I think it’s time for all nations that want to participate in the Olympics to pony up a few dollars, euros, pounds, shekels, rupees, etc. and give them to Greece, where a permanent dedicated Olympic Village will be built. Greece has no money, but they can donate land. Building it will help the Greek economy. (Why…

Man, remember when Discovey had actual educational/informative programming? I’m old.

Studies have shown repeatedly, in spite of how much people complain about being uncomfortable on flights, price is (effectively) the only driver when it comes to actually making ticket selection.

That’s how spirit airlines stays alive... I’ve heard many a horror story about them.

62 mph in my 1981 Corolla felt like 110 in my Sienna.

No, it isn’t. Roman concrete structures are still standing because they have absurd amounts of material used in their construction, which is because the Romans had no better way of designing things. Modern concrete crumbles in the time frame you mention because that is the minimum or near-minimum that it can be…
