    What's the last thing you bought?

    Wow! It came in today! I now have 8 GB of memory, and 3.93 GB of memory is being used, and no swap space is being used. It looks like I have a new computer. For some reason, the first boot took 61 seconds to get to the desk top (maybe because more software is getting loaded into memory, or...

    I don’t use turn signals…

    Just don't run into any tractors who can't tell where you're going, or trucks with big steel bumpers. If you run into me because you didn't signal, ca-ching, I get a new paint job for the damaged area.

    Rampaging while high on K2

    Caz, anywhere there are humans, there's bound to be something of this nature. However, because the people are locals there, they know (or should know) the real thing and the tourist trappers. Please explain what you mean by slave labor and where you got that information. And please show...

    Rampaging while high on K2

    Well, when people are ready to give up everything to do the enlightenment, usually, that's in the final stage in life. The retirement stage, when they are providing service to humanity (this can be teaching classes on Sanskrit, being a spiritual adviser, working hospice, working in soup...

    Rampaging while high on K2

    Caz, please explain what you mean by "how much does it cost?" What are you referring to exactly? The books? Nearly all of the books, I have gotten for free, either because they are available for download, or I was gifted two of the books by Rajiv's staff and one by the disciple. (Breaking...

    Rampaging while high on K2

    Caz, you do not understand, and that's okay. I have yet to go into the material that supports my perspective. I did not want to add that here. It is not romanticism, as it comes from Indian people I work with. I am a writer for Rajiv Malhotra, I go to Temple, and I am under a disciple of...

    Rampaging while high on K2

    Very simple. Let me give you an Indic perspective (Dharmic culture from India is what I mean) on the drug problem. Western civilization is set up such that the four goals in life of a person (as is viewed from a Hindu perspective) is not pursued equally. What are these goals? They are 1)...

    Female UFC world champion calls out her transgender competitor

    Ronda is incorrect by making sweeping statements of all trans women. She knows nothing of our physiology. When biological men take estrogen to transition, they tend to lose the muscles and strength. I have less-than-equal strength compared to several women. Normally, I wouldn't comment on...

    so Donald Trump for president!?

    Don't even !@#$ go there... Donald is SUCH a tool! He steadfastly refuses to acknowledge that he IS the problem. He represents American Exceptionalism and Imperialism. America has no basis to stand on, since it is ENTIRELY based upon the theft of land, fauna, and flora, in addition to...

    Languages

    Now that you brought that up, Nic, I knew Pascal and Basic really well, and had a semester of assembly language and COBOL, but most of that was nearly 30 years ago! As far as spoken languages go, no. I am not fluent in any language and can barely wing it in ASL. I know some words in Spanish...

    Rampaging while high on K2

    The spiraling decline of Western civilization continues... When will western civilization start looking at inner science seriously before it lets itself go too far?

    What's the last thing you bought?

    Memory for my Mac (only has 2 GB, going up to 8 GB). I see on my Activity Monitor that I have 2 GB of memory, while 1.96 to 1.98 memory is being used and over 200 MB of swap space is being used. I sure hope it makes my mac run faster (running on Yosemite on a 6-y-o iMac). It takes about 45...

    600 Nabisco jobs to be transferred from Chicago to Mexico

    Actually, no. Bimbo makes some good sweets, from what I've heard, but after looking at the ingredients, I have not eaten them.

    600 Nabisco jobs to be transferred from Chicago to Mexico

    You want to know why? Really?? Then brew up a pot of coffee and read the position of the BJP party who won India's election. This link is about Integral Humanism, a position paper on Dharma as a viable third alternative to Capitalist and Communist societies...

    Heat index in Iran hits staggering 163 degrees

    What may seem odd is that we're (Cleveland TX) just a little bit south of Iran, and yet, where there's lots of moisture and vegetation in the rural areas, it stays cool at night, and I have the windows open at night. In the mornings, I go walk/sprint, and I don't come back sweaty at all, only...

    Looking for healthy lady in Blackfoot and Idaho Falls in Idaho

    Excuse me, son... This describes many women... She could be of color. Maybe a progressive Christian or Hindu. What does little bit mean? A conservative version with iced tea, red neck version with cheap alcohol, yuppy version with microbrew craft beer with names we have never heard of, or a...

    18-Foot Python Captured in Florida Everglades

    Imports of these animals and poisonous ones not of a given area should be banned, period. How about that man who was found in his car and died in the hospital in Austin TX from a cobra strike? They found the dead cobra in the area, AND another one was found in Houston.
