Plus your great-great grandchildren might face great migrations further inland, starvation, due to climate change, and global warming as ocean levels rise, until the end of the widespread droughts in some areas, and mass flooding in others.

...and laptops are not killing desktops, one of my sons wants to build a gaming desktop.

My children call me out sometimes for making assumptions about the character of their friends, I listen to their side, and what they say changes my perspective.

I turn to ambient music, and try to meditate my sadness away.

Onward Minimum wage, I support it, but my Libertarian friend is against it, and says that it people should be able to tell companies what they will work for. I told him that that would only drive wages down further, because of the competition that would emerge to get the jobs.

Thanks!

cynthianews  ·  4346 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Our Absurd Fear of Fat

This week the media is saying we should all not fear having a little bit of fat, and then next week they will be giving diet tips. Just be yourself, if you realize you want to be an even healthier version of yourself then so be it, or not.

Sure is.

Ha! They are not all like that. One of my ex bf was an MBA student, and played WoW twice a week with his guild, and he was also a single and good father.

Well oddly enough, as much as Carl Sagan is admired his voice annoys me. I would love to read transcripts of his speeches though.

They seem to be passing the reins onto China and Russia. It's sad.
cynthianews  ·  4503 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Will Alien Life be First Discovered on Saturn's Enceladus?
Yes, it would be nice.

My pleasure. He's a cool cat.
cynthianews  ·  4523 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What Blogs Do You Read?
I tend to happen upon an interesting blog while Stumbling on Stumbleupon. Blogspot has many good ones. It doesn't mean that I may ever see that blog again unless I sign into blogspot.

The other way is through Flipboard's curation set, they feature many cool blogs though their names escape me.

cynthianews  ·  4525 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Was the Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki Justified?
No, it was not justified. The US had a pretty new weapon, and they wanted to try it out, Japan happened to be a prime target politically. It doesn't make it right.

Oh that's interesting, hope that you find out a way to get rid of it.

Thanks @thenewgreen, Hubski is very useful already for finding interesting content. It's growing at a good pace. Your lurkers will one day become your commenters.

As I said before they way to go also is to get bloggers to write about Hubski. This will help greatly. A tweet is only beneficial a short time, a blog remains in listed in search engines for as long as the blog exist.

That would do fine too.

Indeed, you think outside the box, I like that.

Good point, I just want to watch them come to historic rulings live.
