The link isn't NY Times, but it agrees with you; according to Netflix people tend to binge watch 2-3 episodes a sitting. It makes sense, that's roughly the length of a movie. http://www.cinemablend.com/television&

I just talked with a driver. He said the 80% is correct, gross. Because everyone is a contractor the government takes another 30% on top of it. Plus they have to pay their own insurance, repair, gas, etc. so after everything is said and don

"It's old and crummy, easily one of the worst designed popular sites on the internet." I love Reddit's design, it's very effective and to the point. You don't visit Reddit to view Reddit, you visit to read post

The magic button to wake up for me was having a schedule. I goto bed and wake up at the same time every day (even the weekends). It took me months, but forcing myself to physically get out of bed every morning did the trick. Now I wake up w

War is also a great reason to horde. The History of the Peloponnesian War talks about people burying their money in hopes the the conquering army won't find it. Then you can go back and retrieve it later.

Serious question: Biogenesis says that Life creates life or, (I'm paraphrasing) organic matter creates more organic matter. The disproval of Vitalism shows that non-organic matter can create organic matter. Therefore Biogenesis can occ
