I'm in NYC and I must say I HATE music when I'm sleeping. That low bass from afar. Police cars and random ppl yelling, cars driving by I have no issue.

Reply to LPT: If the accelerator gets stuck on your car, do not put the transmission in neutral, just apply the brakes. by MarkHirsbrunner
Pop in neutral, hit e brake, brake and pull over and turn off the engine and inspect. If you think the improvement is .minimal then you have no real experience with cars. Sorry, been driving and working on cars for 20 years bro.

Collective Soul, The World I know. Song hits deep and hell, I'm in NYC so I related to the guy in the song sometimes. Life can suck balls but you keep on truckin. Take the hits and get back up.

Sorry but this is like before with other nations in trade. Makes total sense from their perspectives.

Reply to Really disappointed with a book I just read by Pk0rion
It's a story. The writer chose that for a reason. You're only in the first chapter and judging it way too harshly. Try not to live life like that. Keeps you from new experiences, observations.

Anker is garbage. Look up expert reviews. Best headphones under $100 category, can't be any easier. Read a few as some are skewed. Also, what do u want them for? Gaming, music, portability (commuting), noise cancelling, wireless? Sony WHCH710N is like $150. Spend more but better quality and last you longer. Philips makes a budget model under $100. Good company with history of quality headphones.

Wool is for us Northern folk. Cold nights. Don't go wool if you plan to stay cool. Summertime I love my simple white Egyptian cotton sheets 1000 thread count or whatever, very premium given as a gift. Super soft. 12 years later still happy.

Yes but you ain't terminated.

As you get older you realize it's a lot of what your parents , grandparents and aunts and uncles taught you. You never see it at first.

Recruiters get a commission. Not a periodic cut of your salary. Temp agencies can have contracts that reduce your wages up to a certain time period depending on your state.

Take it from somebody older as my uncle's taught name. Don't own a lot of crap. But what you do buy make sure it's quality.

Get a bike. lighter the better like 6061 grade aluminum steel. Buy a used one. Trek, Specialized, Tomasso, Giant, Cannondale, all great reliable brands. I have a road bike but s hybrid would be easy for you. Skinny tires like 30cm x 700 but wider than road bikes. Mountain bikes suck for the road.

Lot of what you wanna say is easy. Takes years of practice to master the inner voice, mind. Meditation helps. Keep that mind. Nothing is magic. There is no book or words of wisdom that magically change a person except our experiences in life and how we respond to them.

Reply to Why do we assume aliens have similar technologies or more advanced technologies than we do? by jilljackmuse
You're missing a few key possibilities. Travel I'm space, why? Explore, conquer or survival due to lack of resources on home planet. Also if we did discover life on a other planet who knows what it will be. I'm sure there are planets with living microbes and bacteria, hell they survive near volcanoes here on earth. Possibly more advanced civilizations. If they're exploring I would imagine there's a possible unity among beings on their planet , some sort of peace to collectively use ideas and resources for the betterment of their species, existence.

I had a nice rice cooker and wound up giving it away to my sister after just going back to the steel pot. Too easy and jasmine rice just comes out better. My nephews and kid only like the rice from the pot not the rice cooker. Weird. I liked it cause it also steamed but I live in an apt.
