    Parroties

    Most people keep their parrots locked up in cages, but that begs the question: if we didn't treat parrots like animals, would they behave like animals? So, I've been pondering for quite some time what could we do to stop parrots from behaving like animals. Then, it came to me. Give them...

    Do you touch your laptop?

    When I say laptop, I don't mean one that transforms into a tablet by folding it around, or a tablet that has a keyboard attachment. I mean a regular, non-stylus laptop. The one I ordered does fold down flat to have the keyboard and screen side-by-side (180º hinges), but doesn't go all the way...

    All of my thoughts are original

    To make a long story short, I keep having these original thoughts, but I hear people complaining that they have no alternative but to re-think my already thought thoughts, rehash, repackage, and recycle them. I have been trying to find a way to get around this problem to no avail. Can you guys...

    I love wafers

Anyways, this grocery store by me has these wafers on sale for like $1 for a 7 oz. bag and they are awesome. They are Crich "Brasil Party" wafers. They are chocolate coated. Apparently they...

    It's because they're black (or hispanic!), right?

    Says the guy leading the nation: http://kdhnews.com/news/politics/obama-on-protests-there-are-consequences-to-indifference/article_500bc0c9-949c-5ee2-8b9d-ac82c93e435f.html Seems pretty ridiculous to me. Same old, same old. Basically, we're stopping minorities from achieving anything because...

    Ad causing page reload? Text editor glitching

    I was just typing up a post and the page reloaded on me. Not from an error or anything, I am guessing from an ad or some JS. Only time this has happened to me here, so it might have just been a one-off thing on my end. However, the text editor regularly glitches since the forum changed hands...

    Extension methods, separate class, or both

    Preference question. Have some methods that could be made into extension methods, but there are about 20 of them. The class they'd go on is already pretty well populated. Would you use them as extension methods, leave them in a separate class, or do both via an intermediate namespace that adds...

    TaB Soda

    Just got this from the store earlier today thinking it was a new Coke brand. After I tasted it, I was fixing to contact Coke to tell them they needed to recall the lot I got, but discovered two things in the process: 1. This is the way it is is supposed to taste. 2. It's not a new Coke...

    School Help: Ablaut in Indo-European / Proto-Germanic

    Ok, I don't know if anyone here will know the answer to this question, but can anyone clarify what the ablaut was in Indo-European? I know that it changes the stem of a word based on tense verbs and converting from verbs to nouns (and the vice). However, I am not sure if it is only related to...
