What you can't tell from photos or even footage is that, in person, in real life, the guy's head is about 1/3rd of his entire height. It's a marvel of physics that he's able to support it and walk upright. I have never in my life seen anyone else with a noggin so disproportionately large compared to the rest of his or…

I had chicken pox three times, but seem to be completely immune to herpes. Any guess what my odds of getting shingles might be?

Well, as we heard the cops in Austin say via their car camera, "What do you want me to do? I can't unrape you" and that seems to be the prevailing attitude of law enforcement towards justice for assault victims.

No, this is interesting to me; we don't get much in-depth world news coverage, much less insights into other countries' specific economic dynamics, so I appreciate your sharing this with me. I have never been to Brazil, but went to school with with a handful of people from there. The polarities I'm aware of in your…

How does something get classified as a luxury good? And wouldn't most companies try to fight that labeling since it would presumably reduce their profits? Given those markups, I can't imagine why any Brazillian would ever buy an Apple product. Are there Brazillian made electronics brands you can get without the crazy…

Oh, okay; I knew there were issues getting things like MacBooks in Brazil, but didn't realize that extended to more utilitarian items like routers. So does the supply problem extend to really all or most electronics? In the US, the problems with ISP provided routers extend beyond bad, old devices and rental fees into…

You sure about that? I have fiber that connects to my ISP's ONT in my basement and then snakes up the side of the house to my AirPort Extreme on the 2nd Floor. Many clueless reps tried to force me to pay rental fees for their garbage, decade old router, but it's not necessary at all with FTTH — I could skip the router…

I was an exchange student in Salamanca. Where did you go?

Paper still does everything, for now. It's the only fb app I use. If they destroy it, I'll just have to use the website; there are health groups that I unfortunately need to be a member of and private messaging is part of those communities. One without the other is completely useless.

I was in Park City in '99 and at that point my understanding was that there we no actual bars. There were Mormon membership clubs where members could drink while listening to religious passages read out loud by the bar tender, a few places that had the booze with food rules and we wound up, one night, at an illegal,…

How do you suggest punishing and rehabilitating someone who doesn't know where he is half the time and is in a continued mental decline? The person who abused his power, his public goodwill and these women's bodies is effectively already dead with his body simply running on fumes.

You don't have to use iTunes. All the developer needs is the UDID and then they can give the download URL to the target. I have Beta'd several apps this way.

You're incorrect. Less is only correctly used to modify a singular noun. In all other instances few, fewer and fewest are correct.

Fewer not less.

I don't find anything laudatory about sociopathic callousness; it takes much more strength of character to be kind and vulnerable than it does to be dismissive, egocentric and cruel.

I've been searching for about four years and in both the Mid-West and along the Pacific Coast for a furniture shop that actually has Varier's Thatsit w/ Backrest and Gravity Balans in their showroom. None of the dozen or so shops Varier has listed as selling their products actually do. When I contacted them about…

Backpack. I'm a small person with a lot of physical health issues that have destroyed my neck and mid-back as well my tendons, so essentially wearing what I need to bring with me is a lot less painful than having to make repetitive bending and lifting motions.

The Commerce Team has no interest in the quality of the crap they shill.

That cat would be somewhat less awful if it had a tortoise shell to cover its glistening skin.

They should keep it somewhere there isn't so much straw around to stick to it.
