Everything turns clockwise from a specific perspective... that's what is interesting here, perspective and consistency.

I've tried all kinds of approaches. The only ones that ever worked were based purely on the person communicated to, not how I communicated. (ie, the person cared) I've had nice con…

I have a close relationship with a Chinese national that is going through the US immigration process. His view on situations like this are enlightening. He knows the difference bet…

This system was recommended to me from an old veteran manufacturing expert that was one of the consultants on an ERP implementation. The brilliance that this brought was anyone cou…

According to this article, Canada rejected her entry as well. Maybe it's not just the US, but this person actually had a real issue with her visa and her travel plans were not prep…

Most people I met when homeless didn't want the help the government offered. There's a direct conflict between people who lead and those that actually want to help. Unfortunately, …

Thank you!

I have a friend who is a foreigner, and is in a master's CS degree program in the US. He's married to an American woman as of a few months ago. What is the reasonable amount of tim…

When I see a card magic trick, for all intents and purposes it "appears" magic. Once I learn _one_ card trick, I start to realize it's not magic. Regardless if I can prove anything…

You are missing a critical point. Before this, there was likely no proof that people could share or rely on to question if _any_ ghost could be an illusion. This is very important …

Yep, just came here to say this. I was going to run their maze through a photoshop filter to remove the extra garbage to see what difference it makes. (but eh, we know it would)

I asked this about the other recommended drug above to... Any side effects you got from Metagelan? Any idea how/why it works for you?

Did you have any side effects from rizatriptan?

I wonder if there are multiple different causes. Because I have had migraines regularly since I was a little kid and sleep was the only cure. (Hours of crying until I'd pass out) B…

I drew an equilateral triangle and it floats flat on top.

This question speaks to the biggest communications battle I have had for the past 20+ years in my career. I have a coworker that uses his quick talking ability to manipulate, accus…

Why is there so much marketing to support nuclear? The reason people don't want it in their back yard is because disasters are so drastic (even if rare), the waste nearly permanent…

I think the reason center is so hard for people is that you have to first understand "what" you are centering. > Text, inline box, block box, image/object, etc... Then, what do you…

Freedom of speech is about liberty of life, not liberty of opportunity. Two totally different things.

You can go to jail in the UK for a drunk tweet on X (twitter). That is not a free society at it's core. Your other freedoms are breath away from being all gone.
