Apparently the one that down-voted my comment can't articulate just why they disagree or disapprove. Was it too long a reply? Is it too full of sentiment? Is it too complex of an issue? Or could it be that a person with a bunch of karm

He should be applauded and all charges dropped. One of the hallmarks of a free society is a lack of surveillance. The fact that he didn't first turn to his superiors brings back my impressions of the Bush era. The Bush era was the firs

I have hope that this is true. So much of the treatment and prevention is focused on protecting the surface of the teeth which is certainly a major consideration. However, there are health conditions that seem to effect the teeth and enamel

I've often thought about traffic flow when stuck in traffic. I'm in favor of a bit of a gap. I'll try to describe it. I'll start with what lead me to my conclusion. At a stop light that has turned green all the cars do n

Shame that someone tossed out that old red rotary phone. Wasn't it Buckminster Fuller that said garbage was just an non utilized resource?

It looks like it might have an advantage over the traditional umbrella in a wind gust. It doesn't look like it needs to fold against the wind to collapse and can maybe collapse safely into the handle if desired. Resilience to wind is a

When I first created a facebook account in 2007, it asked for my email passord. I thought, "there's no way in hell I'm ever going to give that out to anyone and what kind of low-class outfit would ever ask.". Then as I w

Some pretty bad things were done to a lot of those that 'got off their asses'. It is much more acceptable to buck authority now, or at least a lot less dangerous.

I agree that passion is what you can't not do but I think there's more to it. A person may not know what they are passionate about until they are right up against it. Passion is what you care about. If getting a job done right kee

I got by using xp on a quite old machine from 2007 to 2015 by disabling updates and using a firewall. I think many will do similar things with windows 7. Funny you mention pc-bsd. I lost the boot sector (perhaps) on my ssd in my win7 machin

I tend to hate roundabouts. They're terrifying. But for 5-ways (and more) I think they can be a better solution than the complicated signage and striping of a traditional intersection. Provided that they are low speed. There should be

What I can conclude for sure is that the upvoting/downvoting system is very imprecise, but engaging at the same time.

I used to play with those (mercury blob mazes) at electronic/junk shops when I was a little kid. Currently I've got a small collecting of mercury switches and rather large jar of mercury in the basement... It's neat stuff.

Yes. I grew up in Seattle and people rarely make eye contact. It's terrible. It wasn't until I visited other areas that I realized that it wasn't just me. People here do want to be forced out of their shell though. If you don

I think a lot of the debate over evolution has to do with doctrines rather than concepts. I think a lot of it also has to do with a grudge between western science and the roman catholic church. It's a well deserved grudge I believe, bu
