It seems positive from what he says, but we only have one side of the story. How does the daughter feel about having a father she sees so infrequently? Is it hard on her? Does she wonder why he won't come help her when she calls him ou

Couldn't you just take a screenshot of the original pic to get around this? The new image would have a completely different hash. Or just resize it. Or do some color correction. Or a million other ways to alter the picture.

It's the Third Ferengi Rule of Acquisition. "Never spend more for an acquisition than you have to." Do you need to spend money on very best to code a simple CRUD page?

Sure, but lots of people code switch. As a southern white guy, I also don't speak on interviews the same way I do to my friends. Even around other southerns, you want to "turn it down" in a professional setting. I don't

Sure, and many rules of AAVE are more consistent. For instance take the following words in standard English: * yourself * myself * ourselves * himself * itself One of these things is not like the other! All of the

Yeah, this. It's called "code switching" and we all do it. The way you talk to your boss is not the way you talk to your friends is not the way you talk to your Grandpa is not the way you talk on Facebook etc.

I like coffee. Mostly because it tastes good, and I kind of like the ritual. In the last few years I've really gotten into it more. I use a coffee press and grind my beans fresh every morning. However, I don't like being a zombie,

On the other hand, there's no real point in supporting Windows 7 now. It's only two years away from EOL.

The CEO is right that it boils down to being one person's fault. He should know since he sees him every day in the mirror.

My brother is in a bluegrass band. They've been around for 10 years now, and there's a lot of music they've played so many times I'm sure they could do it in their sleep. There are a few songs that I really do think they

It is not a fallacy to think that if we ban a previously allowed form of speech, it would set precedent to make it easier to ban other forms of speech. Yes it is. There are lots of things it's already illegal to say. In fact, banning

First, we're not talking about any random group of white supremacists. We're talking about literal Nazis. Second, the slippery slope is a fallacy. Literally. The "slippery slope fallacy" is a textbook fallacy. In this in

Planning to kill someone is a "thoughtcrime" and illegal. More to the point, you're engaging in the slippery slope fallacy. Being a Nazi and espousing the ideology is actually a crime in Germany, and they haven't descend

by Pharylon 9y ago
The Nazi ideology is to commit genocide. There's an argument to be made that being a Nazi is the equivalent of planning a murder. Let's not kid ourselves. If these guys took over, they'd kill people, and they're not shy

Very true. Honestly, unless I really listen for it, I don't notice when someone has my own area's accent vs a "generic TV" accent. And they're pretty different! I do notice if it's not mine, though. I'm

I'm from the Piedmont too, Gaston County to be specific. I know what you mean. Most of the time you'd just ask if they wanted a drink, and by context they knew what you meant. I'd say "soft drink" only if I needed t

On the "soda vs pop vs coke" question, as a child I would have never used any of those words. Here in Western NC, we said "soft drink" for sweet carbonated beverages. People my age (late 30s) and older still do, but the

Of course you have an accent, everyone does. What you mean is you have an generic American "TV accent."

The Ocracoke Brogue has always fascinated me. A tiny, dying dialect that sounds nothing like the rest of the American South. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7MvtQp2-UA

I have an Angular 1.x app bundled with Webpack, which allows me some nice ES6 features. I especially like it for imports (which allows much better code completion than Angular's native Dependency Injection). Configuring Webpack to do t

With all their bad press, I'm actually kind of surprised anyone would purposely open an account with them right now. I'm not even up-to-date on whatever crap they're pulling today, but they're on my mental list of "

The WHO isn't a great source for breast feeding, because of weird political and historical reasons. In the 1960s, Nestle started pushing formula hard in developing countries in Africa. And by "pushing," I mean they hired peop

by Pharylon 9y ago
Yeah, breastfeeding can take 4-6 hours a day. It's no simple thing. And if the mother is working, it's hard . Even pumping milk takes time. Women who can afford to breastfeed exclusively are at least middle class, usually upper-m

Well, there's gendered and then there's gendered . Some things are explicitly gendered, like GI Joe or Barbie. Some things are implicitly gendered, like Legos. There's nothing about then that makes them "for boys."
