Push to your own local repo daily. Push to the actual users less frequently. Weekly, monthly, 3 months, just pick something reasonable and -stick to it-.

Yes, in USA you generally have to buy the book. In fact, because our teachers tend to get paid so little here, sometimes they will write a book, and then require the students buy that book to learn out of for the class. While this kind of s

I actually think this is a great question and I'm glad you asked it because it's such a common response to privacy. It's gotten good responses. The government is not perfect. It's made of people. People who may be racist

"Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say." -Edward Snowden

They were showing the comparative cost, not total cost. Using Uber all month, it's $250. If they used Lyft all month -instead-, it's $500. Bus -instead- it would be $100. On top of payments, when you factor in insurance and parkin

Uber is huge, it's recognizable, it's got interesting problems. Susan Fowler even wrote a bestselling book related to some of her work there. You get to work with a lot of smart people. That's a lot of motivation to try to st

You can use something like StayFocusd to force yourself off it. It won't allow you to reach the distracting websites no matter what you do. Forced boredom. Though personally I've found if I just log out of facebook and my personal

In my neck of the woods, they're usually on the walls. There doesn't appear to be any standard for how high to place them, it's just wherever it happens to fit. Probably fine for most adults, but shorties and children...nope.

I see both of those issues on both sides of the fence personally, just for different reasons. I live in Southern USA and there's a lot of agriculture here, a lot of the farmers I know are conservative and anti-GMO. But I think they

We lived without plastic for a long time. There are many different things that can replace it depending on the product. For example, we had glass bottles for a very long time and we washed them and reused them. You can use reusable bags at

It says they tweaked it per person, those are just approx amounts. They were measuring weight to make sure it stayed on track for that loss. So I think the deficit varies slightly. It says they picked people from the CPS(civilian public ser

That's what Walmart Grocery is. It's really neat. You order online and schedule a pickup for a day or two later. You pull up, call, and they bring it out to your car and load it up. It doesn't cost anything extra. I actually

Not a smoker, never been a smoker, agree with sanswork. Smokers are generally very inconsiderate about their habit. Not everyone, but most of them. They throw them on the ground even when there's an ashtray. They throw it out their car
