    Seems kind of like a no brainer given what we know about skin cancer, but I'm kind of surprised if you control for that if it had any other great "opportunity" to increase your lif…

    This is incorrect. Israel is at war with Hamas and they aren't holding back, and there is a large difference between what is going on and genocide. If Israel wanted to commit genoc…

    In some cases (some spark plugs are what I can think of) explicitly tell you NOT to grease them, as that will let you over-torque them and potentially damage threads (aluminum head…

    Did you torque every bolt every time before every flight?

    Being a fat guy, I disregard that during flight other than takeoff, landing, and turbulence. I drive to work on most days, and the chance that I die that way is FAR, FAR higher tha…

    The adult sites will simply move offshore where the country trying to stop the flow of information doesn't have jurisdictions. It's whack-a-mole. The only solution is that parents …

    It's up to parents to lock down their kids from tech they shouldn't be accessing, the rest of us shouldn't be harassed and inconvenienced for that. I hate to beat a dead horse, but…
