Anyone else think this could have very well been a father teaching his child how to use current caveman technology? Like a bow and arrow. "It doesn't work when you hold your thumb there. Good. Now pull the arrow back and release."

Get potstickers, use ~5 for every bowl of ramen. Eat the raman, then a carrot. I am highly anticipating Roger Ebert's book "The Pot And How To Use It." A rice cooker pot, not marijuana -- I got excited, too. The book sounds like it'll be a

It's not like I was out-of-the-blue busting her balls. Say I see this in a woman's profile: "I've mastered the art of unwrapping a Starburst in my mouth." You can be sure you'll find something like this in my first message to her: "Awesome,

I send lovely introductory messages. Here's a real response: "First, please allow me to thank you for sending me a message that doesn't suck." Everyone I have messaged, who has responded, says something along those lines. However, in this p

Good timing. On OkCupid I was just told that I am an asswipe, that I have no personality, and no respect. Brought back some bad schoolyard emotions. Thanks.

Hint to others: Nab the good usernames while they're still around. I'll put up a profile and see what happens, as I'm not having much luck searching for people with my taste in books. I see great potential. I'm debating putting my profile n

I can't think of a worse kind of person. Glen Beck obviously isn't the worst in this category.

If what you have to say is a little trite, then why repeat it here? You even acknowledge this in saying "we all know. . . ." So. . . . I suspect you think that your comment was worthwhile, in which case I don't get it.

"Speaks out against progressivism. . ."? Are you saying that he's bringing to light some caustic force within our country called "progressivism?" I can imagine a lot of ignorant people mumbling and nodding their heads in agreement, with ima

Just a heads up, seeing as you're pretty new. URL shorteners aren't advocated or necessary here on HN. http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2009/05/boldrin_on_inte.htm...

Good job Judge Robert Sweet! The consequences of these patents are quite monstrous.

In high school, there were a few months where I managed to arrange my sleeping schedule so I slept from when when I got home from school to about 11pm-1am. It worked really well, but my mom didn't like it.

Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome Holy crap, what I do has a name . That's comforting. This "syndrome" comes and goes in cycles, for me. Currently, I'm enjoying regular "day" days. In about a two weeks I'll naturally switch into nocturnal mod

This is a great example of unbiased writing. I didn't think I was going to read the whole thing, but I did just to see how the author would handle such a taboo subject.

On Godwin's Law from Wikipedia: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1." Now I'm really interested to know what he said. I'm guessing he made some comparison between Nin

I do this as well. I do it so, when my attention gets diverted, I can quickly start from where I left off since it'll be highlighted. The obsessive clicking is because I'm obsessive.

I'm seeing you pop up all over the place on HN with these, frankly, bad comments. You're currently at -7 karma. Lurk more, or do whatever you have to do to increase the quality of your comments.

I feel like I've been getting less intelligent, like my brain is dry, un-lubricated, and pumping sand. I used to be so smug about my intelligence, too. Even declining the gifted and talented program. I was an arrogant kid. I was never taugh
