If somehow life as we know it was destroyed, and we reverted back to the exact conditions that existed for single celled organisms in the beginning, including historical natural processes like asteroids and ice ages...how likely is it that any creature would evolve to become anything even remotely recognizable? Furthermore, how likely that some form of a primate exists? Evolution is not random, but perhaps the characteristics of the creatures it produces is? Blow my mind, science!

In light of the recent news that Durant is going to the Warriors, how does a team afford to have Curry, Thompson, Durant, Green, Iguodala and Livingston signed for a combined $71,846,532 next season, with the NBA cap at $94.143 mil, and then go out and add Durant's contract? How do they sign the rest of the team?

I have a good understanding of the way the NHL works, but this is one of the reasons I can't get into basketball. Nobody ever makes the Raptors a super team.

I'm looking to record an EP with my drummer friend. I have a Fender Telecaster Deluxe and a DS-2 Turbo Distortion Pedal, and a Marshall 15W amp that I don't really like because of all the background fuzz. We have sort of a Royal Blood/White Stripes/Nirvana thing going. On my last EP I used a Vox Tube amp, I've also looked at a Fender Twin, but I'm planning on renting something for this weekend.

What type of amp would be best for recording that type of grunge/blues rock sound?

And

In general, what is your favourite recording amp and why?

I just turned 25, currently looking to purchase a freehold townhouse in an area where they go for about $225,000-300,000. I have no debt, $30,000 in savings and another $30,000 in mutual funds. I am a free lance contractor, however I have a steady 9-5 and make about $36,000/year. I don't really like the idea of being tied to my job and location for any extended period of time, however, I really like the idea of investing in a house and getting a return years later. If I could afford to do it for about 5 years and reap the appreciation I would stick it out. I don't want to burn money renting, but I also want some nice things over the next few years like food and water. Is it plausible?
