Incorrect. Life span is the maximum possible time an organism can live. For humans it is around 122-125 years. You are referring to life expectancy - that is to say, the average life a person may expect to live, based on current conditions.

Actually, the natural human life span is approximately 125 years. We have not yet found a way to artificially increase our lives beyond that point.

I completely agree, and at the end of the day, pricing was really only a bonus to the Nexus line. The real draw was, and will always be, a pure Android experience, instant updates and full support directly from Google.

I get the feeling that Google’s going to aim for a different echelon than we ‘ve seen with the Nexus brand this time around. For starters, they’re really advertising it. That’s new. Usually the announcement is relatively low-key and ads for the phone itself are sparse. Now, the advertising for the announcement is more…

“Finally, we’ve told you how easy it can be to score a lower rate—all it takes is a phone call.”

HD call quality is already available if you call another phone on the same carrier network with AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile provided that you both have phones which support whatever that carrier is calling the technology. T-Mobile calls theirs HD Voice, and I can personally verify that the quality difference is…

You can start with this one when you enter the room.

I mean, you’re not wrong. Not eating there is the best thing you can do, but I still think there’s some merit in skipping“fried stuff with cheese” appetizers.

My guess, an educated one, is they are drug addicts trying to support their habit. A more humane and inexpensive way to address crime related to addiction is treatment. And since addiction is a disease and crime is a symptom of that disease, it seems to me treatment is the only reasonable solution.

That’s like saying “I smoke 3 times a day and each time I say to myself ‘time to quit’. I avoided smoking till about 3 years ago, so I could live without it again” But yeah... you’re still smoking o_o

You seem to have misunderstood the statement “a prison-based judicial system”. What I believe Anna was saying, please correct me if I’m wrong. Is that our judicial system put’s sentence ahead of reform. We focus on punishment for breaking the law rather than correcting the illegal behavior or curing the problem that…

I have so many incarcerated clients who are prevented from having contact with their children by child welfare...for no good reason. Driving a toddler for an hour to visit her father in a safe playroom designed for kids is NOT an imposition. But for state intervention, the family could take the kid whenever possible…

Probation is actually incredibly onerous for the defendant. You usually end up having to hold down work (or have a damn good reason why that’s not possible), you often have to comply with drug testing, nowadays you can have GPS monitoring mandating when you should be home, community service obligations. Plus…

Well the idea is that if they weren’t going to prison, and instead serving probation together at home, they would still be together with their child...

Not sending people to prison for non-violent crimes is not that radical an idea, actually.
