    Nevan B replied to Why are Zack and Randy D the only two black guys active on this website? :
    Well considering the small population of users here, it might be proportion to the black population at large.I'm not aware of other Asian or even half-Asian users here, though, now that I think about it...

    Nevan B replied to are you looking forward to valentine's day? :
    Sure, I have the day off work and it's an excuse to eat candy. :) I've never really cared about being in a relationship so V-day is not something that would get me down.

    Nevan B replied to How long do you think it would be before people missed you on the Mug and began asking after you... .:
    I change my avatar with some frequency, though it's always a pic of me :) So hopefully someone would recognize that!

  • Nevan B
    Nevan B replied to It is very windy here right now. I wonder if those polar storms are affecting Phoenix. What is going on weather-wise by you?:
    Cold weather (and by that I mean California cold, so temperatures in the 40s and 50s) and lots of much needed rain and snow (in the mountains). It's been great.

    Tarantula hawks and such, yes. The sting from a tarantula hawk is said to be one of the most painful things a human can experience. 
    • February 12
  • Nevan B
    Nevan B replied to Did you knew there is a wasp that hunt spiders ?:
    That is not correct. A tarantula is a spider. They are part of the order Araneae, the "spiders", which is a sub-family of Arachnida.

    Nevan B replied to How long do you think it would be before people missed you on the Mug and began asking after you... .:

    Yes. It is Christmas Eve, which is a holiday in its own right. 
    • February 3
  • Nevan B
    Nevan B replied to Are you responsible for everything you did from the minute you are conceived and you should be help accountable until the end?:
    You should be held accountable for everything you've done with understanding of your actions. That does not mean you can't redeem yourself or be forgiven for past mistakes. 
    • February 3
  • Nevan B
    Nevan B replied to You MUST be perfect, OR you are only the bad things you've done. Correct?:
    That's modern "outrage culture" in a nutshell.

    Winds and ocean currents are the main reasons Europe is warmer than North America at equivalent latitudes.

    Nevan B replied to How many of the top 20 must dangerous cities in THE USA have you visited? :
    I've been to Richmond, CA and Oakland, CA, both of which make various lists of dangerous cities. Oakland has its nice parts, though. It's the BART stations that freaked me out. People get robbed and stabbed there.

    Nevan B replied to what do you like to eat for dinner on your birthday :
    Japanese food has always been the tradition for my birthday dinner. My birthday is Christmas Eve so I don't think we've ever gone out to dinner on the actual day, though--that's a day for staying at home.

    Nevan B replied to I've never heard anybody (American or migrant) living in Wyoming? That makes me wonder if anybody even exists there?:
    My high school U.S. history teacher grew up in Wyoming and often told us about life there. Wyoming's population is about the same as Sacramento and a couple surrounding communities, where I grew up.

It makes sense that you'd run into few people from Wyoming given its low population.

  • Nevan B
    Nevan B replied to The puppet boy signals support of states teaching courses in the Bible in public schools. WHY NOT COURSES IN COMPARATIVE RELIGION?:
    As long as the class is optional, I don't have a problem, but I would prefer a comparative religion class than a "Bible literacy" class. Not to mention, whose Bible literacy? Catholics and Protestants read the Bible in some very key different ways. 
    • January 30
  • Nevan B
    Nevan B replied to Repetitive, hate-filled, boring, stupid, uninformed political questions, or tilde and sandwich questions?:
    Yeah, it's amazing to which people here are incapable of ignoring questions they don't like. I never ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM's questions because I don't click on ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM's page. I guess some people want drama in their life. 
    • January 30
  • Nevan B
    Nevan B replied to Is 50 old?:
    It seemed that way ten years, but now both of my parents are at least 60. So now 50 doesn't seem quite as old.

  • Nevan B
    Nevan B replied to Are you someone who has never slept DIRECTLY on the ground or on a bare floor even once in your entire life? ~:
    I have done it once, but it was so uncomfortable that I don't think I actually slept for more than an hour. 
    • January 28
  • Nevan B
    Nevan B replied to What parts of the United States have you lived in?:
    I've never lived anywhere other than California. I've lived my whole life in northern California. I've traveled all around the country, though.

    Nevan B replied to Do people think you are dumber or smarter than you appear to be?:
    People tend to assume that I'm smart because I look Asian. I am smart, but the Asianness is not why. 
    • January 28
  • Nevan B
    Nevan B replied to Based on your age or generation do you only listen to music from your past?:
    My favorite genre of music is classical, so that's quite a bit older than me. But I also listen to plenty of brand new music, mostly indie and electronica. 
    • January 28

    Nevan B replied to When is the last time you bought a NEW car? 1978 for me.:
    I've never actually bought a new car. My most recent car purchase was last year. I bought a used 2017 car. So fairly new, but still not brand new.

  • Nevan B
    Nevan B replied to What about the rest of us that are not affected by Oxycontin's addictive properties but use it for pain and put it down?:
    I don't see how anyone can be addicted to it. My mom took it after hip surgery and it made her really nauseous. I guess if you take enough of it, you become immune to the nausea. As long as you don't become addicted, I don't see the problem.

    Nevan B replied to Is your sack sad?:
    My backpack is starting to show its age, especially because the back of it is white and it's become discolored. I need to clean my sack.

    Nevan B replied to do you have nordic blood:
    I don't. If I do, it's probably a small amount. I know that my dad's ancestry is primarily English, French, and German; don't know of any Scandinavian in there. But I haven't taken a DNA test yet.

    Nevan B replied to What is the worst thing anyone has ever said to you? My wife called me pathetic, for reasons I won't go into.:
    Being told in high school that I have "no personality" stung pretty badly. Granted it was actually said behind my back, but I got wind of it.

Then what happens is I'll wake up in the middle of the night and be absolutely burning up. I'll be sweaty and uncomfortable and have to take my shirt off and often that isn't even enough. It makes little sense to me, especially as the temperature in the room has dropped by then. And often when I go back to sleep and wake up again in the late morning, I'll be cold from having taken my shirt off. What's with the changes?  less

And in the old days, tags could be easily cut off (yep, I'm old enough to remember that). Now they are sewn on the back of the shirt so removing them requires a seam-ripper and you risk putting a hole in the shirt. Some tags are even printed on, but they are still itchy!

Sometimes it's due to stress or being too warm at night, and sometimes there's no clear reason.Unfortunately, in the past couple weeks I'm developing a pattern where I wake up in the middle of the night (between 3-5; I fall asleep around 11:30 or midnight) and am unable to go back to sleep. When I wake up in the middle of the night, I feel wide awake, no yawning or tiredness, as if I'm ready to start the day...except I'm not.How do you get out of a bad sleep pattern?  less

It was started by two white girls who based their recipes on techniques they learned in Mexico. The shop was shut down after negative media attention surrounding accusations of racism and "cultural appropriation" when the girls shared with a news source that they "peeped" in on older Mexican women making burritos and tried to replicate the recipe in the U.S.They were soon accused of stealing the recipes and thousands of negative Yelp reviews appeared. The business closed up shop shortly after.Was this actually cultural appropriation? Was this tyranny? Was this capitalism and the free market at work?  less

What say you?Keep in mind that "continent" has various definitions, one of which is simply "large geographical region that may be defined by culture more than geography". Zealandia is made of continental crust, so just because most of it doesn't show doesn't mean it shouldn't be a continent (in my opinion).   less
