcing and there's outsourcing. There may be fewer companies trying to build internal applications using contractors on another continent, but it seems like more companies are getting rid of data center operations in

I always give them the highest reasonable number I can come up with. For one thing, whatever you give them is the floor - if you say "I expect $140k" and then counter a $140k offer you're likely to piss them off. I don'

The problem is when people realize they're not going to get paid, they also realize there's no reason to finish. After a constant stream of cost overruns the US military tried to do fixed price contracts for awhile. What happens

So true. That's why the internet is full of bogus Thomas Jefferson quotes.

I think it's easy and dangerous to assume other people aren't doing what we want them to do because they're not as smart as we are. It allows unlimited license to meddle in other peoples' lives. There are always exte

It has everything to do with internet ubiquity. They've realized they can't sell a product everyone can get for free.

Why do you assume people can't see what they're doing? Why can't it be that they're making the choices they want to make?

There's no end to that road. What people do in the bedroom affects their health as well. Shall we tax the more risky sex practices?

That's probably exactly what it was - an awkward attempt at flattery. An expression of interest, in an attempt to see if the interest might be mutual. After all, there's no logical reason attractive women can't be engineers
