I think the site's broken at the moment, I can only see the word "oak" and nothing else when I click on it. But let me speculate on what would need to happen to "defeat deafness". Keep in mind I'm only putting this up for the sake of debate and playing the Devil's Advocate. 1. Medical...

Just curious, if you have CI or wear hearing aids, do you try to listen to the songs and read the lyrics at the same time? I do that a bunch for songs that I enjoy listening to, although for me its the other way around (listen to music, if I like then read lyrics).

I bring you exhibit one: The Telephone -Get a credit card, have to activate it. How do you activate it? Call the phone number on the peel-off sticker on the credit card *AND* you have to call from the home phone number associated with the card. Which means no relay services. -Order an item...

I would be silly and such, but the world is not ready for my level of silliness. So I keep it bottled up, waiting for that one day when I can unleash it. ;)

The point he was making was that he wants to see it so bad that he doesn't care if there is no CC. I feel the same way. ;)

I would worry about battery prices, at least in the near future. Current battery technology is based on zinc, and unfortunately we're about to approach a really bad global zinc shortage: Record zinc prices on global shortage

I am definitely going to see this, CC or no CC. It's way worth it, and will probably be the only time I go to a movie theater this year for a non-captioned movie.

Who cares about Lindsay Lohan... Now, if Scarlett Johansson said she was a lesbian, the world will end. :(

I'm a deaf single guy. I'd like to think I'm not a complete buffoon and can carry an intelligent conversation (depending on environmental noise). First, there's probably the idea that most hearing people get that they can't communicate with deaf people. They're just afraid to try. Some kind of...

I have severe to profound hearing loss in both ears, average around 90 decibels, and I use digital hearing aids without a problem. I can speak, hear people speaking (combine with lipreading to make out what they're saying), listen to music and hear the world. Oh, and I was born deaf. In some...

It'll never happen, not until the US reaches nearly the same population density as those countries to make such a transportation system viable. Check out this list: List of countries by population density - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia South Korea is #21 with 493 people per square km...

I'm deaf since birth, severe to profound hearing loss and I listen to music. Mostly rock, with a smattering of other genres. If I tire of those, I switch to classical/opera since there isn't much (if any) speaking/singing and even then, the vocals are just another "instrument" that goes well...

Welcome! Do you find interest in anything, or just specific topics for intellectual discourse?

Sure you do, its where you put your batteries to satisfy your D-cell enema.

RIP Don S. Davis He's going to the great Chappa'ai in the sky. I hope he sent his IDC code fast enough for them to open their iris. ;)

Recently bought the fifth book in the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind, "Soul of the Fire". I started on the first book "Wizard's First Rule" about 1.5 months ago and have been consuming the series since. It's a very good fantasy series for adults, I wouldn't recommend it for kids.

The first ~30 minutes of that movie had zero dialog, just a bunch of beeps and boops of robot "speech". Many folks I know loved this movie, I can't wait to see it- open captioned or not.

You win! :)

Ok, give it a try, tell me what it is and where it is. ;)
