I'm planning on visiting to get some dental work done in the coming months. I have a lot of issues and have never been able to afford proper work here in the US. To get the work done I need here would be in excess of $50,000 but my f

I think you nailed it, you are lucky. Most jobs do not function like this, to think otherwise is delusional. At every single employer I've ever worked for, if you left early or came in late despite accomplishing all your work, you wou

I'm curious, this article spins the whole "lower rates of ambulance usage" as a positive thing, but is there enough evidence to say that? From the article: _______ With demand for ambulances decreased by available Uber driver

They have a HUGE bias, I doubt anything coming out of them is the actual truth. There are around 500,000 minke whales (the type they hunt) in the Antarctic, Japanese whaling kills approximately 300 whales per year. Please explain to me why

Are you serious with this? You are just as clueless as these idiot politicians. More often than not people are NOT responsible for their outcome. It is a genetic lottery. Will you be born into money? Then you're set for life. Not

I've never used twitter, am I deserving of some sort of reward or recognition too?

Yup, this. And given that he states twice in his spiel that he "had no reason to suspect the package would be lost" it is almost laughable. Has any single person in history sent a package and said "Well I expect this will g

These terms were coined before the Americas were discovered by Europeans. Europe was the West, then you have the Middle East, then the Far East (China, Japan). That was the whole world to them pretty much. When the Americas were discovere

No one is debating the sporty performance of your VW. You dismiss all criticisms of them immediately and go on to talk about your lovely driving experience, making it seem like you either work for VW or have a vested interest in them, so y

Nope. Diffusion of gasses in the air is an extremely rapid process. In a minute the concentration would be the same throughout the room.

No one demonizes you for being addicted to potato chips and reality TV, so maybe try some empathy.

Heroin is already safer than tobacco and alcohol. Deaths per year from Heroin: 13,000 Deaths per year from Alcohol: 88,000 Deaths per year from Tobacco: 440,000 Hmm...

Sorry, but what are you talking about? Yes, CO is similar to air's molar mass (it's actually slightly lower), meaning it will diffuse evenly through the vertical space in the room. The concentrations at the ceiling will be the sa

Whale hunters in Japan (where they have gotten a lot of criticism in recent years) most certainly do use the whole whale, or at least most of it. They eat the meat; so it's no more wasteful than eating a cow, pig, chicken. It may hav

The GDP of the entire content of Africa is $2.39 trillion, just the USA alone has a GDP 7x their entire content. It would be roughly equivalent to bringing in $1.4 billion into the US economy. Do you have any actual evidence to add to your

Whales are not endangered. Some types of whales are endangered. In fact, most Humpback species were removed from the endangered list. http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/09/07/492976575&#x2

You obviously didn't do any research into the subject you are talking about, or are just ignoring it, so let me inform you. You know what's even more messed up than killing an animal? Humans suffering and dying due to extreme pov

So is there any reason in particular that the thought of eating something containing shark fin "disgusted" you, but all of the other animal parts on the menu were just fine? The level of hypocrisy in this thread is incredible. Sa

Oh I'd forgot to mention that were were charged a $10 re-connection fee each time, in addition to being charged for the days when service was not available. Basically any time they want they can take extra money from you and you have n

This happened to myself and my housemate recently, this draconian practice is still alive and well in the USA. We have Service Electric, who uses PenTeleData as their provider, and I can honestly say they are the worst service imaginable..

Why have there been so many washingtonpost articles lately? Pretty annoying to those who don't want to deal with paywalls to get their news.
