Funny thing about this whole situation... I've never heard of Mr. Robot until now and after reading about it I want to watch it.

each chronically homeless individual uses about $30,000 to $50,000 in taxpayer funds per year by cycling in and out of emergency rooms, hospital beds, detox programs, jails, and psychiatric institutions. Damn, that is a huge amount

Thank you for a very authentic and pleasant contribution to the conversation. It's not often that we see hidden nuggets of history shared like this. But I have to admit that I'm having trouble understanding the last line. The auth

There are services for the homeless in America. That attitude is only taken by a portion of our population. You have a fair point though, it's a large portion... The population in the USA is swelling and everyone wants to live in the c

Here is an article that shares the opinion and gives an overview of key ideas. https://arxiv.org/abs/1306.5777 It seems like in the late 80s and early 90s this topic was very hot, then became a fad. You can find many

There's definitely more to it. This problem will continue regardless of the number of jobs available. “ ... as long as American life was something to be escaped from, the cartel would always be assured a bottomless pool of new customer

There's a quote I really enjoy from a German historian that nicely describes this: "There are un-tragic peoples, whom history pearls off of like water from a well-polished boot." - Rolf Peter Sieferle

Yeah, this is the best way to consume the shroom. Mix with a little loose leaf green tea and it actually tastes pretty good, with a tingly after-feeling on your tongue. For anyone that's interested, basically just roughly dice 1/8

One of the first products made in Nipton will be hemp water They've gone too far... Huge amounts of hemp must be processed in order to draw a small amount of CBD OK, I guess it's just CBD, as opposed to THC which w

Some attorneys will actually answer the phone and have a small conversation. Maybe it's rare or different for healthcare issues, but I've made that phone call before. I politely asked a few questions and that was it.

The problem I've had is that there is effectively no difference between bad credit and no credit. It is entirely possible to be a financially responsible person (who exists in the "system" with a bank account) and still be de

A great book! It's very readable and more of an applied math book written with engineers and scientists in mind. Starting out with the basics of state-space representations, it moves from 1D to 2D to 3D dynamics. The last section deals

It's funny what kind of food satisfies that law. One night after a few prior stops I ended up at a very local and very Irish bar. Sipping from a bottle and dreaming of fried potatoes I ask the bartender what food was available. After s

I generally agree that exercise is the key, but pushups can be terrible for tendonitis in the shoulder/upper-arm area. Just wanted to warn people from my experience. It took me way too long to realize that coding all day and games all

That sounded odd to me also. Maybe they are referring to a tear/cut that would change an object's topology. Like taking a bite from a donut changes it from a torus to a sphere. That break is not a continuous change, more "ste

I see where he's coming from, but totally agree with you. I've worked with people who refuse to consider a GUI editor because emacs is what they learned in school and it can do everything, but they don't actually configure th

A big thanks to the GIMP devs for providing us with a powerful image editor! It's one of my favorite tools on Linux. I'm currently using it for gradient generation and texture editing for a game. Obviously PS is king in this domai

Five fried eggs! That's intense. I'm going to try frying my eggs with coconut oil now, thanks for the tip.

Oh yeah, definitely. It's a fantastic way to check out from the mundane crawl that is average life in America. Honestly though, it's better than watching TV. Atleast you have to interact and think. There's also the fact that

I agree. There is no cure for existential depression, but the temporary changes in perception that occur during a mushroom/acid trip can be a huge boon. The sense of self is diminished as you are chemically forced to stare into the voi
