There are levels of trust. "Trust not to source and install malicious hardware in order to potentially steal unknown to them data" is a magnitude apart from "Trust not to go snooping around through unprotected photo albums.&q

It would be weird if you brought up your community theater role at a commercial audition and their question was "Is this going to make you any money?" Even if they don't consider community theater roles to be relevant experie

Yahoo tried to make Ymail a thing, but that was long after they'd lost most their market to Google.

Being able to get to you and actually taking a good route are two different things though. How did Cabbies know where to show up when called? Or did they not? I only ever took Taxis from places I could flag them down pre-Uber.

The g in dog is interesting, because while it's clearly a g in context, it would definitely read as an 8 in a vacuum.

The third reply strips so much away that the tone changes from tentative to apathetic. The third speaker is just doing the bare minimum to keep conversation moving.

The only problem with YYYY-MM-DD is that most of my non-digital use-cases don't require the year, and often not the month. Truncating information from the front-end isn't as intuitive.

Could also get weird and stuff it in the middle. >Hyenas gathered, by eating them, 9 Neanderthal skeletons. Which is even more awkward in actual use, but does make obvious the biggest problem with the sentence: you don't gather thin

Every piece of drug marketing I've ever seen has been accompanied by a comically long list of side-effects. What market are you seeing unregulated drug marketing in?

My father. Very informed, but his views don't quite line up with either political camp he has to choose from, so his motivation to engage with the system at all steadily dips. I mean, he still votes, but he's less enthused by it e

Their claim wasn't that early deciding voters are more informed, but that more informed voters decide earlier. IE: That more informed voters are a subset of the population of early deciding voters. The counterpoint would be informed vo

I'd be willing to guess that the common denominator in those scenes is that the GP encountered them as teenagers. I've met plenty of introspective and self-aware Goths, but self-aware teenagers are rare.

>Nobody was jealous of the supposed freedom that these people had, so much as they were amused (or appalled) at the absurd lack of introspection and awareness they exhibited by latching onto a played out trend. Mocking them was just as m

Right, and the host is only making a meaningful choice in the 2/3 scenarios where you didn't pick the car in the first place.

Because in 2/3 scenarios you had to make the host choose the door without a car?

Yeah, libraries are great an all, but wouldn't you rather they be the size of a mailbox and full of junk?

Their comment was on people moving from traditional nomadic life to modern education within a lifetime. How are Asian Americans relevant to that situation in the slightest? Because both groups of people happen to be Asian?

I did that with pants in high school, wearing 5 identical pairs of black dockers that fit my after-school job dress code. Worked fine until another kid pulled me aside and asked if I needed help getting another pair of pants.

My memory of that time is that most people took to that hard challenge by just side-stepping and linking off-platform. Jokes would be crafted into 140 characters, serious discussion would be a link to your blog.

I'm curious about who holds the rights to that image. I'm a little surprised I've never seen a version of it adapted as a t-shirt, it's so ubiquitous here.

I had a particularly smart and runty beagle when I was a kid that watched the cats jump the fence once, and then worked out that she could leave whenever she wanted.

But you don't mean that literally, hence your use of vague generalizations like "tribe" and "media leaders." You don't mean specific people, you mean a broad range of people that you have grouped into all holdi
