Try to find a game you both enjoy, and play it instead. If any of you know Defense of the Ancients, I used to play for extremely long periods of time. Since I have introduced it to family, we play in a group on weekends. If this family gameplay is more enjoyable than playing by yourself, you...

I savor the bitterness of the drink. I don't salt eggs either.

Cram the languages the students know and exchange information. Insanity drives thought processes that can't be used otherwise.

This decline in population is not a crisis and to suggest that a continuous increase in population would be beneficial to Japan or the world is absolutely ludicrous. This applies to every country.

Disease Institutions This would essentially bring the state of humanity back to <10000BC, with no risk of disease or infection. However, there would be no possibility of significant technological advancement since institutions (such as governments or universities) could not be formed. And yes...

If Yellowstone were to erupt, the Pacific Northwest would be the most sheltered from it. The Rocky Mountains would protect the Pacific Northwest, while everything else in North America (and particularly east of the eruption site) would be obliterated, creating a natural oasis. This new dominion...

It will be extremely tough to implement since these automated cars would not be able to communicate well with human-driven cars. What if some person wants to drive a car, or what if the person can't afford an automated car? They can't drive at the high speeds automated cars are accustomed to...

DotA 2. I've played DotA for around five years, and a DotA 2 event called The International 3 is happening right now with a prize pool of $2,800,000. Link to The International 3
