    Facebook Theories (Why everyone I know likes it but me)

    I have a Facebook account but I rarely log into it. I might share a link that I find particularly interesting but I never go back to count the likes or replies. I think Facebook, Instagram, etc. interest all boils down to what type of person you are. Personally, I'm highly introverted and...

    The Astronomy Thread

    It really doesn't make sense we're alone in the universe. I remember reading that,if a civilization spread out in a paltry .5 the speed of light they could colonize the entire galaxy in a few million years. There has been plenty of time for that. I guess the best we can do is point some...

    They do if they detected our radio transmissions. WE don't know they're there. Marvel at my proper use of 'there', 'their', and 'they're'.

    What? That's not far at all. That means it took 95 years for that signal to reach Earth. If "they" are there, then they're still there.

    Can you touch your toes?

    SHOULD everyone be able to touch their toes or is it impossible for some (sans people with deformities or missing limbs)? I exercise 3-4 times a week and do pre-workout stretches. Been doing this for years and I have never gotten any closer to touching my toes.

    Can you touch your toes?

    I've never been able to touch my toes, not even as a child. I'm in excellent physical shape too. I guess I'm just not flexible.

    Reposting this in case anyone missed it on the old boards. Space Engine - an incredible space simulator. Curious what the Milky Way would look like from the perspective of a planet in the Large Magellanic cloud? Bam, Space Engine can answer that. Fly anywhere in the universe and marvel at...

    Investing General Discussion

    So I've been watching these videos by Mike Maloney, Hidden Secrets of Money, and I'm seriously considering starting to invest in gold and silver. I have his book, Guide to Investing in Gold & Silver, on order. Has anyone gone this route and have any tips? Specifically, I'm wondering where do...

    Investing General Discussion

    Need some advice... As we all know, interest rates for a bank savings account is so stupid low it makes zero sense to keep your money there. So, alternatively, I've been placing any extra cash into a Vanguard ETF - specifically the VTI Total Stock market ETF. I sold all my shares earlier this...
