T'is but a fly speck.  You should see the environmental costs of concrete.....everywhere.

There has to be a huge dollop of luck helping a shot at such extreme distances.  Still, it's grounds for a whoop and a high-five.

This has to be fake news. They only tackled the perp and didn't firehose him with bullets. "Everyone knows (read 'Lyle')" that cops kill ethnicities and blacks by the handful for reasons much less ...

I'm not clear on how a wall will keep Muslim girls from being killed.

The definition of racism has been argued strenuously in academe for decades now.  Everyone thinks he/she has a handle on it's meaning or intent, or it's badness, better than others who have ...

I just saw my first horsehair worm.  It was amazing.  I went to the computer, found out what is was with my search syntax, and found that it is lethal pretty much only to grasshoppers and other ...

I haven't read any of the other posts, so if I duplicate.........sorry. I don't like seeing butts.  It's like seeing snotty discarded Kleenex or soiled disposable diapers left roadside. What really ...

Slovenia, and Bled specifically.  Beautiful gem of a spot, complete with island in the middle of a lake on which a very old church rests.  I had been with peacekeeping forces in Bosnia, and was ...

Pretty sure most of that could be laid at the feet of the previous president. IOW, it is a standing problem, is growing as a problem that no life or medical insurance is going to slow down. Not ...

Zuckerber, Gates, Bezos, etc. The people you name are employees of those listed above.  The rest of us only matter in that we provide them all with their market/sample set.

I am constantly amazed at what some people insist is humour.  Doesn't matter on what side of the philosophical divides they fall, right, left, high, low, some people give me pause.  This is one of ...

None of the above.  Pay people a reasonable and living wage.  While there will be many envious viewers desiring entry from abroad, those who live here will actually feel like competing for work ...

So your scat don't stink?  Really. Depends.  Who wants to know? Try different light.  The one you've been using isn't working.

That would make it teleological. Consquentialist means the act is right if it produces the desired/optimal/maximum hedon result. IOW, the result justifies the means, as in utilitarian ethics. Deont ...

Who is denying it? It is in FACING the truths that we lend impetus to this very late act. We're just taking away the dignity it was trying to accrue to itself. Apparently, you feel the statues ...

Neither.  Head, hands, knees, elbows. Thanks for operationalizing the term close quarters.  For me, anything more than it takes to draw my weapon, take the safety off, cock the action, aim, and ...

Not even remotely applicable here.  The cretin reached through those in front of him running interference and smacked an opposing player on the head with a metal bike lock shank (not the entire ...

Incorrect.  A sidearm of any kind is very useful, and MOST effective in the very conditions you say it won't be.   It's the reason most officers in modern armies are issued with a sidearm.  By the ...

That man has no scruples, no balls, and no honour.  As soon as the damning video was posted on youtube, he began to whine, to whinge, to beg for understanding, and to ask people to accept his ...
