My favorite thing about the old chalkboards was how my elementary school teachers used a damp chamois to wipe them clean, leaving a perfect, even swathe of green where they wiped.

How much is a 20 year supply?

Yup, if you want to hit the big time, you have to try, and try, and try again and again and again, and never give up. This is what I'm repeatedly told. Trying again is expensive though.

I think you could apply the same thing to an indoor area. Make it feel like a truly public place, with comfortable seating areas, buskers, pretty things to look at, more local products and less bland chains, and less pressure to buy stuff.

No, but there's a few cougars. They're generally not allowed to stay in urban areas unless they can keep totally out of sight though.

If I had kids under 12, I'd be all about grocery delivery. In my town you can order groceries online and delivery is about 5 bucks if your purchase is over $50 - not taskrabbit or anything, but the store's own delivery service. I&

> Meeting people requires talking. Earplugs, like the headphones I wear in the office, are a social signal to tell people "don't talk to me". That's a hell of a sacrifice to make based on something that's almost

No, Canadian here, which explains most of the price difference as well. CAD is weak at the moment. There's a waterproof sleeve thing that you can use for swimming - I believe that was $700. There's a bluetooth dongle that works wi

"Crappy" is one way of putting it. Those 16 frequencies, for me, are the difference between a life worth living, and a life in crippling, hopeless isolation, ended by suicide at an early age.

Yep, and the reason why governments are useful in the first place. To protect us against capitalism failures.

I'm doing a little better with a Cochlear Freedom. Granted the processor costs $15,000 out of pocket, but my last one lasted 7 years without problems, and my replacement cost was reduced to about $700 through a government program. Said

I got a similar result from quitting dairy, for a couple years at least, but correlation =/= causation.

Why are you assuming most in Europe and the US would be vaccinated? If it's not life-threatening, most people won't bother. Most people don't even bother to get the flu vaccine each year. I got a Hep B vaccination when I went

I don't know what the case is in NE US, but in my town in British Columbia, the deer population is out of control in the metropolitan area, and every time a cull is mentioned, animal rights activists put a stop to it through loud and e

For me, it's when I've expended some effort to gain a new piece of knowledge. I'll have to redo the (debugging process/google trail/staring into space thinking real hard) from scratch next time I do it, because it&#

I've given up on organizing. I find things with ctrl-f and put the date siren every time I start writing, so if I know generally when something happened, I can go back and find it.

If you ask too many of these questions you're going to set off red flags that you're an entitled person who's looking to receive more value than you contribute. I'd focus more on asking about the company's future pl

Most companies should have that explained on their website - If you haven't done enough diligence to repeat what's on the website, you may not be a good candidate.

Another Canadian here. Can confirm, white people dating people of other colors does not inspire any particular comment, in school or elsewhere.

Love this idea. I'm going to whip something up for monitoring the market for two or three models of hatchback that I'd like to buy at some point in the next year or so.

Bring a warm jacket, OP. It's the last thing you think about in the summer heat, but if you somehow end up standing around on a lonely road in the middle of the night, it gets surprisingly cold, even in California! And take some pictur

"Many". Not all. Not even most. But enough to make it noticeable to me. I have no citation, perhaps your experience has been different.

Yup. And that's exactly why more experienced programmers will stay the hell away.

I'll tackle this. - If they are expected to do 5-10 times the amount of software development as a regular new programmer, are they going to be offered 5-10 times the regular salary? - Are all the other programmers at the company dramat

First you have to make the case that it's actually a problem. Test scores didn't go up. So what? Is it actually a problem if the scores just stay the same? I mean, they can only get so high before you have to start screwing with t
