Is there an accepted method to determine when it is sound to think that coincidences aren't random? I'm talking in every day life, where things happen without lab conditions, and the mind makes connections between things in a free form way. We all know the mind loves to make connections, but...

Its not as if anything bad can happen to you in Hawaii. Try taking a trip to Iran and relying on the power of prayer.

Seriously, how many millenials do you hang out with? In my experience, Millenial dwellings have fewer trinkets than boomer dwellings. The trinkets are different, of course. You don't find action figures in a boomer house, but then, you don't find ceramic babies in millenial houses. One...

yeah, and so does cutting through the floor. If you rebuild the toe kick, you can finish it as a piece. If the toe kick doesn't quite match the rest of the cabinet, it doesn't matter as much, because they are often finished differently and installed separately. That's why they are the part...

Are you suggesting they got them into the kitchen, but found they couldn't stand them up, so then decided to take them out of the kitchen, downstairs, where they couldn't stand them up either, then cut a hole in the floor, bigger than the minimum because then they'd have to because they need...

How can Millenials be consumeristic when they are so poor? I'm willing to bet the assumption that they are more consumeristic than Boomers, who built American consumer culture, will crumble like most Boomer prejudices under the glare of scrutiny. Most Millenials I know have a healthy dose...

And how did they get it in the front door? Or down the stairs to the basement? Most houses' basements have a lower ceiling height than the main floor. Sorry, this isn't a real story.

I can't believe that story. How many floor joists did they have to saw through? That's hard work. And a carpet wouldn't cover up a sagging floor.

Are there any Trans people starting threads and yelling hysterical things like "GOD HELP US?"

thats new to me. I have heard that solar panels tend to lose efficiency over time, but not needing replacement on that scale. The number appears to be 1% per year. If a solar panel pays for itself in 12 years or so, it should still be operating at a high degree of efficiency. Hell, if they...

The order of succession is established by the Presidential Succession Act, not the amendment. The act specifically states that people not meeting the requirement of being president who hold an office on the list don't become president, but the next qualifying person does. Simple. So a former...

Yes hydrogen moves the carbon footprint elsewhere, but if it can be more efficient, it is still a net gain. From the sound of it, the hydrogen trucks can have their hydrogen producer nearby, reducing need to spend fuel to ship fuel. Even if the hydrogen eloctrolysis were conducted using power...
