People also forget how inexpensive and ephemeral individual ads are. A display banner on a quality site costs less than a tenth of a penny. And it’s like a room on a cruise ship — the boat is gonna sail one way or another. So it has to be s

The ads are so inexpensive that just one repeat buyer pays for all the waste. Think of it — some people have a second home. Or a short term rental. Or a guest bedroom.

I love Costco as a customer and a shareholder. High quality products. Less frequent shopping. Ethical practices. Protip: for perishable items like produce, we have a "Costco buddy system" -- a few nearby friends who we can split b

The ostriches are vicious! They had that pail of feed ripped out of my hand and spread on the ground before I could even flinch.

I toured the facility around 2005-6 (iirc). Looks like you still can. It had a futuristic and lightly post-apocalyptic vibe. The jungle plants were growing out of control, pressing up against the glass panes of one of the habitats. Ants str

Is it me, or does the title not match the argument put forth in the article? I guess "Political currents affecting US education funding" didn't have a good ring to it...

You're treating the public case the FBI made earlier as if it reflects its actual beliefs and motivations. Looking at the pattern of actions, rather than the rhetoric, suggests something else to me. And it's a little early to say
