Depends. Can I opt for the $100k income and then move to the $60k neighborhood?

You got me curious as to what was being read/watched on first class.

Sure, you can express pretty much any concept from a foreign language in English, and vice-versa if the language is thorough enough. What you lose is the power and conciseness that…

Usually, the people who espouse such views are never the speakers of dying tongues. I'm not saying your view is the wrong one, or that it isn't rational. The sentence in the beginn…

Im brazilian and I just laughed out loud on this one. Indeed, be careful with that one.

If you're talking about contemporary literature, then maybe, as I wouldn't know much about recent stuff. If not, then you're... I don't even know what to call it... to dismiss the …

Well, if he said "If we want to lead our lives the best way possible, then you ought to read this and this, not that" it would still be pretentious. Is it really clear cut that one…

Oh, it's because it's Kafka, so it has to be some good advice! edit: typo

I have zero tech friends. Zero. Not one of my friends cares about privacy. Never have for as long as they have started using email in the late 90's. Me, I just gave up trying to ra…

I don't get people who don't get this ;-) Imagine if it got to the point where the whole 50m fresstyle race was won by reamining underwater full time. Gone would be the frantic fla…

The history of scurvy is pretty interesting: http://mentalfloss.com/article/24149/how-scurvy-was-cured-th...

When I was a child in the 80's in Brazil this was still widespread. I remember walking over a relatively short friend of mine (we were both around 8 years old) and his grandmother …

By the way, why would dentists be "cracked out" on amphetamines? Is it a very competitive field or are the hours terrible for a dentist in the US? (I also thought it was a bit over…

To all you western europeans complaining: come down to Brazil, and I'll take you on a tour of our "Top Ten Most Abandoned-Halfway Billion Dollar Government Works" ;-) Oh, and just …

> A picture is worth a thousand words A famous writer from my country had a good quote about that: "A picture is worth a thousand words. Now say that with a picture."

There are literally dozens of alternative school models throughout the world, and I've done research on a lot of them when I had my kids. What I found was broad and varied. Differe…

This depends greatly on what type of sport was practiced for 20 years.

Not all physically active careers are dangerous. Off the top of my head I can think of mail carrier, garbage collector, movers.

This is what I do also. I go for the 3-star. If I read a 3-star that seems legit and indicates the person really evaluated the product, I even look at their other reviews, as their…

Yeah... 3 iPhones a year... what? Care to explain why?
