When someone whose intimate partner beats them says "But I love him (or her)," I guess that's unconditional love. I have conditions, and I'm not gonna fall in love with a woman who doesn't.

I use it at least once a month, and I like it a lot. I don't use 2-step verification anywhere, and I don't get why I even need extra security for grocery orders. The only personal info Walmart has is my name, address, and phone number, and all that's online, a Google away.

Here's about a dozen cases of UFO encounters from people all over the world who didn't know each other. They didn't get fame, they got infamy. Some were miserable for decades after. They didn't get rich, in fact, some of them lost their jobs, lost their spouses, lost friends, or their kids were...

It looks like a comet and quarks like a comet, but maybe it isn't a comet. Meanwhile, a swarm of comets is heading our way.

I think you're referring to this Congressional hearing last Tue, when all the military guys were asked "Can anything we know of do that to a Hellfire Missile?" and they all answered "No," and then were asked "Does this scare you?" am I right?

Did you catch the part where they said it's grown to half the size of our sun, and is still growing? I think they said half. That makes me really curious about what's going to happen when it gets at perihelion, about 130 million miles from our sun. That's pretty close in universe terms. The...

That's what I'm waiting for, too, but I bet it'll take a very long time to figure that out. Identifying its exact parent star or system is effectively impossible with current technology. But I sure would love to know. What we can find out is what it's made of and what it has picked up on its...

It's a comet....or is it? Welll, it's nuanced.

It seems you believe the reasons behind homelessness are more complex than they actually are. In the case of addicts who are homeless because they can't get a job and function "normally" in society, do we prioritize solving the issues that got him/her addicted in the first place, or get him/her...

I can only speak for California - I've lived in several other states, but that was before homelessness was widespread and "unsolvable" : Dozens of private citizens in our major cities have stepped up to help the homeless, and were stopped by city councils and the governor.... A guy built a...

Tumbled off a 60 foot ridge when I was in my mid-30s and fractured a few vertebrae. Fortunately it didn't sever my spinal cord, but I was in a wheelchair for quite a while and required a lot of physical therapy. Probly needless to say, that's been the main cause of countless falls ever since...

hmm. Yeah, that might explain it. (😜)

The Hellfire was developed specifically for precision drone strikes, so I'm guessing no, or not necessarily.

Just based on my experience; several visits per month to a handful of encampments over a period of about 3 years; the two groups are unemployable addicts and people who lost their home, either kicked out by their parents or room-mates, or legally evicted from a rental because they lost their job...

Here's a video of the event, and a congressman raising questions about it.
