Knives and knife sharpening is a hobby for some people. These people are going to think any knife under $500 is garbage and any knife they didn't sharpen themselves is dull. They have their mind made up already.

My own two eyes? At least ~30%+ of Amazon's products are cheap Chinese garbage resold from Albiaba under 10+ different "brands." (private label) There's are also tons of very obvious fake and counterfeit products that co

A key fob (a current implementation) is a better than a ring. You probably already have to have your keys to leave the house (lock door, start car) so it's not another thing to remember. Key fobs are a single standard size and keyfobs

It's a couple minute procedure likened to removing a splinter. Also, you don't really have to get it removed if you don't want to, it can be inactivated without your involvement.

This isn't new tech - RFID is an extremely common and well vetted implementation for physical security. This only replaces the fobs you have to carry with you (usually key fob or credit card sized fob) with a microscopic one under your

Just because you enjoy doing something doesn't mean you will enjoy doing it for 40+ hours a week for 45 years. I actually do enjoy programming and I get paid (well) to do it but going to work is certainly not "awesome," and

From the article I posted in the GP: >I miss teaching a lot. Every day, in fact. But the truth is I’m so much happier than I’ve ever been. Getting out of teaching and not being emotionally invested in my work has forced me to do things b

I frequently get screenshots pasted into PowerPoint "presentations". Couple times I even got a photo of the monitor taken with a cellphone camera. I don't fault them for this in the least because they did what they knew how t

Snipping tool doesn't have shapes or text input, all the tools are freehand. I don't want to email a client with chicken scratch that looks like a child's doodle, that's unprofessional.

Why are you just assuming that the company was his alone and she had no ownership at the time of the divorce?

There's a huge middle ground between "serious image editing" and "quick one-off screenshot that looks professional."

Why though? Paint is already perfect. It's ubiquitous, doesn't require a download and install (there's locked down machines), loads instantly, and the UI is incredibly simple and intuitive. Though if I ever need "adv

You're being completely disingenuous, that's absolutely terrible. My use case for Paint is highlighting one off screenshots for clients and the like. Nobody is going to send your sort of screenshot in a professional environment, i

No? What use would that have? Even if it were useful, you can already feel your heart beat if you are concentrating on it. Even if you lacked this ability you can feel, at least, changes in your heart rate. Even if you couldn't do eith

I have maxed out the number of cards PayPal allows you to link to your account for years (8 or 9 cards I think) plus two bank accounts. Yet I haven't had any issues with unauthorized charges.

How on Earth do I, personally, "figure out the market rate" for my job? The market gives me either no information or false information (at the very least unverifiable and untrustworthy information). I can ask my coworkers their sa
