Every day I drive through the counties that handed Trump his victory. Trust me the decline is real. Must be nice to worry about the messenger. I’ll worry about the toxins DuPont dumped in the local water or the lead leeching from my tap. Bu

Jee, here I thought the World Service (the only BBC I can get) was targeted at me :S Radio liberty was forbidden from transmitting in the US by Congress.

What’s you’re point? Do you point out that the BBC is owned/paid by the British government when someone posts BBC? (or NPR for that matter)

No. Moving from SF to NYC is not easier than moving to the Central Valley. The difficulties are different. When I was six we moved to the easiest place to move to: early 90s greater Toronto Area. No crime. Lots of jobs. Lots of good will fr

It’s glass - it’a not pixie dust doped adamantium. Metals arent particularly strong. Glass, plastics, etc are all stronger (yield strength). But boy are they ductile, and very tough. Iron can take, literally, an infinite number of loading c

I’ve moved 15 times to a different city (about half of them international). I’m in my early 30s. Moving to a different city is hard. The older they get the harder it is. Most people can’t do it.

Have you tried renting in Cali? The landlord will laugh at your face when you show up four folks for a studio. The few months I lived in Cali I had a well paying job, and it still took me a month to find a place to stay. Reasons I was refus

A PhD is literally )as in that’s what the abbreviation stands for ) a license to teach. It’s origins are exactly in training people to pass the torch of knowledge. Look at the Greats, or even professors until the 50s, they only had at most

I’d reread all senior citizens yearly. I don’t care why they drive. Fun cab stories: I had a cab driver on a van do 120 km/h (75mph) on an offramp I do at 60kph in a sedan. I had to teach a cab driver how to drive on snow/ice once

Wait a second. I despise Uber for many reasons. But the main reasons I go on an Uber is because the drivers in any city I’ve been in have been maniacs, while (in my experience) Uber/lyft drivers are the calmest, most restpectful driv

35 hrs is less than half of a class during a semester. The MSF can give you 10 hours of motorcycle training in a single weekend. By comparison, to become a licensed barber (or electrician, etc) typically requires thousands of hours as an ap

S/he didn't make this up. History is the study of the past trough written records. The word has been since overloaded to be the study of the past. Which is fine, except that leaves no reason for the word pre-history

"Is the wind not as strong on land?" Yup ! The turbines are anchored to the sea bed. The wind has a boundary condition against the ground. If the ground is the sea, then the sea current wrt to the sea bed adds to the wind speed wr
