“ Smith thought people could morally improve themselves in part by entering imaginatively into other people’s perspectives, in part by stepping outside their own perspectives and taking, as my mother …

As the company liquidates, bond holders are among the first people to be paid after assets and liabilities are netted out. You’d likely get some portion of the face value of the bond at that time. (…

I see you speak in the past tense. So you’ve moved away, in spite of your love for the winters?

That’s very true. The frozen plains of North Dakota aren’t worth much without oil. With oil, they provide good paying jobs to people who otherwise won’t have them. I lived in the next state south for…

I coached sports for all 3 of my kids. Great times. One year, I had a superior athlete on my youth football team. A foot shorter than everybody else and skinny as a stick, the boy had the gift of sp…

That seems counter intuitive to me. Surveillance is information gathering, and synthesizing insights that were previously undiscovered. It makes more information, albeit not shared information. I s…

Well, that’s interesting. I’m used to seeing brightly colored police notices on vehicles left unattended. They spell out how much time the owner has to move the vehicle. If the move doesn’t happen i…

No, just a fan of people being informed. People are being manipulated into outrage for political purposes. Many are unaware that previous administrations ( yes, on both sides ) prioritized deportatio…

My older brother had a mighty CBX. Smooth as silk, and very fast. Carburetor synchronization was troubling!

I had an AMC with the 232 inline 6. Wonderful engine.
