Right but if you had a good internet connection in the first place the literal only advantage/difference between not changing a page to going back to ...

Well sure, but what is an email web client but a collection of notes, albeit most sent by others and to and fro. If you do anything but opening a note...

Which websites for example offer this truly "one page" browsing in entirety? Where you visit example.com and every action or section never changes the...

I abhorred these things when they first came out. If your internet is not good or perhaps is throttled due to reaching an allotted usage level, nothin...

That's the point mate, for a responsible drinker being less pissed off and more jovial is not an "illusionary" state. Now it can easily and arguably i...

This can't be a serious question. Though, I once met an Uber driver once who, when the conversational topic of alcohol randomly came up, informed me h...

Oh come now that can't be a word. On a broader point, your current premises of "feeling pain" being different than "responding to stimuli" is lacking ...

Alas, I do. Anyone who can best me in base intellect, even in the form of a game, is clearly some sort of wizard or robot. I don't doubt it. There's p...

Well. Go on.. we're waiting. :meh: Sorry, I have become fascinated with the habits, specifically diets, of smart people. Perhaps, if I myself could so...

Ooh.. um. Grilled salmon? For breakfast? Warm fish mere minutes after waking? None for me, thanks. Now we know why you're so good at chess; you're a c...

I don't like liars. Nor ill-prepared faux comedians.

Do tell.

How is everyone doing today? Anything neat or peculiar to share?

It is physically possible for a collective society to breed out intelligence and perhaps even things such as pain sensitively (physical or emotional) ...

Why do people pay more for celebrity endorsed products. Because someone "important" or socially valuable did it. Or even just because the next random ...

The problem with your argument is simple. When you were a child, say 6 years old, are whatever your earliest memory was. You thought it was the ultima...

I thought this thread was titled 'All things Cannibal' and became intrigued. Alas. It was fun growing up and remains a fine way to pass or enhance the...

As a matter of fact, there are several.

You can be happy and bored or otherwise acknowledging there's more to discover or enrich one's life or understanding with. That is to say just because...

Basically this for me. Well, often there's one (or if I'm lucky several) "perfect"/"ultimate" scene(s), idea(s), or moment(s) I visualize in my head a...

Freedom and socialism don't work. Because then you just sit there and let "someone else take care of it". How do you think the other person gets paid ...

Quick. I need a joke about someone buying something that makes use of the word "bayou" ie. "I'll bayou it" (buy you it)

You absolutely must extend the deadline by 24 hours. I am halfway through the next great novel.

What do you think the overarching effects of this decision will be? Short or long term.

From his profile: "Invited By Jamal" Hmm. :chin: Definitely makes one wonder who was out of line or otherwise in an unclear mindset first.

Some of the people I know barely remember things I said four minutes ago, let alone four years. I'm envious of ND for having the opportunity to know a...

If I'm ever horribly injured or killed, it would be a nice consolation to know at least someone somewhere was able to make a 5th grade pun out of it.

This is true. I actually worked hard to reach my current height. The struggle goes unknown to so many. :blush:

A word is a word and a name is a name. Absent of closed secrecy, any man, or even animal, could identify under such a title. Kind of like how if you h...
