Borscht.
No one can tell. But loosing 40.000(If that is what happened article is unclear), IMO, is a small loss compared to loosing/endangering a family member.
Ok, personal feelings. I HATE(with total passion) people that will sue/attach a value to a family member. If you settle for x-amount for the…

Personally, I like him and his viewpoint.
I class him same as Morgan Freeman and Clint Eastwood(Ostwald in german). ;) IMO, they got what it takes to tell a story as it should be, none of the Spielberg mush.
Looking forward to it.

The bins are back for the most part but now got clear sides so you can see what is inside. Myself have the guys rather over-reacting than another sarin attack.

As a non-american I agree with you.
From my history studies I see the US right now making the same mistakes as all other empires across the ages made. Think they are untouchable and can't do wrong.
To a certain degree I can understand the feeling. This is NOT…

Tea or Beer either will work.
I have lived in S.Africa, some houses even had bars and security gates inside the house.
Futile as it may prevent an attacker from getting to you, yet at the same time they also block YOUR escape route.

She did the 100% right thing. Kudos to her. This is something I teach in Self-defense classes and also to my MA students.
"Create an environment where there is no confrontation". Don't try to be a hero and tough person.
And, yes, there is always a risk, no matter what…

Part II.
Lets look at history. We had electric cars before/bout same time as petrol driven ones but the petrol driven ones won as the petrol back than was dirt-cheap as it is a by-product/waste of the oil refination process.
Petroleum based products also allowed us to move away from…

IMHO, not much will happen by 2050.
Yes, we will have more alternate energy sources(solar, wind-power, etc) and maybe have more zero-emission or less polluting vehicles.
But, IMO, those alone won't do much. Ok, we power our cars by electricity, all we are doing is moving the bill from the…

I have seen an increase in ads about "depression" over the last 2 years, also a lot of "Mental health/Kokoro clinics" seem to have opened in the areas I visit. Try getting an appointment for a visit is tough though, always booked out.

How many of the people that those african guys represent sleep on a straw-mat on dirt floors with only a blanket to cover themselves. They most likely felt insulted that they had to sleep like their subjects.
