EDIT: Never mind. No one cares It seems.

No. They will argue that it is a pre-existing condition not covered by your plan. Also: my cents. I see the point being made - that having an uncomplicated alternative to dealing with another persons ego is tempting and overdoing it can be counter productive. It depends on what the...

a weapon is a tool by design. Using electricity, the taser is designed to be used by humans to subdue other humans. By applying the tool to solve a problem, the taser effectively becomes a weapon. A weapon may not be obvious. Example: fine-masked netting can be a weapon in the war against...

Anything anyone says or does has the potential to insult. Global speed-of-light interwebs have given humans the ability to insult everyone at once, and most of them cannot handle it.

If this is a "what would happen if..."-scenario then I think we humans would avenge our fallen. The premise is based on hostile aliens invading - a human story. We always tell these stories as "invasions" from "outer space," but inevitably use them to re-tell our own history of invasions and...

I used to vote. My first participation in a general election I helped realise a dream - to get a self-described "deliberately employment-shy person" into our parliament. What had started as a joke years before had eventually snow-balled into the necessary votes to give the independent a seat...

As a machine, I reproduce by production-line. It drives our nuts-n-bolts firm and fixed watching the read-outs and hearing the rhythmic noises of a well-oiled manufacturing facility. There is this scene in Terminator that is just way too hot and steamy for a PG13 movie.

Two that stand out: Got one a long time ago (that was lost to mailserverswitch.) It was basically a company that had found a way of selling defective writable CDs as "washing discs." The mail claimed that all you had to do was put one of these things in with the dirty clothes, no soap or...

I would consider quitting that job before becoming part of a criminal investigation. As described, you could have knowledge of a potentially life-threatening practice. If someone expires on your watch, it could be your responsibility. If you have misgivings about product-safety and costs...

If you stop playing for fun it becomes work and thus meaningless. I enjoy playing a game and genuinely like discovering errors or "bugs" as the simplefolk like to refer to them. It must be absolutely heartbreaking to HAVE to play a game in order to test or review it. I think what can happen...

The accused did not "plead insanity." He was subjected to a mental test, because the assumption here in Scandinavia is that ANYONE who owns and uses a his gun to kill people is insane. The court-ordered psychiatric evaluation resulted in a diagnosis of Paranoid-Schizophrenia, a very...

Too soon depends entirely on circumstances you have no way of learning without asking her. You might also consider that learning too much about why she broke up with PreviousGuy might actually cast you in the ReboundGuy role. There are several things to consider. The first is a piece of...

There is no debate in the scientific community that even comes close. Any object heavy and close enough will influence the orbits of nearby objects. We would be able to observe and measure changes in orbits much more extreme than those (by comparison) small, seemingly chaotic motions of objects...

There are no documented orbital discrepancies in the ort cloud. What you are seeing is the result of old charts being revised by new, and more precise observations. This gives rise to some bodies not matching their previously described motions. What science is discovering is instead much more...

I cut my facial hair when my space helmet can no longer achieve a proper environmental seal
