    Today I Learned

    Today I learned that at my advanced age with all the sum knowledge and experience that we'll probably never understand the nature of a woman. Some things are just not meant to be understood: )

    Technological singularity and artificial intelligence

    I didn't find this exact topic, so here we are! Let me begin by saying that the singularity is inevitable- Its not "if", it's how soon. Elsewhere on this board it was mentioned that we're far from autonomous driving. Assuming we mean level 5 autonomy, it means millions of hours of road...

    What's Your Opinion on C.S Lewis and His Works?

    If you want to swing to the opposite end of the spectrum, Phillip Pullman's take is an atheist's take on the hypocrisy of religion. And the themes are as overt, if not more so than CS Lewis' stories.

    Rebecca Zahau's death ruled a suicide - bound and with a t-shirt stuffed in her mouth

    clearly it's murder, so either the cops are on the take, the coroner is an idiot, or they are trying to gather enough evidence to put the real culprit away. Let's hope it's the last...

    Total BS Fees: Discuss and Share Experiences

    I would at least talk to an attorney before going through with it. If it's not explicitly stated in your current lease, they would have a hard time enforcing it in court. Personally I'd just move elsewhere, but if you're going to stay, don't let them stick it to ya!

    Who should pay the tuition bill?

    Kids, we love you but it's time for some tough love.. If you give a man a fish... Seriously though, how many kids have the discipline, and motivation at that age to apply themselves? (shut up evo:P). There are a myriad of reasons that forcing your child to pay for at least part of their...

    Is Cursive Writing No Longer Essential in Indiana Schools?

    I guess I'm in the minority, but I see this as a bad thing. I grew up learning cursive, and had to use it basically all the through school, and pretty much up until college, I had to use it. When I was in school the perception was always pretty much that non-cursive was the "lazy" way to write...

    Why are people mean on forums?

    Hard to believe you've never come across people like that because they are so prevalent... 2 true personalities, no, but anonymity emboldens people to throw aside social graces in a way that would most likely get them into trouble in real life. It's not a different personality' just a...

    Why are people mean on forums?

    pretty obvious.. no one's going to punch you in the nose or kick you in the nutz on the internet if you say nasty insulting things. I'm betting most of the "highly vocal" folks on the net are actually pretty meek in person.

    Do we see the universe the way it is?

    This is as much a philosopical debate as a scientific one.. It's as if you were blind and I asked you what the color red looked like, which leads back to the cave allergory... Another point- we perceive the universe how we perceive it- there's no "right or wrong". If the question is...
