One thing I've found is that honey is an amazing sore-throat cure.

I wonder if Bitcoin's recent adoption by some big sites is actually what is bringing the price down as people with stored up BTC are sending them to merchants, who are instantly converting them to their preferred currency?

I think that in the context, it conveys the fact that it's 10% of the original price better than saying 10%.

Maybe they want to save the world for the world's sake. I am generally in favour of the world.

If I throw a ball and suddenly it stops, contrary to what I expect, I don't go "oh, I guess the ball just stopped of its own accord, naturally," I go, why the hell did it stop?" and look for reasons. Who knows, maybe it

It's not that every year lately has been hotter than the last; however, the last 13 or so years are hotter than anything from 20+ years ago. See graphs here: https://www.google.ca/search?q=global+temperatures+annual&amp

My grandfather used to give me coins to count. Loved it. (Was older than a toddler, though..)

Not so much in Canada. We'll call someone from the US an American, but we don't say America; we'll say the US, instead.. as I just did.

Agreed, yep. They'll vote for their niche issue even though the rest of the platform may hurt them or their ideals more in the big picture.

I know, just that they behave similarly to the pictures shown. My point was just that I think the reason liberal-type people don't react to the image can be either that the images themselves are not dangerous, or that the images do no

I don't think there's a 50/50 split. It's just that with a 2-party system like in the US, it's natural that they will roughly split the vote.

On it being "worse" and liberals being unafraid in the way psychopaths are -- it could be that they are unafraid of things that can't hurt them, like the "scary" staged photo in the article. Maybe if they used real

Geez I remember my dad's Toyota Camry would start shaking at just 140 km/hr (87.5 mph.. holy crap maybe I was about to time travel). Many cars, and especially most drivers, just can't go that fast safely..

I'm not sure it actually is wasteful, though. Social Security in the US is supposed to have minuscule overhead. In Canada, even the government can't always be trusted to not give money to charity groups that are anti-gay -- indivi

Yesterday there was a post on here where Elon tweeted a reply to someone that his guess was the closest yet: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6046943 He seems to verify that there will be "pods" 2m wide, so it

I actually kind of miss static sites. These days everything seems to be about pumping out new content, like a newspaper, whereas static sites were more like books. They had chapters, an order to read, table of contents... you explored the

I don't really understand the whole objection to Soylent. 1. I don't care much about food. The smell, experience and taste. Why in god's name would I spend a bunch of time each day just to have the "joy" of eating
