How do you deal with becoming bald? Do you buy stuff to grow back hair, do you comb over, or do you just proudly wear your bald head? Do you shave all your hair away and pretend you never wanted to have it anyway?

What's happening at the markets right now? Is the thing with Deutsche Bank serious? Are the rising oil and gold prices a sign of impending depression? Should one cut the losses or wait for the markets to improve? Yours truly, Concerned Citizen

Summing up the results took longer than expected. It was partly due to the questions not always being easily quantifiable, but also partly due to the lack of time and even laziness from me. Sorry for that. :) As a general impression, what people see unsatisfactory in the OT are (in no...

Suppose there's a man in death row who finds out he has cancer that is likely to terminate his life very painfully. He wants to be euthanasiasized (probably not a word, but you understand anyway :)). Tell what is your stance on death sentence, euthanasia, and whether you'd grant his wish.

I'm learning Java, and am on course of Software design, very simple such, mostly basics of UML and the design principles. There was discussion on interfaces, and the teacher something puzzling. There are reasons why I didn't ask clarification from him, and I'd suppose multiple views are good...

I got music, great artist, guild charters (two) and masterservants' guild, but I'm yet unable to build Artists' guild. I tried even in the city where the manservants' guild is. Any suggestions?

I just loaded Ubuntu 12.04, Precise Pangolin, and was terrified to see the new interface (Unity, apparently). IT was not hard to change it to Gnome, but even then every thing was behind a rock: Adding users have to be done from terminal etc. If Ubuntu's aim has been to make a popular...

This is awesome! LINK High school kids sent a rubber chicken Camilla to space with a helium ball: They put with her some insects and sunflower seed. They are going to try and plant the seeds. This is one of those things that makes you jealous you never thought of it.

This is a thread for the '60s popular music. Post songs, tell us your favourite artists and one hit wonders. Do you know any forgotten gems? Why did '60s produce so awesome music? Here's one to open up: N1PhMSTj0uw

No, it's not April fool's day. Salvator Mundi will be exhibited in London from November 18th onwards. The painting has an eerie mystical quality. In my opinion it's a bit creepy actually. Jesus' looks more like murderer than saviour. What do you think? Linky Linkenson.

What words do you find phonetically ugly? Please tell also what's your language(s). The idea is to find out how independent of language this is. Preferably English words, but you can use words of other languages too, if you provide some clues to how they are pronounced. To start: "Saliva" and...

So far happened: Jesus has born again 25th of December 1980 in USA. In 2014 he begins his active life and starts to wander around the country preaching to people. He gains quickly followers, who are in awe of all the miracles he does. The followers are however surprised that Jesus' second coming...

Just to let you know. It isn't April yet, is it?Link

I saw V when I was kid in the eighties, and liked it a lot then. Now I heard there's a new version of it, and watched the first episode. Some spoilers may follow. The original V had it's oddities too. For example that no one seemed to be surprised by the human looks of the visitors. I...

Please tell also something about how you live. The idea of this thread is to explore living costs around the world. I live in a 25 m^2 single room apartment, about 1.5-2 km from the center of Helsinki, and pay 495 euros a month. The rent includes water but not the electricity nor gas. I'm...

What is healthy to eat? It's of course complicated question, but while no one can answer it, we may discuss it. At the moment I'm curious about omega-3 fatty acid. Someone tried to sell them in pill-form to me outside the grocery minute ago, and I might have tried, if they had selled it in...

So, Texas has right to secede the union, right? Did they have this right already when there was civil war? If yes, then what part did that right play in the civil war? (I guess none, if they were part of the confederation, but was there for example option to secede and stay independent for them?)

EMI has released all Beatles-albums remastered, consequently they hold 11 places in UK's top 40. Who has heard them? Are they worth buying? Are there samples in the internets? I actually tried to find, but could not. EDIT: Here's some, I believe. Under the text "Check out related media"...

What's your favourite pieces of historical fiction? What are you currently reading? What are you about to read? What do you generally think about historical fiction? Alternative history counts also. Please do also pick on mistakes and -representations in historical fiction!

There's no mods in this thread yet despite the title, but I thought we could collect some. I'll explain why I'm posting here. First I thought that it would be nice if you could download Total War mods from CFC. Then I understood that instead we can make a thread which links to these mods. It...
