I've written to my local library organization suggesting cafe areas in some of the bigger libraries. Never heard back, but I really hope they think about it. It could raise some money and improve patronage. The local library is much mo

I've stopped playing games regularly, but I still listen to Ryan and the bombcast crew on my commute because they create such an enjoyable podcast. I'm sad to hear the news about Ryan.

The rainbow (though still used in pride events here) has retained a non-cultural symbolism here in Hawaii due primarily to the prevalence of them on a daily basis. It's not uncommon to see people walking around with a rainbow motif on

Depression (specifically Bipolar disorder, since it's the disorder I'm most educated on) is almost certainly as fatal as diabetes and more fatal than many forms of cancer. 1 in 3 sufferers of Bipolar disorder attempt suicide and 1

More specifically, lifeguards are taught to turn their heads (so the chin is over the shoulder) and push up on the victim. This makes the victim feel safer by getting them further out of the water, and puts some distance between you and the

We do active drowning victim training in which we lose our floatation device. Part of our training includes freeing ourselves from the victim. I've personally never had a victim panic when I got close to the point of endangering me. We

Obviously, you'd be expecting to win the case, but litigation doesn't always go as planned. If I'm SmallCorp suing BigCorp, I may have one in house lawyer who is handling the litigation. SmallCorp Lawyer charges hourly rate X

Would that also prevent smaller entities from suing larger ones for fear of having to eat the gigantic legal fees if they lost? I see the benefits from both systems, not sure which I would be a proponent of.

I don't think you're insensitive, but on a site which wants to foster users who care about their profile and persona on the site, freedom to display a username how they like could be a valuable feature.

I submitted this because of the impressive level of introspection Patton Oswalt displays in this letter. It's a fantastic piece on different perspectives and allowing yourself to change your view, especially on something you care deepl

Just as an aside, I usually see LMGTFY as a snarky, condescending way to send people in the right direction with some chiding for not searching for themselves. Your post suggests just the opposite, as you seem genuinely happy to help and po

Breakfast in Kailua is awesome. I'm a Cinnamon's fan myself, but I know a lot of people are Boots and Kimos guys. I really love Kalapawai (both locations) and the morrocan place is a pretty nice spot. Kailuans (?) seem to have a s

I didn't think about high value items. That's a good use case for bitcoin at vending machines.

I'm not making any justification in my post. I'm just saying that an affair/adultery by someone who holds national security information and a clearance is different than Joe Civilian. There are security interests in monitoring people who ho
