So what exactly does that mean? If I'm driving from Chicago to Milwaukee will my compass say I'm heading South?

I probably had a handful of days per year in high school with that much homework, and it was always because I let it pile up until the night before it was due. The sad thing is that nobody cares about your education once you finish it. I

Not buying it. She may have taken 6 - 10 hours to get her homework done, but my wager is that she was spending 80% of her time on her phone or otherwise not working effectively. My kids are in high school now and they do not have any more

Well a few decades ago it was nuclear annihilation. I was a teen then, and it was more scary than climate change if you were the sort of kid who worried about stuff.

The phone is going to be niche regardless, and its likely users will be able to solve those problems their own way if GNOME apps are usable. Everyone is different, but for me, 90% of my phone usage is: phone calls (I have no landline phone

It's a NEXTSTEP legacy. Any MacOS application that uses the standard UI text field classes (NSText, NSTextView, etc) will get the emacs-like key shortcut behaviors. The NS prefix on those classes means "NEXTSTEP" Microsoft Of

I like using autocutsel to manage the clipboards. Description: Autocutsel tracks changes in the server's cutbuffer and CLIPBOARD selection. When the CLIPBOARD is changed, it updates the cutbuffer. When the cutbuffer is changed, it own

I remember when CNN launched. News all day was a novelty; no other TV network was like it. I was a kid, but it did seem to me to be much more conservative (in the sense of not overtly sensational) and "straight" news at the time

I saw this and wanted to try to adapt it to hockey, and had the same sort of thoughts. It's a start, but not nearly enough to produce useful game video breakdown for a coach.

The point is, that owners of traditional cars don't have to "plan" road trips unless they just like doing that sort of thing. I know when I have to make a 300+ mile drive I don't plan it at all, I just set off knowing th

If you take a full load of summer classes you can get a four year undergraduate degree done in 2-ish years.

Do we think skipping out on a bond is OK? If you are really wanting to do that, don't carry a phone around with you.

Israel is much closer to the western point of view on human rights for one thing. It's OK for there to be an objective right and wrong in a conflict.

Exactly. Early morning routine becomes getting kids out of bed, dressed, fed, and off to school. If you're getting up before THAT to do your own things, it would need to be really early.

There was also the women's lingerie and undergarment section of the catalog, which was as close to porn as you could easily get for a boy in the 1970s.

Target is a step below JCPenny or Sears, IMO. You could get decent dress cloths at either of the former, but the best that Target carries is still pretty bad. I don't think you can buy a suit at Target at all. Pennys and Sears also use

At that time, they may not have had a central database of what items were in stock in which stores. Might not have been possible to route the order to the closest store that had the item. Agreed that Sears never moved much beyond the 1970s

What is the point of Kenmore now? They were never their own product, just a re-badged Amana, Whirlpool, or GE (variously) appliances.

At least at Harbor Freight you know what you're getting and it's priced accordingly. Craftsman tools were expensive, at one time deservedly so but by the end the were just riding on the name to put a high price on cheap imported t

Same experience. Sears was an anchor tenant at the local mall for decades. In that time they never did a significant rehab. When they finally closed a few years ago, it was still like stepping into the 1970s to shop there.

Right, but you need a certain amount of forward speed relative to descent to maintain that AoA (assuming you want to maintain a fairly gradual, level descent; most passengers would find a steep nose-down descent alarming). If you scrub off
