If you screen is small enough, your paddle ends up above the images. (I tried this with Firefox 20.0.1)
Am I the only one to whom consecutive replies like this sound like one's own thinking process?
I think we're seeing just how huge a difference the genes for tasting make. A super taster vs a low taster will treat food (kind of a big deal if you want to stay alive) extremely differently. I wonder which was a…
On weekdays? Long job, long commute, children, sleep - yes, it is easy to have pretty much no free time for most of the week.
actual Americans Like Native Americans? But seriously, if you are a true libertarian and believe all humans are equal, why does it matter if someone is an actual American?
Well yes. Plenty because even one human is plenty. But plenty compared to how many people died in WWII? Or WWI? Or any real war we had before? Compared to what happened immediately before, the cold war was incredibly…
Glass ring encased in rubber, with a label claiming it is exactly as flexible and stretchable as a 100% rubber ring would be.
This will continue to escalate until it ends up with people dying or both sides back down. Or everyone just keeps up this new internet war just like we kept the cold war going for decades, with no one being killed by it.
That's almost correct. What you describe is true for the relationship between CEOs and the board. Or execs and other execs, neither over, nor below them, in the management structure. Those are corporate peers. For those…
I'd take the drink over the junk an average American eats any day. Me too. But just because junk food is worse, does not mean this is good. I for one would not take this over: Eat food, mostly plants, get exercise and…
Hi Fred and Paul! You don't know me. I just wanted to be able to tell people I said hello to you two once :)
Darkest Secret? More like an open secret. It has not yet affected me, as I am quite old enough yet. But I have seen in in large corporations. It's bad management, very sad, and would be almost impossible to prove in a…
This seems like a very long way to describe the very old advice of never being the first to say a number. There are better articles online, specific to salary negotiation and how to refuse to give a number without being…
I do not believe this can be something which you could use to read by. Light takes a lot of energy and biology does not waste energy. And plants don't even have the metabolism of a fly. This is very neat. I'll probably…
what could possibly go wrong with that? Yes, what? If you think about it like a SciFy movie, it is guaranteed to result in a gigantic, walking plant, smarter than a human, which wants to destroy us all. Also ghosts some…
My personal anecdote: When I lived in a small town with fios and Time Warner and Comcast, every offer was far cheaper and better than when I moved to a much bigger city with only Time Warner.
Find another job. Not just with "son and father" but also with genetically unrelated cronies.
This only tracks paper currency, so it is an odd measure.
The problem is that lay people have essentially no ability to distinguish between potential 'last shots'. And exemptions will invite snake-oil salesmen. So because some people will be duped, let's doom everyone to death.
Basing it on your income is even better than basing it on the value of the car.
Or we are forced to act like adults. I know Germany has very strict driving laws. I think you can't use your horn for no good reason, can't give other drivers the finger, etc, or you'll be fined. And I think fines are…
I don't have synesthesia. But when I see some commercial brands take a common word and intentionally misspell it. That bothers me a lot. Apostrophe abuse especially. Not so much when it is a simple mistake of its or…
What I find interesting is that malaria gets less funding because the countries with malaria are so poor. And they are poor because of their governments are bad. And if a country with malaria suddenly started to grow…
I honestly believe that many decades from now, 20 to 50 years, at least one industrialized country will have something like a Basic income guarantee. It happened to Rome. When all of their work was done by slaves, the…
All of social networking is a virus. They all rely on viral growth, viral "features" are often pushed despite no one liking them (see everything Facebook ever did). And most disturbingly if they succeed in growing big…
