I spend around $40-$60 on gas each month, already did most of the traveling that I want to, and don't have a dog. Groceries are the obvious choice. Free 1br apartment in your current city for life would be a nice option.

No. You could either try to spend more time around people who don't ask stupid questions, or, failing that, ignore those questions and/or people.

Yeah, I get shit like this from time to time. I have veteran, student, and hospital employee IDs. Discounts typically are offered because 1) the discountee performs a job or service that benefits the society as a whole, yet is extraordinarily under-compensated 2) the discountee likely does not have a sufficient income or has an extreme drain on funds, e.g. college student, to adequately support basic living requirements, such as obtaining food. In case 2, the premise is that they will get a higher paying job upon graduation and help support the economy and maybe achieve something worthwhile to society.

Really though, why is makeup deemed necessary at all for typical people? For Halloween, special effects, burn victims, etc, sure. But if people don't like the way you look without caking your face in stuff that can damage your skin, then you need to be around other people. If you don't like the way you look without it, you probably need therapy.

How about we admit that our government system was designed well and worked great for a while, but we have since corrupted it beyond reasonable expectation of repair. It is time to cut our losses, abandon the current system, and start with a new one that we design well and will hopefully work for a number of years until our descendants corrupt it, too.

If you cut open a watermelon that is not completely ripe, it still looks like that.

If nothing else in that mess tips you off, the repeated usage of "so basically" is generally not a sign that reliable education has been completed.

14 year old genius too busy to be president 40 comments

Having a high IQ really does not mean you are intelligent, despite it being an intelligence test. I know plenty of people with high IQs that have the problem solving and higher-level comprehension capabilities comparable to below-average IQ scorers. It certainly does not mean you are qualified to be president. Mainly it is just bragging rights. Also, there is no way of knowing how his selective breeding proposition would have altered his IQ, or even if he would have been born at all.

Ah. I really wish school had exposed me to better literature, instead of overrated, nauseatingly pedantic trash like most of Shakespeare's work.

This is a result of giving awards for participation, lack of intellectual competition in the formative years, No Child Left Behind, coercion of teachers to simply pass students regardless of scholastic performance or behavioral issues, etc.

It probably isn't, but appearances are everything. You will get the attention of the police, who probably will not believe you. They will still try to give you a ticket for public intoxication, they will search you, it will be a hassle. You will probably get some kind of fine, even assuming you can prove it is water. You may go to court. Bottom line: not worth it.

Once you do a bit of time traveling, it changes your perspective on how badly the universe can get messed up by being inconsiderate of seemingly minor things.

It does not really specify a rate of replication into becoming an infinite amount. If it was instantaneous, then the entire universe would immediately end. The critical mass of the universe would recollapse it back into a singularity; the big crunch.

Or if you break it, it will no longer function and you just have a broken bowl.

@harmonywho, too bad there is not really a perfect vacuum. Vacuum energy fluctuations caused by virtual particle pair creation would ensure that some particle would eventually be inside. Also, what about things that go through practically everything, like neutrinos? How do we keep out dark matter and dark energy (whatever they turn out to be, I am pretty sure an infinite amount of them in one place would create some kind of exotic black hole like a kugelblitz or something)
