This mirrors my experience. Very significant increase in prolonged focus.

Important to note that the only source of information we have right now is the deported person's account of events. He does say he was detained PRIOR to the picture being found. Be…

I'm share some skepticism. While I agree with their belief that prostates suffer from unappreciated "mechanical" issues, I'm less convinced of their method of resolution. For my ow…

Any plans to integrate with Download providers like IVANS?

I'm not sure I understand your comment. Maduro/Chavez were Soviet/Russia backed, and have since not only wrecked the country, but have now seized permanent dictatorial power.

That would mean that the group that released the percentage, and thus calculated it, was a different group than the one that released the raw numbers. That doesn't seem likely sinc…

I've crossed the border hundreds of times and no one has ever asked me for my social media accounts.

What a failure of our western surveillance organizations that the only spies we catch are the ones that are so bad at their jobs that they get drunk and brag about it. How do we fa…

These fines DO discourage these behaviors. As some who handled fines at a very large bank, a fine would ALWAYS change the bank's procedures. ...and not only fines against us, but f…

Yes, usually they do. I suspect there is a more political motivation to target Amazon specifically.

Renewables cannot store sufficient capacity to make up for their variable output. A cloudy/windless 2 week period in December, would require far more battery capacity than is possi…

Germany was where Putin was stationed for decades - that's why he speaks fluent German and spends a disproportionate amount of time on German politics. His penetration of German po…

Exactly - and it's important to make a distinction between the bots that post comments and posts, and the much larger and more influential bot farms that manipulate content (both p…

Not possible as most are in Russia/China/Iran/Nigeria/etc...

Not to mention there are plenty of leaked/faked passports out there

Even political and historical events that you would not think are controversial have become biased. As an example, there are some Wikipedia editors that continually remove mentions…

Building a large building does not look anything like building a nuclear silo. This comment is 100% ridiculous speculation. That's not to say they don't have a nuclear weapons prog…

Strong vibrations in Westchester county

Sky scrappers are the safest buildings to be in during an Earthquake. The most dangerous are the oldest much smaller masonry multilevel buildings.

Does anyone know if there's a real-time feed of Earthquakes somewhere? The USGS website doesn't post the Earthquakes until 10-15 minutes after it's over - which nullifies any type …

There are also just too many entries in dense areas. It's impossible to go through all of them for something that might be interesting for the reader specifically. It would be nice…

> how often does a fridge door open on its own? No, it's for when the kids leave the door open or just don't close it properly - which is VERY frequent. The door alarm goes off onc…

bingo. It's like measuring the effectiveness of my gardening by seeing how many vegetables I produce in the summer vs winter, and then blaming Santa Claus for poor performance.
