    As a long term chronic insomniac, going past 48 hours isn't uncommon, and I've seen the ugly side of 72 hours a few times. Due to a certian stressful situation in high-school, I went 7 days without sleeping. That said, microsleep is a thing, and can be very uncanny, and has led to my only known...

    Measure even the supposed capabilities of north Korea against the known capabilities of their many rivals. There is no contest. Those many tons of shells sold to Russia seem to have a distressing tendency to blow up the guns firing them... The largest standing military by numbers. Let's weigh...

    My point is that anytime North Korea is brought up as a serious threat, you should question how and why and who, it would benefit from the world fearing a paper tiger.

    Just posted this elsewhere, seems like a good time and place to drop it again. I fully encourage folks to explore the DPRK from Google. Try finding a car on the road outside of Pyongyang.

    Dude, they do it with lasers. The world is flat, after all, and the Nazis built a giant tower at the north pole, back in the 30s, so they just climb up, shoot the laser over at everest and measure how far off of perfectly level it is. Simple really.

    Arizona has been famous for our sunsets, long before pollution became an issue. Anecdotally, I've seen the sun set in 49 states. Arizona wins, hands down, just about every time. The ocean is nice and all, but the gods paint our sky with heavy hands, a gift in recompense for suffering under an...

    While I don't doubt that there's folks out there with hydrophones listening to how shrimp screw and all manner of other things, I think most of those claims are just shit talking. Hard to verify or refute any of those claims. Who is listening to parrots whisper? The people out there doing...

    You are correct, little boom towns sprang up near logging operations, and often the skid road the logs came out on became the main street of the town.
