    Are you including checkin, security, bag drop/pickup, and getting to and from the airports? Didn't think so.

    If and when you grow up, you'll learn that it's often more courageous *not* to strike back.

  9. Re:Rice cookers on Here Comes the Keurig of Everything · · Score: 1

    Disclaimer: My wife is Chinese, so I know a lot about both rice and rice cookers. She also taught me that in a traditional Chinese family, the man is responsible for cooking the rice, while the woman is responsible for browsing the Internet. Can anyone verify that?

    Mine says the same thing. Coincidence... or conspiracy?

    Rice cookers are also brilliant at making slow cooked oatmeal (rolled or steel cut), which is the only kind worth eating.

    You left out congee.

    No, I don't think you're insane. I suspect that you, like me, have some realisation that the real truth of things is simpler than what most humans make it out to be. I used to consider myself a Deist before I outgrew the need to believe in a Supreme Being apart from Being.

    Humans are vicious, predatory animals. They are renowned for subjecting other beings to death and pain.

    Not disowned. Abandoned. They buggered off back to Dagestan a couple of years before this happened, leaving all their kids behind. From there, it's been quite easy for them to issue denials and calls to avenge the deaths of their sons.

    If he'd been shot by a cop in the act of planting the bomb, that might qualify for self-defence.

    "Punishment" is simply another word for "revenge".
