    When does/did your sense of taste come back?

    It's hard to say, really. Not to scare you or anything, it could take a while, or it could change soon. You might just simply get used to it and not notice it anymore. It all depends on what exactly happened with those nerves, and to what extent. Just like I had a lower wisdom tooth extracted a...

    What do with my old tty machines

    Perhaps they are, to the fortunate. Some people have to go 'low tech' for various reasons. Democratics Donate TTY Machine to Delaware TWP :: Pike County Pa Newspapers in Milford, Pa For All Your Local Events, Arts and News :: Newspaper for Milford & All of Pike County, Pa Services...

    What do with my old tty machines

    Yeah, especially since they were already built before being purchased, any damage would have been done regardless of who wound up having them. It would be even more polluting to simply throw them away. And yes, try to donate some of them. Old TTY are still useful, not everyone has access to...

    Guess this image!

    Yes it is! :) And sorry for being late.

    I'm gone.

    And by the way, SimpleMan, Vamp, grummer, and others who have left helpful comments to me, thank you. And you are right, Grummer. All I do 99% of the time is sit in my house, in my room, and study and read things. I need to do something else... this isn't healthy.

    I'm gone.

    And that is where you are wrong. I was upset and venting. Don't like it? Too bad for you, I guess. What you just did is the kind of thing *I* disapprove of.

    Anti-Human

    Ok, fine. We can sum that up in one word: Inconclusive. You might want to have this thread edited from before #42 to change it to your new question, because not everyone reads whole threads (I didn't even see this until today)... so you are still going to get people responding to the...

    Why the discrepancies between ASL and English?

    You partly saw my point and then skirted around it. Do you propose to tell me that ASL is worked on just as hard as another language is? That it is compiled just as seriously? That it is trying to be standardized as much? That we have many linguists studying it and perfecting it, day in and...

    'Lucky' girl hit by lightning, then wins lottery

    Haha, that would be cool, depending on the odds, it would certainly be rare. The significance with the lightening is this, though. 1. There has to be a storm or something to cause it 2. She had to be somewhere where the lightening could hit her. 3. It apparently didn't harm her...

    'Lucky' girl hit by lightning, then wins lottery

    The chances of both things happening one day after the other are almost nil. This is actually quite significant, and will hopefully be documented. In theory, it would have to happen at least once, in a time line of infinity. Chances of it happening again are slim (the same as they were...

    Why the discrepancies between ASL and English?

    Heh, I saw what you wrote before, you should have left it... it was helpful to demonstrate my point.

    Why the discrepancies between ASL and English?

    Thank you for proving my point with a very powerful emoticon. Now write what the emoticon does and means, in words. (you don't have to, I'm just saying that rhetorically)

    Why the discrepancies between ASL and English?

    I know all that, and thought I implied that I did. I'm not saying there should be 500,000 signs. 1,500 seems to go too much the other way, though. I could understand if it were say, at least 10,000. There is plenty of room for that many permutations, if not more (in my opinion) All I am...

    A Solder Threw A Puppy Away

    I am sorry. I have not left (but I surely wanted to, for a bit). I will try to explain my position. I do not see what calling someone a 'monster' brings to the discussion, aside from the fact that you are just saying what you feel like saying. I just did not understand when you said you...

    Can we really run car with water?

    Yeah. That is why I am saying that it isn't economically viable, currently, not for the big companies anyway. The price to do this stuff will be disproportionately high in the beginning, because it has never been done before, and demand (therefore production volume) will be low for a while...

    Can we really run car with water?

    Not just the car, but the equipment to make the car, the equipment to make the equipment that makes the car, designing new plants and factories, engineering the proper and efficient way to build them, the people to design everything, the people to install it, the people that teach those people...
