The sheer unadulterated racism from the past is horrifying and sickening. Sure, we still have work to do, but I'm glad we've come so far in the last few decades.

I have been a member of /r/natureismetal and I can tell you without a doubt that most prey are eaten alive. Even baboons and chimps eat their prey alive.

I also read it when I was 16, and throughout my 20s. I haven't read it in 10-15 years now. It's something that speaks to you as a teenager more than it does as an adult, because at least for me it put into words what I hated about

Catcher in the Rye was the right book for me at the right age. It really set a North Star for me as to what I wanted to be when I looked at myself in the mirror. Funny how as I grew older, I found myself understanding more and more about wh

Can you cut the fuel into small pieces and keep them away from each other so that they don't reach such a high temperature?

I love gambling. I go to Vegas 4-6 times per year, and I play poker at the local casinos/card houses almost every week. I've NEVER liked sports gambling because it's so hard to predict and I also believe that it's rigged

They don't like the rulings that the Supreme Court has made, so now they are talking about limiting the term of justices, and packing the court with more judges. That is strengthening the integrity of the Supreme Court?

Perfect example of Whatabout-ism. I'm not talking about China, I'm not a citizen of China and I will never even visit that country. Why are you mentioning China when this is about the US?

I would say the exact same thing about the Republicans if they were in power. Right now they aren't so they aren't committing the same offenses. I think they are just as capable as being corrupt and fascist like the Democrats are

It's only doomed to fail because we have a strong Supreme Court. All the efforts by the Democrats to undermine this will only make things easier for fascists to take over the US.

I love gambling. I play poker every weekend and go to Las Vegas several times a year, sometimes for less than 24 hrs just to gamble. Even I think that gambling is ruining sports. I like it when it's off to the side, when people are bet

I think your reasoning is flawed. When you are aiming for targets with a gun, there is no utility in that. That's like saying a basketball is a tool. Neither guns nor basketballs are tools. Also, I never once implied that killing is ba

I'm very pro 2nd amendment, but guns are not tools and it's a fallacy to say that. Guns are used to kill something. In hunting they are used to kill animals, and otherwise they are used to kill other people, or yourself in the cas

I guess I don't get it. CockroachDB is decidedly an enterprise product. There's no need for even a medium sized company to require distributed database the likes of CockroachDB. If you're a small company using it, you're

Unless you're willing to become a software development company, I would strongly strongly suggest NOT writing the software yourself. 1) Can you acquire this company? 2) Can you talk to other companies that do something similar and migr

It's an open and shut case to get a judgement in your favor on recovery of the fees. Just anticipate two small claims court appearances (or maybe recursive appearances if they don't pay the recovery fees) and it will be fine. Even
