IIRC it was likely more than 80% that were wiped out by disease, giving later European settlers the ability to promote the idea of the Americas as a largely unsettled wilderness scattered with savages, though just a couple decades before Na

I realize that there's real research being done here. But as a layman, I read this and only understand that Scottish, Welsh and Irish people are descended from the people who lived in those regions before. This seems obvious. So what a

Not hypoglycemia, but I have IBS. Doctors usually run some basic standard health panels, everything comes back pretty close to normal, they tell me I look super healthy, and that if a food bothers me, don't eat it. It took me two years

Is it possible to visit an oil rig? Just to stay a few nights and see what life is like on one? And if not, are there any documentaries on movies about life on an oil rig?

If your cell provider is going to help stingrays connect to your phone, the government might as well just install the wiretap at the provider and none of this matters.

Turning off the phone isn't a solution though. The concern with the attack is that someone is snooping on my connection while I use it. If I can't use my phone confidently knowing no one is watching, then my only other option woul

I sometimes notice that my connection has been downgraded to 3G despite being in an area that regularly has full 4G coverage. Should I be suspicious of an attack? Is there any way to protect oneself from this type of attack?

Not every customer is going to be happy. And few, if any, companies are purely motivated by customer satisfaction. There are limits, especially legally, of what companies can do to satisfy customers.

Good point about the other German speaking countries. I don't really know why that slipped my mind. But the social class thing you mentioned is kind of my point. I think it's pretty much true in all of those German speaking countr

I feel that this study is making a very general conclusion based on very specific criteria. While I agree that knowing multiple languages often increases cognitive overhead, and probably doesn't make me superhuman smart or anything, it
