I think Molson Hart should add a panda to their line of stuffed animals.

Everyone here seems to have missed the significance of L.J. Rogers in this story.

For many you are correct. I can confirm, through my own observation, that many, not all, are controlled by fear, and fear of death is one of the most prevalent. Death is universal,…

Trying it out might lead to the cap getting accidentally sucked into the wind pipe. Please be careful. Edit spelling.

2013 Subaru Outback Main Reason: All wheel drive I had a couple bad experiences in the past not being able to get out with only moderately slippery roads.

In the early 90's I was visiting an industrial plant that had, in one building, a giant dehumidifier that was necessary for their process. My field work took me to the roof of that…

I read The City & the City by China Miéville. If I were to recommend it, it would be because the author's English vocabulary is so much fuller than my own. I had to keep a dictiona…

My personal view, as an industrial control systems engineer, is that so much of the world's production software requires teams of software professionals to monitor it and keep it w…

I am ten books into the Wings of Fire series by Tui T Sutherland because my grand daughter likes it. My main reason for liking it is that it gives me a glimpse of the type of anxie…

I think the question should go even deeper. There are so many fundamental axioms that must be accepted on faith alone. The question I usually start with is "Can anyone prove that n…

The anecdote I have is that one of my grand daughter's teeth are worse than my other grand children and grand nieces and nephews. She used RO water more than the others when she wa…

We made the offer on our current house without seeing it and I know several others in the same situation.

You are correct that those two movements are not completely contradictory. First, it must not be assumed that everyone who is pro-choice will always chose abortion. Second, neither…

The author brings up some important information that is not always easily noticed. The university should definitely setup a task force to look into the matter and give the author a…

You're right. I should not have judged like that and I apologize. What I should have said is that I have seen a lot of misplaced skepticism in this industry and I never really unde…

I agree. It really helps to read the description and not just the title. I have been in industrial controls since 1980, so I'm I'm not so quick to dismiss the introduction of the n…

I think in 500 years the sky should look like a blue and white dot outside of the window of the space craft.

> I think software engineering is vastly different from other kinds of engineering In that case, it kind of make me wonder if engineering is the proper label.

Partially agree, but over a lifetime, many of us need only open a few doors. Picking an area of study that opens the doors you will want to open at some unknown time in the future …

"I've done a bit of everything at this point" I wonder what everything includes. Does it include industrial process control, factory automation, manufacturing execution systems, ma…

I was impressed with the the look on King Arthur's face when he walked in on Guinevere and Lancelot in the movie First Knight. I'm not talking about the dialog; I can't even rememb…

That is not at all what I am saying. The thought that I am taking to task is that some people seem to think ‘myth’ is synonymous with ‘false.’ It is not.

One of my favorite myths is that an idea can be declared false simply because the science does not yet exist to prove it true. I think we all have beliefs that have not yet been ve…
