A lot of us still consider domain squatters to be trolls. Use it or lose it.

Well, China is already "the past". They're past the Lewis turning point. We'll have to look somewhere else for "the future".

I'm agreeing with the comment you originally responded to about the statistic being misleading because it is an almost self-evident truth that prosecutors ultimately expend their l…

What youre saying is true, but the reality is that the number of people actually affected by it is vanishingly small. Of course its not vanishing if youre that person affected, but…

Well we dont really like it when you burn the flag in protest if thats one of the alternate worships you are suggesting.

The values you exactly stated: > We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, th…

The moment my mom needs my help to login to something because she clicked the button but now it's expired / she got a new phone / raison du jur, I will be totally unable to assist …

In general, we Americans really, really love our country. Our flag still represents values tied closely to our revolutionary war and and independence. Obviously the flag gets wrapp…

You are correctly stating that stare decisis is really just (very) persuasive precedent for the court reconsidering its own decisions, and that it is not binding on other jurisdict…

That's not really true at all. You just think that because you never hear about it. Stare decisis still applies at a trial level, but its scope is obviously much narrower. Moreover…

Lol. I would have said exactly the same thing at 20 years old and be just as disgusted by it at 30. People grow up.

I'm curious if there's a way to merge multiple key/value pairs into a single cryptext (without just appending or exploding the size of the result) such that everyone securing their…

I feel this sentiment. I think its a good one. The approach I take is that every law should expire after a standard, unchangeable time - probably several terms of Congress, say 6 y…

This is not true at all. Not even a sliver of truth. There must be a word for this style of post where you take your own inadequacies and fears and project them on to others?

I play an odd number of levels in either direction of you.

Seems cool but its just not quite responsive enough on Android Firefox. It seems to almost fit, but i think things are cut off. Controls dont seem to work - i think the materials a…

> But in the USA that doesn't really fly. Talking is transactional, either a business deal is going on or shut up. This is regional within the US and obviously differs by person ev…

I think you've identified analogous functions, but I don't think your analogy holds as you've written it. A more faithful analogy to OP is that there is no better flight crash inve…

Lets be real. The only connection an EHR has to patient health is whatever minimum standard the hospital needs to avoid malpractice lawsuits. The rest of the EHR is all about billi…

I’m honestly curious what drives this kind of response. You’re aiming a lot of negativity at someone who’s voluntarily spending his own time and money to do something that, until r…

Nobody was benefiting from the oil nationalization, least of all the Venezuelan people. All their oil engineers left! You can't walk around Doral, Fl; Katy, Tx; or Alpharetta, Ga w…

Based on where I was born and my background, I should not know as much as I do about Venezuela. Improbably, life led me to develop close ties to some Venezuelans, and with them as …

I agree with you and have agreed with you for a long time. However, I definitely see the writing on the wall. More than one person in my circle have traditionally been Android user…
