Selfishness and Narcissism are IMHO the driving force for many of these estrangements. It's just more of the same from the Boomers, or the Me generation. They people who fully embraced the Me generation raised a group of children who

I gave up every type of drink except for water 10 years ago. After about 1 year of drinking only water I lost the desire for everything except water. After about 2 years I've found that I got significantly more enjoyment from water tha

He would have been better off framing them and hanging them on the wall, nobody would believe that that construction worker had the stolen originals on his wall. The other benefit is that he would have been able to enjoy the art.

Full disclosure: I do not think this virus was engineered I do not think this was deliberately released I do think the Chinese were studying this virus in the lab, not engineering it, but studying it. I do think it was the result of a lab

I’ve found that almost all new content, TV (includes streaming), Movies and Music just aren’t worth the time. My two cents is that we’ve both removed the childish, subtle and controversial content and dumbed down the intellectual content. W

Agriculture produces 10% of the greenhouse gases emitted by humans. Let's say we can make a wish, and snap our fingers and have all the necessary factories in place to replace *ALL* food farming for the globe. I doubt the entirety of t

This still won't fix the fundamental problem facing the environment, which is over population, it also won't fix the problem that the environment is already locked into a number of positive feedback loops driving climate change.

Of course it’s impossible to know what their sales would look like if they had a sales team, and tons of money spent on ads. 2X, 5X, 10X, 20X? As long as the founders and investors, are happy with their current sales numbers.

Since you’ve been doing this a long time and you are not a professional, please record a video and put it up on YouTube, it would help out a lot of people.

Miami has been very lucky when it comes to hurricanes. I wonder how Miami fares if they take a direct hit from an Andrew force hurricane, or a hurricane that drops 40+ inches of rain?

I find all professional sports to be an incredible waste of time and resources. The only benefit of professional sports is the enrichment of people who are already rich, the owners. Some athletes make money, but the vast majority don'

That's funny, they think they'll stop supporting Windows 10 in 4 years, when 16% of Windows computers still run Windows 7. In 2025 I bet there will still be almost 10% of all Windows computers running Windows 7

Amazon doesn't want to be liable for ANYTHING, they just want to sell stuff and make money any way they can. The business/GOP view of the world is that responsibility is for individuals not corporations. Freeing corporations so t

As a motorcyclist you are 4% less likely to be involved in an accident as compared to an automobile, but 27 TIMES more likely to die. A friend is a Navy pilot, and a crash investigator, trust you instruments all the time.

A 6lb drone is not exactly a deterrent for war. Don't automatically assume this is foreign, not all branches of the U.S. government play nice with the other branches of the U.S. government.

I stopped drinking at 25, that was 30 years ago. I just decided that there weren't any benefits but a lot of negatives, so I stopped. When I tell people I stopped drinking they assume I had a problem. I laugh and say "No." T

The tax code is lopsided in favor of the rich, it's not about paying a fair share, it's about the burden of the taxes. The burden of taxes on the non-rich is significantly greater than it is on the rich. If I make $400K and I onl

China knew they had a problem in late 2019, when there were very few cases. The COVID presents as the flu, the symptoms are the same, so that means without a test there needs to be some other way to identify that a new virus is spreading. T

Hardworking and reliable people are valuable assists to a community, and I suspect some aspect of this is wired into our brains. So it’s natural. Working so that others may get rich at our own expense is relatively new, and it’s largely a

Maybe this an option that’s in place just in case Apple decides to license the chip/boards to one or more OEM’s. OEM licensing makes sense for a SOC, plus the more the chip sells the lower the price per unit, so Apple would make money
