    Yes because all the teenagers reading Marxist works are well adjusted and based in reality. It's humorous how debased from reality John roger's quote is. It doesn't challenge Rand'…

    Reminds me of how they archived data in blade runner with librarys full of little crystals as optical storage. With Sony soon to stop making blue ray it makes me fearful in what to…

    Let's be honest. The mental gymnastics to avoid calling it a rescue is just a political knee jerk reaction to Elon Musk's ownership in SpaceX. If you lose your ability to become ob…

    This is definitely true. I find there's a certain irony in society that we condemn people who aren't sceptical of anything until they are then we condemn them again. Some of the wo…

    I had a friend recently tell me about how his excess power is put back into the grid and how he hopes our area sees negative rates eventually like this. My cynical side was quick t…

    One of favorite pastimes out here in the northwest is getting old books from pay by the pound thrift stores. I've found over the years at anything past the 1880s people find worth …

    I like the cyber deck in theory but a project I've always wanted to take on that I felt would yield more value is to restore and upgrade an old ruggedized laptop. I planned a proje…

    I have this same issue. I just wanted to be able to put my thoughts to paper. Especially ToDo notes when the boss is verbally listing out everything they want you to do off the top…

    I do find this to be somewhat true as well. Most tech journalists make news for everyday people and not really for people and not for technical professionals. There's some holdouts…

    My guess would be that men aren't selective as women. Therefore, for the handful of men that most women find generally attractive the effect is a lot easier to measure. Yes men can…
