The lesson from history is that dictators (especially the muahahaha evil ones) love any and all censorship (that they control of course).  Free the internet!

I agree. The EU loves to be the babysitter.  The road to hell is paved with well intentioned legislation.

That’s not funny. Cancer has limited treatments (chemo, radiation) but an eating disorder is psychological and the physical issues can definitely be treated successfully. I’m not saying it’s easy but it can be managed.

I’m wondering why you can set the iPad keyboard to ignore sliding to the next key but not the iPhone?  I make 10x as many typing mistakes on the phone because if you tap a key and then slightly move your finger you end up with an adjacent key.  On the iPad it’s possible to disable this action.

It’s easy to type fast on a phone...as long as you don’t use capitals, punctuation or any sort of grammar.

Because stereotyping people is fun.

The only “line items” on a restaurant bill should be the meal, the sales tax and the tip. Even then, I don’t see why they can’t just roll it all up into one number. Wouldn’t it be nice to order the $20 sushi plate and pay exactly $20?

Only as long as she doesn’t get to carry a gun or be a cop anymore.

You can feel relieved.  Justice being served objectively is always a good thing.

Comments like these are the reason that the price of a barely used NSX (still under warranty) will be within my price range very soon. Thanks!

This pisses me off. The problem is all the really terrific dogs just languishing on a cement floor in a shelter cage. We have eight adopted dogs from 6 lbs to 85 lbs. Way too many of our well-heeled neighbors have some sort of doodle that they paid big bucks for. It’s quite sad actually. If people would just…

People like feeling secure and people also get bored.

True but I think the high real estate costs in those areas have far more to do with the extreme upscale demand of SF and NYC but with nowhere to expand to due to the geography. High real estate prices convert apartment buildings to condos.

I don’t know if this is a cultural thing because sometimes, especially at restaurants with a theme or that are up and coming, you get overly attentive staff trying to give you an “experience”. IMHO, I don’t need my water glass filled to the brim every few minutes and don’t even think of touching my coffee (which is…

National rent control will cause home prices to crater.  Basic economics.

This means there’s a bit of a learning curve to understanding how to control all of the interior functions.

I have a problem with his age. In fact, I think the upper limit should be 60. After that the body and mind are tired and just want to play golf, go fishing or simply just watch TV and take a nap. Not to mention around that age the brain starts losing cognitive and memory function and it’s pretty much all downhill.

The problem is people have this misguided notion that you need to go to an expensive college to succeed in life. This is simply not true.

5. I’ll take one, please.

The problem becomes apparent when a kitchen worker cuts off a digit and then sues the restaurant because they were playing distracting music.
