I think google search results are pretty bad these days. A lot of times the top results are pages that are ad-ridden and don’t contain the actual info I was looking for. Granted, m…

I never said it was a great idea. I said that equating it with a one in six change of instant death is a bit dramatic.

I know another anecdote won’t help you but when I read this it immediately rang true to me. > Smoking cigarettes is first and formost an anxiety suppression mechanism This describe…

Almost everyone I know binge drinks from time to time.. You are right that it’s better not to but calling it Russian roulette is a pretty big overstatement.

This law is intended to make large amounts of cash less useful without killing the utility of smaller amounts. If large amounts of cash become less useful that makes money launderi…

This is what blendle.com does. I expected them to be a bigger success than are, retrospectively as well. I guess that’s why I’m not an entrepreneur. :)

> Uber and airbnb created value using technology by solving many pain points of consumers. I don’t think this is as the USP airbnb was going for. Companies like Booking.com, trifag…

It should be easy to distribute RHEL back to ACME Linux via a detour right? I mean another company could distribute it to to ACME and and hide that with limited repercussions. I gu…

Parisians generally don’t travel by car.

This isn’t advice. People get a lot older nowadays. I recon food(safety and available) makes a big contribution to that. Moderns food is pretty good. Just keep your diet varied and…
