Someone I lived with temporarily kept the processed parmesan cheese (the dusty stuff in a jar) in the cupboard instead of the fridge. It baffled me.

This is why people shouldn't need to have to choose between two 80 year old candidates

The presidency requires a lot of travel. If your performance and capabilities are significantly affected by jet lag, you probably shouldn't be the president of a large and powerful nation. I imagine Trump will be affected just as much by jet lag as well if he were elected.

I agree with copyright in a sense that people should have a chance to profit from their ideas before it gets stolen, but you are right that it is way too long of a term. It stymies creativity when people can milk the same idea for many decades.

I would think for creative license like an idea for a cartoon or comic, 10-20 years is more than enough. Then they should try and make new characters or start competing with others trying to improve the character.

These are the millennials who can afford to have kids. The rest don't have kids.

I pay most of my bills with my end of the month paycheck and the middle of the month paycheck is for necessities/savings/fun stuff. Mostly necessities/savings though.

Sounds easier to make a human shaped robot than to make something else than can climb stairs as well as do everything else needed efficiently.

Maybe a different shape would be fine if they never needed to climb stairs or go up and down curbs, like rolling around everywhere, which we already see in some restaurants with the little programmable serving robots.

They must have so many criminals just popping off RPGs everywhere, sounds dangerous. Remind me never to visit wherever this 'prosper' is.

I wouldn't imagine even a privately owned business would qualify for privacy. I don't expect any privacy when I'm walking around in Walmart.

Trump cult will just claim it's all the more likely the jury was rigged.

It's because that's the level the average American can understand.

I have been trying to win one game for each class, and it took me forever to win with warrior and have not been able to with mage, but I don't want to skip mage before going to next class.

Mages are so squishy :(

It's really not that difficult to wear a seatbelt, I don't understand the people that don't. It's less restrictive than the belt holding up your pants and it's not like there is an annoying shoulder strap.

Not the original you replied to. And I had a typo when trying to spell typo 😂 just adding to the conversation. Wasn't disputing you, just meant the may have meant refresh rate instead of resolution. Easy mistake. It's still quite disputed how well eyes can tell the difference in refresh rates.

I imagine it was a typo*, but this article in Nature reports that in specifics circumstances the median maximum that people can perceive a difference may be around 500hz, with the maximum in their test possibly being as high as 800hz.

Normally though it seems closer to 50-90hz, but I'm on the road and haven't delved too deeply into it

Edit: Type to Typo

Definitely think owning dogs should require a license and a test of some sort like driving a vehicle.

Can't control a 120lb dog? Class B license instead of Class A license.

Only allowed to buy dogs under 100lbs.

Don't understand how feeding and training works? No license for you.

Licenses for being able to own non-fixed animals as well. Being able to breed dogs and cats needs to come with way more responsibility as well.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like it. I misremembered a few details, he "died" from natural causes in prison, not execution. The court ruled "Schreiber is either alive, in which case he must remain in prison, or he is dead, in which case this appeal is moot."

His name was Benjamin Schreiber.

I think there was a case somewhere that the prisoner was sentenced to death, and was executed ina fashion that didn't quite work.

But technically he did die for a minute or two before his heart restarted, and he sued to be released from prison because he technically served his sentence.

Has the final movie even come out yet? I remember watching the first and second but I thought there was supposed to be a third still on the way?

Feels way too soon for a remake.

I mean, HR is being paid. They should be going through the resume and compiling the data themselves.

Instead they require the applicants to do it for free, despite the fact the applicants are probably having to do it dozens of times trying to apply for multiple jobs.

Well, we call the stuff we breath "air" despite it being 80% nitrogen. It would be a bit weird saying we breath nitrogen. "Air" is a general catch-all term for the mixture of things that we breath.
