There are no problems more easily dealt with given less money. One of the things money is critical for is misery avoidance. People talk about how "money can't buy happiness." Well, it can sure buy you not being stuck in…
Looks like death. I'd be surprised if he's around in five years.
The solution to all of eye strain, hand strain, and ass strain is simply to take five minutes to leisurely walk around the block once every hour and half. You don't need an expensive chair or to work standing up or…
Fructose is sweeter. It actually seems the taste of sweet alone triggers an insulin response that causes fat storage. Zero calorie sweeteners have been shown to cause fat gain.
Picking winning movies is apparently pretty much impossible. That was the whole point of the old Studio System; it allowed the movie makers to limit risk. The government broke up the studio system and now they limit…
I've heard there's malarkey to do with how they account for deaths and cures. If you survive a diagnosis for five years or something they count you as cured. In a lot of cases what we really have is a lot of technology…

Why are you "fine" with US covert/clandestine operations as long as they're done "according to process"? I contend our foolish interference overseas lead directly to the blowback of 9/11 and current tensions with Iran,…
What makes you think they didn't get more stupid? The illegitimacy rate shot up. The savings rate fell a lot. Does whatever makes people fat also turn them into irresponsible parents and poor retirement planners? My…

If you're poor and buying mostly fast food you're just stupid. Dare I say you're poor and fat because you're stupid. Convenience and time? You're going to do better healthwise and financially with any of ten products…
Sex Pistols were a boy band. A marketing creation.

No offense, but this is kind of a dumb question. A martial art is not much different from any other sport, programmer or not. Play tennis, box, what's the difference? My two cents on which martial art to pick is boxing…

That would explain why the nordic populations in the upper mid-west are similarly "happy"...
I don't follow your line about huge profits. The simple fact is coal, when measured in terms of energy content, is getting scarcer and more expensive. You can't look at state supported industries and come to any…
The Nordic countries are ethnically homogeneous with rooted communities. They have high average IQs and very low crime. I'd read a lot more into that than anything to do with economic or healthcare policy. The somewhat…

I'm not sure I understand you. The point is no combination of any known substitutes are close to competitive with current fossil fuel usages. Coal is basically in the same situation as oil, contrary to what you may have…
Bush style invasions and assertive control of shipping lanes are two very different things.
