I remember being like 7 or 8 and going to a big science museum, I cant remember which. It had a mock up of this space suit that you could get in and control. It had this picture next to the exhibit and it terrified me. All i kept thinking was what if the propellant leaks or runs out, he would be floating away forever. Really cool exhibit though, made me want to go to space camp.

For real! The black hair girl with the lower voice parts was awesome. Shes got some pipes, especially for the lower register like that!

Make sure you're actually registered, even if you think you already are. A lot of states have been "cleaning up" their voting registries .

Based on stories like this coming out over My lifetime. The earliest known civilizations keep getting pushed back by thousands of years each time a new discovery is made. Each time a new story comes out, Scientists are "amazed at the level of technology that primitive humans had". I'm not saying that ancient humans were technologically advanced, and living in Atlantis or anything of the sort, but I do believe society started way earlier than modern science gives us credit for. Again, this is all conjecture and speculation and to be honest I didn't realize what instance I was posting this in or I probably would have kept my opinion to myself.

I'm a firm believer that we are a race with amnesia. The Younger Dryas extinction event reset the human race, leaving our numbers decimated and with only small pockets of survivors left to rebuild.

If your boss has no idea what your doing all year, it sounds like you can do whatever you want. Watch movies, play games, apply for other work...anything goes.

Some things that my company does:

  • Has someone watching you browse our site live. We can see everything you do in real time. All your searches, missclicks, mouse movements, etc. Only thing it cant see is credit card info.

  • Uses these live views to create a profile on you. Are you in the deep south and searched for something that could be "conservative"? Your now on our Conservative mailing list. Vise-versa as well, We have email marketing campaigns that are written to cater to demographics. For each email sales campaign we put out, there are about 8 varieties of those emails that are tailored to what we think you want.

  • Keep databases of all our customers and people who visit the site, with as much info as possible. IP, location, estimated salary, spending potential, whether or not you are more likely to click on our links. All kinds of info that isnt really protected in any meaningful way. Most of it is just on a Google Drive.

  • For our big spenders and repeat customers, we have a separate database that has even more personal info. The marketing manager has even gone so far as to look up Facebook and Linkden and whatnot on you and take whatever they can find. Family, friends, hobbies, jobs, anything that they think can be useful to sell more stuff. Again, none of this is really secured to well.

Im not in the marketing department of my job so theres probably a lot more that im not aware of. These are just a few things we do and im sure this is mild in comparison to bigger companies. My job is a small family business with like 10 people working there.

Oh yeah totally free, just go ahead and put in all your info... Oh, looks like your at the last step and have spent a bunch of your time filling everything out. Oh darn! Look at that, you need to do something very basic that 99% of people need to do? Yeah that will be 75 bucks please.

TurboTax is nothing more than a "Legal" scam that pulls a bait and switch to steal money from people.

I'm a big fan of Firefox's email mask feature. Not sure which update it was but recently it showed up when clicking on an email field. FF creates an email address for you and forwards any mail you get to your main email. It's been great for signing up for random crap cus you can just delete the email mask "account" afterwards.

I don't see how brushing your teeth in the shower saves time. Unless your brushing while you shampoo or something, you're just making your shower longer, which wastes more water.
