@orbface9: Time Warner and their Roadrunner Cable service are abysmal. The connections are so over-stretched, you can never hit anything near their peak. In my area, they advertise 15Mbps+ with their premium service. You shell out an extra $30 a month, and during peak usage, you'd be lucky to hit 1.4Mbps.

@Fighter-of-the-Nightman: I understand what you are saying, and yes, I could have waited. But I didn't begin trying to voice a concern or question her competence, I simply wanted to understand the objectives of the class. It seemed the appropriate time to question those objectives would be while she was explaining…

@Jake712: Your absolutely right. If it's a general health supplement, in the US, you are not required to gain FDA approval.

@shallnot:

Straying a bit off topic here, but I recently read an article on the placebo effect in weight loss pills I found to be very interesting.

@Chris Thomas:

@Han Kim:

By far, the most enlightening class I ever took was an English class (which I subsequently left after the first day). While it didn't teach me much about the subject, it opened my eyes to the extreme political and philosophical bias in many of our colleges today. A bias that rewards those who agree with the doctrine…

@Stephen Rice: "Presumably the chart was physically possible for the 50 year range it covered."

Awesome, I never thought of this, but I have 4lbs of Habanero powder from last season to use up, so this should make for a nice bar snack.

"Look at my chart", said the liar to the fool.

@Cornflower: It's not a hard rule at all. The article is misleading on that point. I have a Mastercard that starts with "4" and a Discover card that starts with "1". The rule applies to debit cards, personal and business cards. Depending on which company you use and type of account, you may get something…

@Kate Lamendola: Yes, I worked for several years with municipal waste management. While I remain an advocate of recycling's potential, I can state to a fact that most of it is actually detrimental to the environment and not cost effective. The only way around this would be to invest very heavily in infrastructure.…

@Tokeloshe: In theory, I don't see why not. They would be a real pain to align. The problem is you have no room to overlay the images as the lenses are not typically that standard. If one is warped just a bit, you would not notice with one projection, but with 2 overlaid it would become blurry. Side by side, the…

@Pwnguins: Actually, recycling glass in most rural communities is not at all beneficial to the environment. Quite the opposite. The fuel required to collect and mechanically sort the empties alone exceeds the energy required to make new glass. The pressure of being in a landfill on the other hand crushes the waste…

@tuxus: Amen to that. I make my own mead, so there are never any old bottles around here. A cheap carboy and a $60 bench corker, they'd be in business.

Nah, homeowners associations are run by communist assholes, not worth the trouble. They have the right to decorate their home as distastefully as they choose. You in turn have the right to ridicule them endlessly, or respond in kind. Decorate the tree in your yard with "recycled" condoms and tampons, that'll get…

Clever?! They repurposed their own waste. Intellectually, that puts them in the company of insects and rodents who do the same. It would be clever if it even remotely worked for the purpose they've chosen, but it doesn't.

@Nate Batchelder:

@Crossstick: Hey, I'm critical of this idea too, but give them some credit, at least they took the time to bury their trash.
