I've tried and tried over the past several days, to enroll. According to Equifax, I was one of the "potential victims" (e.g. yeah, my info was stolen). Has ANYONE been able to enro…

I haven't _seriously_ written code in about 15 years. That said, I hire and manage people that do code (and do it damn well!). So, we discussed this article and the question was po…

I recognize that most of the readers are socialist progressives. That's not a bad thing, I'm here to challenge you to consider that a flat tax (no tiers) takes out all of the room …

This title is patently false. After entering my information in the Equifax incident site, the site claimed that I and my mother were "potentially impacted". However, both my aunt a…

Bad post. who cares.

Useless.

Who down modded his comment. Get over yourself, snowflake.

Also a pilot of 31 years (jeeze has it been that long!) apparently they should have crewed the other flights with military transport pilots. They would NOT have turned around... ho…

I'm shocked that the article, which started out as an interesting and fact-based history of the genesis of health insurance, ran head-on into an opinionated rant about the social c…

Ummmm it's not cheap, but it's easy to implement and the price tag per-unit is way lower than a large steam energy plant. So, very misleading headline, because the cheapest cost pe…

Why is this trending?

Your comment is so deeply flawed. But it reflects a generalized misunderstanding of what U.S. federalism is about. The government doesn't own the land, the people do. The governmen…

The Zork Anthology is available for $6 on Steam.... just saying :-) I'm reliving my childhood. Used to play it on a TRS Model III. Good times!

Schmidt sounds Orwellian.

@thanksgiving you nailed it. "spending that I don't benefit from." That's why we need an Article 5 Convention of the States to enforce term limits on all three branches of the Fede…

I for one do not want to have to bale out those whom didn't have a flood rider, unsing my hard earned money via taxes. Flood riders are a readily available insurance product... and…

I know that my Karma is going to get nerfed... but Bill Nye is a nucklehead... and he isn't a scientist. He's a performer, seeking fame, adulation, and cash. Hit the ignore button,…

Not sure why my relating my direct experience, respectfully... got me modded down. There are some really strange people with high karma scores. LOL What a joke.

I can't resist... one machine learning app, manipulating another machine learning app.... priceless!

I must also disagree with the assumption that he was thumbing his nose. It would appear that his role, as a free market proponent, simply placed him at odds with their benefactor (…

It was the right decision, @alyson-cabral. The major market is linux-based, correct? There are better uses of company assets, than trying to chase the less-than-0.06% of holdouts t…

Textbook example of why we need to have a flat tax or a fair tax / federal sales tax. It's way more difficult to game, if the tax code for individuals could fit into a few short pa…

Has anyone watched the live entry of the US mirv's launched from one of our subs to the range of 4k miles? The warheads enter and hit the intended targets within 100m. US ICBMs eli…
