I know right? And you can forget about me buying a car from the country that bombed Pearl Harbor! I'm the sort of guy who holds multigenerational grudges you see. Who cares if all the men involved with that unpleasantness are long o

Because I don't want a side of headache served with my burger. I'll walk five minutes down the street to the burger shop instead. No traffic, just some fresh air.

Yeah my sennheiser HD 4.40 seem to last a week or more on a charge, with several hours of use a day. This company hasn't disappointed me yet.

The first amendment is obsolete because the founding fathers never could have anticipated the invention of fully automatic assault printing presses!

Sometimes too much, sometimes probably not enough. Ear infections are pretty common for swimmers, but I made a point of shaking water out of my ears whenever I got out of the pool and swabbing them dry after practice, and I never had any p

Or the moron goes to the hardware store and buys a bottle of acid instead. Or, in cases more typical than either of these, the moron is an ex-husband and uses his fists. There is no substitute for privacy.

Privacy for me, not for thee.

I honestly doubt it. The unpleasant sensation of having my ears filled with goop is far stronger than any caution advised on the package. And those who don't experience this don't have a reason to use them, even if they are adve

After twelve years of being in a high risk group with no trouble at all, I just don't take this supposed risk seriously. If I was ever going to get an ear infection, I think it would have happened by now. My 'single datapoint&#x

Q-Tip brand q-tips are made of paper. As far as I'm concerned, they're the superior product all around, all the alternatives I've seen have inferior fluffiness. I'm not usually one for brand loyalty, but in this instan

I believe an example is the use of alcohol to delay the onset of frostbite, at the cost of hastening the onset of hypothermia. Given the later is more immediately lethal and is accompanied by a loss of rationality, it would be irresponsibl

I've been using q-tips every day for as long as I can remember, and have never had any wax buildup (according to my doctors, who look in my ears) and I've never had an ear infection either. This is despite spending 12 years as a

'Choke up' on the q-tip, holding it closer to the business end such that your fingers prevent it from being inserted further than intended. That's what I do anyway. YMMV of course, particularly since earwax consistency is ap

Indoors 'during the daytime' is still pretty dark in a great many rooms, often due to the preference of the rooms occupants. So it really has little to do with the time of day. Right now it's early in the afternoon for me;

Is that because your grandmother doesn't understand the question/choice, or did she evaluate the two options and decide which she prefers? I think if I asked my grandmother a question like that she'd probably get concerne

Because it's a dick move to waste people's time, and it's also a dick move to expect 'but I'm maximizing shareholder value!' to make people feel better about their time being wasted.

You say you can't fathom it, but then you seem to subsequently fathom it. Dark themes are nice in dark rooms. If you assume most people spend most of their screen time in well lit environments, then puzzlement might seem warranted.

> Paper is black on white for a reason That's a bullshit argument when you're talking about technology thousands of years old made with material constraints. How would parchment be rendered black, smear it with soot, which w

No, you can have both. It's as simple as the author explaining what they mean. But this also requires the author to actually know what they're talking about, and popsci article authors very often don't.

Facebook radicalized weird uncles, but twitter radicalized journalists.

Yeah, I agree that your characterization of the situation is fair. If I went through what they went through, I think I would find it fairly traumatic.

Yes of course, hence 'obstensibly'. Maybe that's not quite the right word, but I mean the reason claimed by officials, not the true reason.

Shoes are obstensibly removed to prevent the destruction of planes, not their hijacking. The problem of planes being hijacked was solved around 10am on 2001/9/11, before the government got involved. And if passengers fighting ba

Normally I would agree with you. However in this case we also know this person is now involved with an ICO scheme. This puts the situation into the realm of 'where there's smoke...'

It won't be that until I'm allowed to keep my shoes on and bring a liter bottle of seltzer water with me when I fly.

If you're shoveling twice a day, you should consider doing as they do in Alaska and simply stop shoveling it. Drive on the snow if it's snowing so much that you have to shovel twice a day.
