Seeing as 75% of all startups fail, the fact that 44% of those carmakers are still around is actually rather astounding. Whoops! Did I just put your statistics into perspective thereby reversing the meaning? My bad.

It always surprises me how sore my knees get after a jog or even a long walk. Comparatively, if I run for the same amount of time as otherwise, but I add in just a few minutes of sprinting throughout (or even just at the end), my knees hurt much less. I'm not really sure why.

I've been intentionally wearing ties that don't match the shirt I'm wearing recently. The odd thing is, I also keep getting complimented on my ties when I do it. The lesson: just because it doesn't fit within the "rules" doesn't mean it can't look good.

I've found a very helpful way to end procrastination is to get rid of the phrase "I need to." Replace it with "I will." At least for me, when I stop saying, "I need to do the dishes," and say, "I will do the dishes," I'm forced to decide when I'll do it as well. Whether it's right away, or later that day, or the next…

Nature vs nurture is almost always bullshit. Especially in psychology. There is nothing with a 100% heritability rate, and nothing with a 0%. Hell, even eye color - something very highly correlated to genetics - can be altered based on the environment (e.g., someone with the brown eye genotype can end up with blue…

Clearly the author does not have hair on their feet and lower legs. Or has never tried to sleep in socks with hair on their feet and lower legs.

If you find out a way to sign up without an iDevice, you should update the article (or just reply to my comment!). I'd like to try it out, but don't use anything iOS.

The day my NEX-3 was stolen was one of the saddest days of my life. OK, that's a bit over dramatic, but I loved that camera. Still saving up to replace it with an NEX-6

This is exactly what my doctor recommended for me to do. It's a huge pain in the ass some days, but it's worth it when your sleep schedule doesn't go all to shit just because of one night a week. Also, since you're out drinking, try to get all of your drinking done well before you go to bed - ideally 4 hours before,…

Spoilers on a car that doesn't need them. How could you leave that off? My favorite thing is seeing a small, cheap (otherwise un-modded), front-wheel-drive car that has a huge spoiler on it. Whatcha need all that downforce for, there sport?

The 84" 4K TV is an LED-backlit LCD, not an OLED TV, as per their PR. You may have known that, but your wording makes it sound like the 84" is an OLED TV.

Maybe it's Mr Mint or Queen Frostine?

I look at it this way. With good tires that you keep well-maintained, you can drive on any roads. But good roads will make your tires last longer and need less maintenance.

How about the exact same legislation that they passed in Australia, which DIDN'T ban all guns, which was what you asserted was the only way to stop shooting sprees?

First off, I made absolutely zero mention of any sort of gun regulation. I was responding to an idiotic comment that implied the assertion that because no one he knows who owns guns thinks of going on a rampage, that no one ever will. Which is an argument from anecdotal evidence, and a logical fallacy.

Serial monogamy - being faithful to one person for some span of time, then moving on to another later - is actually how we are wired. Both men and women have hormones that cause the brain to "bond" to a person for 2-4 years, which is about the minimum length of time it would have taken for a young human to survive…

And your anecdotal evidence based on conclusions you've drawn from things people have said to you is absolutely air-tight proof that people who own guns don't go on shooting sprees. Whew! I'm so glad that we'll never see another shooting spree.

:)

I'm one of a very, very few, I'm aware, but I quite like the Panamera. Especially in matte black. I understand everyone's complaints about it, but in my opinion it's strikingly different, while still holding on to Porsche's iconic styling.

Nice way to cherry pick your data. For one thing, guns actually are not any more likely to protect you than other forms of self defense [1, 2], so the fact that you found one instance where a woman used a gun to protect her family does not mean it's the best way to do it. Firearms are actually used more often to…
