I have to agree with you on the more "As Seen on TV" inventions. Unfocused development tends to goes to a lot of random places.

What a lot of people also overlook is NASA didn't just get people...

You asked what benefits space exploration has given us, I gave 1700+ that came directly from the space program.

And your response is this?!?



That statement reads like it was written by a...

Sorry for the double post, but if anyone is interested in the over 1700 other products, from NASA, you can read about them on NASA Technology Transfer Program

Well for starters

Memory Foam - Yeah the stuff in the silly mattress adds. Also used in helmets, wheelchairs, theme park rides.

This is true. If I was picking from my heart, it would be Tom Thomson from a cultural perspective, or Sam Steele.

Hmmmmm, my vote would have to go to either Francis Bacon or Robert Boyle for their work on the scientific method.

Well, it depends on how you define "greatest". To me, as a Canadian, "greatest" defines a person who has had massive influence on the day-to-day lives/culture/course of the country. How we see...

Inspired by comments from Shawn and 'Dox...

My favourite rhubarb recipe that I found on the Internet thanks to Orangette:

2 lb. rhubarb, trimmed and cut into 3-inch lengths
½ cup sugar
½ cup...

What Shawn and Dox say. Rhubarb has an delicious sour tang.

Historically, it is also one of the first food plants ready to be harvested and eaten in the spring, which is one of the big reasons...

Symmetrical features are universally agreed across the planet to be attractive on both sexes. Also, good skin, as in healthy, free of pockmarks, etc.. Both of which are visual indicators of health....

I am not convinced about that. The same sort of stigma is around romance novels (which is the largest selling genre ), military SF, animated movies, etc. In addition, the acceptance of syndicated...

Well pilots and crew go through the same screening as passengers, so theoretically a weapon would be caught there. What is fairly impressive is how few incidents there have been of pilot...

Actually there are a few more deliberately caused by pilots incidents but I tend to agree that the rule of two is a better choice. I also watch too much Mayday.

Oxford added mansplain to its online dictionary in 2014. It's accepted by the New York Times. What criteria would you need before you would consider "mansplain" to be an actual word?

It is an ugly term for an ugly act. That makes it functional for me. What about it makes it lacking for you? Is it all neologisms or just this specific word?

Lots of people prefer to use shorter versions for concepts like acronyms, abbreviations, words instead of sentences. If it wasn't mansplaining, I am sure a different term for the concept would...

Mansplaining is a incredibly biased and dismissive form of sexism.

As a loud, confident woman, does it hurt me?

It makes my and other women's lives less pleasant at a minimum. Based on my...

Yup really bacon.

WestPhillyPunisher, try frying potatoes in your bacon jam...

Drink more water before you go to sleep. Have sweet dreams.

What Rei says, drink water...and get out of the sun if you haven't already

Last thing I bought was 2 nordic walking poles.

It's been a long month and still 19 days to go in June...

So Last Movie you saw, TV/online/theatre/dvd doesn't matter.

You would be a MAGNIFICENT Liza.


Turkey&Ham with spinach, lettuce, green peppers, banana peppers, onions, olives, and chilpotle southwest and hot sauces.

Either Mesquite...

Thanks, folks.


But would you don the full outfit, fishnets and all?

Congrats, Puma!!!

Hug away, I could use one. Work has been insane and a friend's husband died from brain cancer this week.


Naughty Gozer.... Thank you for the smile.

I am so sorry for your loss, Gary. Pass my sympathies onto Morna as well, please.

It is a big deal, our pets love us and trust us and we have the responsibility to do what is best for them, even...
