Maybe what we need is a Marshall Plan to revitalize the US economy

When we observe far off galaxies, we are looking into their distant past, but it is our present. The now we live in is not the same now as that we see in distant galaxies - many of those stars we see far away may have long ago gone supernova and disappeared into Black Holes. Those events, long...

Some people saw very far ahead

Let them eat cake....and fast food, too? What/who do mountain lions eat? Politicians/preachers who are not hypocrites? Professional Long distance / Marathon runners?

Are self-driving cars safe to buy yet? Are they AI driven?

Reminded of Tiffany in Terry Pratchett stories, the shepherd witch.

I read Stranger in a Strange Land a long time ago, and was impressed. Have reviewed discussions about it it recently and am less impressed. I find that true about most of Heinlein's stories. My childhood HS friends that continued on into college days also were impressed by Stranger in a...

Exercise is boring. I have always had a fast metabolism, but when I got over 70, my metabolism began to slow down, and I started gaining weight. I try to eat lightly.

I'm borderline between overweight and obese. BMI 29-30.5. OTOH, I'm already 84, a life long foodie/gourmand, and I want to get SOME joy out of life in my remaining lifetime. I don't really eat that much, but I don't do a lot of physical exertion. Another issue is that at my age, falling is...

The food vendor chooses the shipper, not the buyer. The buyer is stuck with whichever shipper the vendor chose.

Republicans want to do away with it. I recently ordered some perishable food from Goldbelly, which delivers using UPS. When the order was delivered, to the wrong address, with an accompanying photo of where it was dropped off, I saw at once that was not my house and sent UPS a response that...

You seem to be totally unaware of the rigid and outspoken intolerance of the Right in the US. That makes you seem to be utterly clueless.

Because he's a sadist and gets pleasure out of causing pain to other people. His supporters love watching those they consider to be elites and/or parasites being hurt by his actions.

These tests are a fucking joke. Who validated them? Many fully cognizant people, at any age, and many demented would fail them, and some who, demented or not, pass them but who validated them? On the base of what studies? I do not like DJ Trump, and think that he is mentally failing., But...

The American public does not have the highest moral standards. It never did, even back in the 1800s.

It's not an IQ test. They give you this kind of test in hospitals, when they re trying to determine if you are still mentally competent to make your own medical decisions about your care, or to reject their opinions.

Why have sizes at all? Why not just measure them in cm or inches? Clothes sizes ought to be an obsolete thing of the past.

This chart of shoes sizes appears on Amazon as guidance in buying shoes. It doesn't help me much anyway, since my usual size is 7.5, but I thought since it is stated in inches, it could serve. Can You tell me who has a foot 28.6 inches long? I presume they meant centimeters in the 2nd chart.
