My parents didn't attend a majority of events for me, for example, I told my mom in 12th grade (in India) - you are going to miss never ever having attended a PTA meeting for me, and the last one is coming up, so you better go. Then sh

The question is - what is the right temperature for hot coffee to be called hot? Coffee served by McD (180 to 190 degrees Fahrenheit) will give a person third-degree burns in two to seven seconds, while home-coffee brewers normally serve co

People making 100-200k/year would love this service. People below that income range would want to sell privately themselves to make the most money. People above would just dump it at the dealer's and not care.

I am not getting a cohesive point in your comment to rebut. Either you are saying: 1. India, for example, is _exclusively_ (i.e. completely) ignoring welfare - something that is clearly wrong as the country spends a lot on subsidizing food
