Don't do something you love for your regular job. Do something you enjoy, something you're good at, but not something you love. Why? Because after doing the thing you "love" 9 hours a day, 5 days a week (not counting overtime and extra days worked to meet deadlines) you'll begin to stop...

I think you hit the nail on the head here with the offspring question. The key determinant for morality is whether there is unwanted harm to another party, or as Wendell so famously put it, "The right to swing my fist ends where the other man?s nose begins.". I'm of the opinion that people can...

Rogue Trooper, although Rogue Trooper's gun comes a close second for me.

Maybe you're asking the wrong question. The real question I have for you is why aren't you just giving them the paperwork they want so you can get on with your life? If the paperwork is minor and easy to complete then why not go in, get the papers, do the paperwork, and collect your pay? Unless...

Simply put? The lower your revs in most cars the lower your fuel consumption. In modern automatics the rev counter is quite important because gear shifts are automatic and the engine is quite quiet, so its hard to tell precisely what your revs are for a particular speed. A simple example...

I don't like guns. Let me get that out of the way before we even get started. One of the perks of living in Japan is that I will probably never have to have one shoved in my face ever again. That being said, I taught my daughter the basics of gun safety and handling when she was 5. Why...

I got threatened with being fired once (well, technically they were reorganising and my position was no longer around), but it was all just an attempt to pressure me into accepting a position with a lot more responsibilities in the head office (a different city, where I didn't want to go) that...

Its a hate crime, the guy was targetted for harassment, assault, and ultimately death because of his sexual orientation and speech impediment. What aggravates the issue is the victim's mental condition, that he was autistic, and therefore unable to assert himself and resist the harassment and...

Google image keywords: starry night campfire http://img.hsmagazine.net/2012/01/camping_glade.jpg If its just for a university assignment and is just one or two images then there shouldn't be any copyright issues.

I actually give this advice a lot, and I tend to quote Thomas A Kempis who said, "Wherever you go, there you are.". So many people live their lives dwelling on their past mistakes or missed chances (depression) or worrying about the future (anxiety). You'll find yourself a lot more satisfied...

Martial arts, meditation, engaging with your friends on your terms about your issues, keeping active within your comfort zone (e.g. part time job), eating well, sleeping well, exercising well, these are the best "therapy" I would recommend for someone with your particular set of, very difficult...

Yeah, that's not a heating problem. 90F is a normal summers day where I am. 90C (about 190F) should be where its kicking in the emegency shutdown protocols. This seems to match with it not feeling hot. The boyfriend says it's a HP Pavilion G series. Hey, I have one of these in the room next...

Well, a little more information on the make/model would be nice. My wife's macbook pro had horrendous heating problems until I ordered a replacement fan online for $10 and changed it. But what puzzles me is how you're concluding it is an overheating problem when the laptop doesn't feel hot. I...

The problem with Fukushimas wasn't the earthquake, it wasn't the tsunami. The problem with Fukushima was that it uncovered just how amazingly little maintenance had been done on the nuclear power plants country-wide, how safety and upgrade recommendations had been ignored in favour of increased...

My recommendation is to go down to your local hobby/gaming shop and see if there are any groups looking for new players or just prepared to let you sit in for a few sessions. Play whatever they're playing and see if you like it. Just a word of warning, you'll be a complete newbie and probably...
