Don't feed the trolls... I mean seriously, your argument is the one the authorities considered; it's sad, but given that healthcare workers have been infected from people in quarantine, it's just irresponsible to quarantine an animal. I'm a dog lover and grew up with them, and I think there is alot of dangerous ebola…

I think timing can be a big factor... like for example I was at a potluck this week that happened early on a weeknight, and so I did not have time to cook for an hour between work and the event, and yeah me and alot of people just brought a bottle. Sunday nights early I've had the best luck, I think because then you…

Benzoyl Peroxide- depending on which country you live in, there's the Clearasil you can just buy from Duane Read, or you may need to visit the doctor and get a prescription for said face lotion (Canada, maybe other countries).

Also make sure the soap you're using isn't too harsh. It's always a balance, and like I'm…

Nah- you trusted your first instinct, and that's the right call. If it was borderline racist, you really don't want that associated with your name: the internet has a long memory, and it realistically could very much affect whether a future client considers you for a job. Professionally and morally it definitely…

It's designed to stop small caliber rounds (handguns), and also to protect against shrapnel from nearby explosions (hence the dip in the back to protect the neck).

The problem is that rifle rounds are really only stopped by really heavy plate armour; normal bullet-proof vests (like those worn by the army and police)…

I think "feminism" is a pretty broad label these days... I know the specific argument of "men can't be feminists because they don't experience the struggle" was a particular school of second-wave feminism, and but feminism as it presently functions isn't a unified movement: there are feminists who would continue to…

Not sure how to read it, but is it possible that their "new pronunciation" actually makes it sound more like the German pronunciation?

You also wonder, like who doesn't look/feel terrible after an 8 hour transatlantic flight?

It's true... the ballooning of university administrations has become in many ways an unchecked civil service- subsisting off public money with little accountability. I don't even know what the solution is... because I've seen it both in public Canadian systems and private American ones. Universities can be run by…

Yeah, Turkey is also viewing a Kurdish state in Iraq as a potential buffer zone between them and crazy stuff. As for Syria... I mean it's kind of understandable that Turkey is reluctant, given that there's still an ongoing civil war involving chemical weapons, and Assad has a real conventional army with anti-airpower…

Apocalyptic stories and preparations have always been key features of Western religious texts, along with the belief that the end is coming within our lifetimes. I think alot of our ancestors would be surprised to hear that in 2014 "it" hadn't happened yet.

It was probably a copyright case.

I think (in the past at least), they've been cheaper than the high-end Macbooks and still packed alot of power with a very big screen; my university always had them in labs for photo and video editing and I always found them really quick... but yeah, I dunno how these super-thin ones are gonna really have any…

I think the first problem with Ello is that it doesn't actually bring anything new or have a specific purpose... like it doesn't offer a specialized photo platform like Instagram, or a unique text platform like Twitter, or some sort of specialized content aggregation like Tumblr or any number of other platforms, it…

It's your house, and given that you still have panic attacks- it's entirely reasonable to deny someone who could trigger those, especially if you think he's going to be picking fights. On the other hand- I feel like at a family gathering you kinda have to give people a pass on politics... it never ends well, and…

Be honest- did they send down on a boat to search for the previous company man, "Captain Curtis" who went missing a few months before?

In fairness you don't have to go far outside a city for the jeans thing. I visited NJ for the first time, and hour from NY, and 10 minutes after stepping off the train someone made a comment about skinny jeans.

Don't open bill_paxton's picture; it's a graphic image of a murder scene. He's been posting it all over- not sure how the "report" system works. :/

Don't open the image by bill_paxton; it's a graphic picture of a murder scene. Dismiss the comment. I'm not sure how the "report" system works here. :/
