The racism that I've come in contact with (in corporate settings at least) is towards people from India. Not people born here and of Indian descent, but people from India with Indi…

It's pretty hard to get the (now increased) recommended allowance for vitamin D (600 IUs ... especially as an indoor-programmer-type). You need 10 glasses of milk to get that witho…

The diet changed, and more then compensated for the exercise change.

My lawyer (a tax attorney) said this is rarely prosecuted on independent contractors who are themselves incorporated (along with things like actually have a contract etc). From my …

"People still need what they need and want what they want and are going to buy those things regardless of what relative prices will be in the future." What about "investors" instea…
