Yes, but today, bald men can be leading men. I think Yul Brynner was the first bald man to kiss a woman in the movies. Now, Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson and dozens of others are the hot icons on film.

I’ve a theory that men who wore hats in the fifties also use bad hair products like vitalis and did not wash their hair regularly. Perhaps some combination of chemical soup that brewed under the hat made more men in the fifties go bald. How else can you explain how common bald men were as non-leading men on tv and in…

As expected, it is not people who have experienced an epiphany that voting for Reggie Van Dough is not in their interest (Really, @Haynes_Sandi, you thought Trump was the one to fix gender income inequality!!!). The regrets will be from extremists who don’t get 100% of muslims, mexicans, and liberals deported…

The correct response when aliens knock on your spacecraft is to say:

I’m going to disagree with the premise of this post, a little.

Setting aside the insanely fubar nature of the situation, I think the interesting thing from a psychological standpoint will be whether Trump listens to the demon on his shoulder telling him to be public so he can receive the feedback from his adoring white-power fanbase or the demon on his other shoulder that tells…

Part of me agrees with you. It’s rarely a good bet to wager on the courage of corporations.

Beth,

This scheme suggests one positive outcome, that the person cooking will be motivated to contain the cooking mess, suggests without merit that the partner will do some rando assigned task, and most importantly ignores equally bad outcomes.

Terrifyingly Awesome!

Why not just leave an ice cube on a shelf or tray? Still melts, still obvious, requires no coinage.

A) This is a stupid rule.

Nowhere did I indicate how I roll, nor advocate rolling one way or the other. In fact, I called people professing dog saliva is bacteria free idiots and compared a dog licking your face like eating moldy cheese. I addressed the distortion of facts about dog saliva. BS health scare information is promoted to justify…

Are we doing this uninformed topic again???

Since you find it interesting, I will add that the ‘current’ time immersion phenomenon is also why a story with several short flashbacks (‘current’ to ‘historical’ time) is harder to follow (or just more irritating) than, say, a time-travel story (always in the POV character’s ‘current’ time). Longer flashbacks are…

This can be true for IRL storytelling, but is absolutely not true for fiction. Unlike IRL, fiction relies on a narrator to present the events to the reader, in effect, making mere details into a performance. IRL, the speaker can take the place of the performance aspect, but in a novel, Present Tense hamstrings the…

I have blank CDs and DVDs as well. Problem is, I have to give files to people with notebooks, which no longer have DVD drives. If I’m fixing problems for them, then they may not even have Internet access. Flash drives are the only currently universal medium.

The funny thing is, as a techie and computer consultant, I have plenty of high capacity drives and storage cards. What I need is something to replace floppies: small, cheap, disposable storage I can just give put a few files on and give away to friends or clients and not worry whether I get it back. It is really hard…

Firstly, good reference with Maxwell. Many would have gone with more familiar or accessible references like Tesla or Einstein or Faraday.

You did not strike me where I am weakest. I am neither a child, nor intellectually challenged. And your Sun Tzu quote is yet another example of stating the obvious. I seriously doubt every other military adviser of his era was writing “Strike where your opponent is strongest. Yeah, that’s totally the best way to…
