The New Place

Sure, there's a lot of VC money in it, so I'm not surprised you're hearing about it all day long! And yes, there are good possible uses for blockchains out there, like maybe student transcripts or certain sorts of registries. But the hype is stratospheric, like how a few years ago MOOCs were suppos...

Russia has 11 times zones and the US has three plus the 6 time zones and ocean between the US and Germany. Nazi Germany's conquests at its zenith were a fraction of that The U.S. has five time zones in North America, and two more on either side of that for Puerto Rico and Hawaii. Then another one b...

I keep having to remind myself that patience is a virtue. You have more than I, because once his argument became overtly racist I lost mine (nearly along with my lunch).

Other West Indian entities (I'm thinking St. Barts, Br. Virgin Islands, etc.) are evidence that it isn't necessary to be led by white folks to succeed.

Isn't Bermuda located in mid-Atlantic? Well then, it cannot be defined as a West Indies Island country now can it?

You're confusing the West Indies for the Caribbean. They're not defined the same. In fact even the Bahamas are not in the Caribbean.

A moment’s hesitation and ntheir lives are dead. A lot of the fear blacks have have been drummed up by the left. They want to k...
