Lessig actively campaigning for electoral revolt left a bad taste in my mouth. I respect what he/they have done for the common good in the past, but lately he/they seem more biased vs. Trump than fighting for civil liberties and t

We're not in disagreement, I'm a reluctant participant for the common good. Part of my point was, the sky was falling 40 years ago for those who blamed the previous generation and protested paying in. And the SSA is still viable t

My initial thought follows this line. Even if a subject doesn't experience actual sleep deprivation, the constant external stimuli are still omni-present, regardless of how well the conscious mind tunes them out. Perhaps sub+consciousl

Scannng headlines in RSS feeds from a dozen or so sources gives me a glimpse of the state of world events in under 10 minutes. I rarely open TFAs unless it is a topic that is of particular interest to, or directly affects, me. Then I come t

Will look at the report, but the last I heard it was the luggage shifting during initial lift-off that caused the control loss. I was pretty happy my brother drove to pick me up in Charlotte that morning. The other option was to take the Gr

Millions of people are depending on that water and electricity daily. Even without a violent release, I suspect draining it would bring long-term discomfort/suffering in the form of significant power loss and water shortages. How long
