Your soldiers come here to train and vice versa. Do you do that with Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Egypt, Saudia Arabia, Turkey, Malaysia, China, Russia? I’d say we’re your ally.

I wonder if holographic idols count as idolatry...

can you really make $10k back so quickly from YouTubing? Impressive!

Very moving. I think it would be great if everyone treated their children with the respect this man gave his dog, even if the children don’t jump up excitedly every time he comes in. Dogs are a lot less work than kids, but our children are our legacy and the investment in them is paramount.

EVERYONE in this video is appalling. Including the guy with the camera, and all the spectators who do nothing to break it up, not to mention the lack of security personnel. Completely lacking all the things that are good in humanity.

Innovation would be finding a better catch phrase than “just like that” I’m actually breathing easier now that he’s done talking.

Nice point - my parents live overseas from us, and my wife’s parents are older. Her mom helped out a bit at home.

Thanks for writing. We had 2 dulas there (1 was a backup since the other wasn’t certain she would make it) and a licensed doctor as I wrote in the post. He came from far away, though, and the birth progressed quicker than we anticipated. We definitely didn’t feel hopeless, just irresponsible, especially since the…

C-sections have become more than just an emergency delivery method - many women choose them as a matter of convenience.

We use it for making Torah scrolls, mezuza parchments, and other Jewish holy writings. I’ve been in a similar factory in Israel where the parchments are prepared but a bit differently - when the skin is still stretched, they use an orbital sander to smooth out the parchment.

This makes me wonder how much my Apple IIe, Newton 100, and Macintosh Classic are worth.

If they would add the Dolby THX intro, I think it would be perfect:

This bike looks nice, but balance bikes won me over a long time ago.

These are all unquestionably awful stories. My own story is a good one though - PayPal completely protected me from LogMeIn’s new pricing structure. About 3 years ago, LogMeIn did away with their free services. I had about 250 computers in my account so paying the new $300 per year charge was a no-brainer. They told…

Not good enough to get me away from Gmail and Google Docs, but looking nice!

Apparently others (i.e. their names are blacked out in this document) were using non-governmental email as well: http://osint.info/index.php?titl… simple Google search...

People have a tough time believing in G-d, but they can believe a broken piece of rock that is a sliver of a boulder, must be a hand made tool?

I think you missed what I missed - you can only use the digits 1-9 and each once. Here we go again.

This sounds like a plot from a movie - POTUS demands encryption backdoor, a few years later terrorists demand the backdoor codes in exchange for prisoners, or even worse, someone with the codes defects. How could they even consider it a real option?
