Perhaps "aficionado" would be better, you know, for classy porn.

Ah yes, the TSA spreading germs & whatnot from passenger to passenger. If getting searched/patted down, demand they change gloves before conducting it. If they say they are out, hand them a pair. I always travel with a couple of pair

Not a new phenomenon in the respect that fans have wanted their stars/objects of their adoration to be "always on" 24/7. Personally I find it interesting to see a different side of people known for one thing, be it comedy, science, politics

Just wait until these posts, check ins, tweets & whatnot wind up as a vast database of where you are, have been and are likely to go. Yeah, reading that back it sounds a bit 1984-ish, but then again a lot does these days.

My friends know a certain bench at the beach with a beautiful view and a nearby internet cafe to be my two "Santa Monica Beach Offices" which I try to frequent at least a few times a week. Mental clarity and calm is priceless and those spo

What worries me is that while the government may inefficiently try to haul Assange into court and call him a terrorist, the banking & finance elite may just decide he should have an "accident." I wouldn't put it past them.

I also see it as following the motion picture marketing model. Build interest months before the release, develop buzz, and then increase that to a countdown ramp-up. Seems to work quite well, and indeed you are correct it does keep individ

I don't know if it reads back to you the way I read it, but your descriptions sound like anyone less than a business superstar is a failure. They are either amazing or shitty with no in-between, which is not the case in the real world. It

So if I understand you correctly, rather than answering the "how do I find an engineer" question posed by the OP, you are instead suggesting that unless you are a very successful in the business world you should just forget it. Is that wha

Sadly the tone of your answer seems to imply that 'non-technical' people are basically worthless until they've gone out & made it big in the world. Consider that if the money, connections, sales skills & knowledge were already there

I knew a fellow who was fairly rich from years of accumulating rental properties. He just worked because he enjoyed it. He called his passive rental income his "Fuck You Money" and behaved accordingly. Never rude, just not afraid to spea

I heartily agree. Getting someone to do you a favor, even a small one, is indeed a very effective way to gain trust & build rapport. When I first learned of this concept I was skeptical, so I made a conscious effort to see if it would

See, this is where a fake notification date for the 3rd could be useful. That way when you get notified a day early on the 2nd, you are pleasantly surprised and haven't been dwelling on it all day.

The lending industry is so predatory these days it would make Jaws swim away in fear.

One of the few writers who doesn't constantly churn out cop/doctor/lawyer dramas over & over & over. Just once I'd like to see a show about postal workers or trashmen or even construction crews. Anything but another cop/doctor/lawy

Just convince the board that you are a CEO and they should hire you. It worked for a friend I know who is a film producer who faked his early resumé as "Producer" and kept getting hired as a such. He would hire good staff & they'd pret

Did the candy companies secretly own stock in the poison, razor blade & stick-pin companies? That could actually be a fun parallel universe conspiracy theory story for the Onion.

I love the crows that drop nuts in crosswalks & retrieve the yummy treats after they've been run over by cars. That they learned to use crosswalks to get a break in traffic cycles rather than dropping them in the middle of the intersec

What I'd really like to see is for more kids without the financial means to be given a chance to study abroad. Living in other cultures changes your perspective on the entire world, and it saddens me that it is typically the more privilege

Sorry to disagree, but saying, "Business plans are always wrong so stop obsessing about them!" is a foolish and cocksure attitude and a good way to suddenly get hit with a dreaded, "oh, I didn't think about that" moment when the fecal matte

Sure it's a neat backdoor, but does it play Global Thermonuclear War?

Agreed, the risk of libel/slander/defamation is typically too great to be worth any such threats even if they do make you feel better. It is like the old angry email technique: if you must vent, write what you want in a non-email format an

My grandfather worked until 84 simply because he loved his job & co-workers. Had he not been mugged he would likely have worked up until his death. He was not wealthy but was a very happy man. What he taught by example was that whethe

You know things have gotten bad when that actually sounds like a feasible possibility.

Marketing is crucial indeed. It irks me to no end that so many have faith in the "If we build it they will come" business model. Word of mouth only goes so far. You can have the best site in the entire world but if nobody knows about it y

There is a good reason to find a talented technical co-founder. Just saying, "Learn to code yourself" is in some ways akin to saying, "Don't hire a lawyer, just go to law school." Sure, a "can do" attitude is great, and coding is very lear

You guys really do an exceptional job running the site, kudos for that (and yes, that includes the chocolate covered granola bars if you so wish). The community has really evolved into something pretty awesome.

This is a key consideration. Reddit is pretty frakkin big and yet still remains relatively well balanced depending on your subreddits. What I've been impressed with on many occasions is the community keeping in check the over-the-top comme

Less than 25 minutes you should feel refreshed, more than that you may feel groggy. Even if you only go into "standby" mode and don't actually sleep, the downtime typically leaves you feeling refreshed. I worked a show with 70+ hour weeks
