That's good news - the headphone jack is essential to me, but the reason that my next phone won't be a Samsung is because Samsung disables Android's native multiple user profile fe…

Not all of us, but the majority of us do.

The majority of the English like strong, essentially unopposed governance. They like be to be able to choose the g'vner occasionally, but they don't want multiple powerful factions…

Well the LibDems are going to say that but they are not going to win. The other two parties aren't - Labour is going split in half. The Tories might see defections, but will stay t…

It's mostly done for economic reasons, but there is a social aspect to sharing too. More so on couchsurfing than airbnb, and i generally prefer to chat to a part time uber driver t…

Yup, some folks can have the occasional drink or drink socially. Some folks need to swear off the stuff entirely. For carboholics, probably swearing off refined carbs would be enou…

You can get high on carbs or alcohol sure enough. Try getting high on protein or fat though. Telling carboholics they need to eat less food is like telling alcoholics they need to …

I'm enthusiastic about the potential for this technology but I don't like either of these options. I feel like both the customer and the product. I'd like an open source, neutral v…

Have you heard of Ceres - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceres_(dwarf_planet) I learned of it recently and it was like learning of a new planet.

Probably something to do with the market supplying what the customer wants, and the customer being uneducated. Like me . . . If I had seen a 26 inch high desk when I was purchasing…

I'm sitting here with my keyboard in my lap. I've recently noticed it is a lot more comfortable too. I'm alternating with keyboard on lap to mouse on lap depending on what I'm doin…

Thanks, I may switch partially to a standing desk, but I do wonder how much of the gain could be achieved with a correctly adjusted sitting desk.

Thanks for the detailed reply. If, at 5'10, I am experiencing problems related to desk height, I can only imagine problems are worse for those shorter. I wonder if there is a corre…

Thanks, that's very interesting to me but not quite what I had in mind. I'm thinking modern era, where the sims have links to an outside world - so some sims would commute out of t…

I was thinking a contemporary village where villagers have cell phones, cars, social network accounts, hobbies, errands, illnesses, social functions etc. Human simulation at the le…

sure, but 'feline alarm system' is kind of vague - what type or model worked for you?

Thanks. I'd like to give that a try. Do you have a link to the type of model that has worked for you?

I'd like something that keeps pigeons off my balcony. Surprisingly little works. I have a motion detecting sonic alarm that doesn't work - maybe it's in the wrong frequency for pig…

This might be an effect of too much protein in a diet. If you are controlling for carbs, then the solution is to replace protein with more fat.

I find it convincing too. Check out the 'Big History' lecture series. Particularly the lecture on the transition to agriculture. I was inclined to think that humans transitioned to…
