It seems very unlikely that discriminating against red-haired people would survive a challenge since it is strongly correlated with specific races. i.e. "we don't serve people with dark very curly hair", good luck with that o

High speed trains only reach high speeds because they don't stop. They're not high acceleration and deceleration trains. MNR has too many stops (and curves, but setting that aside) for high speed to matter. Of course, you can run

My techie friends in New York tend to be the ones taking the interesting vacations because they have a lot more money. New York and Bay Area tech companies can pay two or three times what the suburban office park type companies pay, and the

Can you just rent a car and drive? With a second person you wouldn't really need anywhere to sleep.

> You probably won't get home Monday. New York to/from SC is an 11 hour drive without stopping, and the eclipse in the afternoon, so definitely.

That would be a weird autocorrect, since clang is an actual word.

Given a $10 theater and a $20 theater with reasonable geographic similarity, people that choose the $20 one should be more invested in actually seeing the movie and not just goofing off for a few hours. It's really teenagers that need

Beating delivery/take-out at home isn't really unreasonable, unless you live on top of the pizzeria or something. It loses a lot in the box, with a baking steel preheated under the broiler, your homemade and immediately eaten pie

Neither me nor my girlfriend own a car or a house (and hopefully we never will). Why would either of those be an issue? Plenty of people date and live together in apartments.

No, Swift requires "any as? Cast" which returns "Optional<Cast>" (or you can use "any as! Cast" which at least crashes instead of happily proceeding with the wrong type).

I'm interested to see what will happen to HBO Now subscriptions after next summer. Will it be sticky enough?

Stack Exchange moderators needing to constantly delete comment threads with "use chat" has to be one of the biggest case of desire lines online I've seen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desire_path

Yeah, I had something delivered the day after I went on vacation and it just sat in the entrance for a few weeks, then I took it upstairs when I got home. This is in Brooklyn FWIW.

Uber might improve "customer value", but as someone that takes a cab once every three months or so, cars with TLC license plates constantly failing to yield to my attempts to use a crosswalk have not improved my experience. I&#x27

Is there a more recent game that has taken over that position, or is Crysis still the benchmark? It's super old now! (not really into games anymore so no idea myself)

With 7 years experience you might be able to double or more than double that income at a larger company in New York, FWIW.

My experience is that dressing in black does stand out. Most everyday people wear colors, even in New York, so it's much more striking to wear all black/monochrome - especially if you get interesting streetwear-y pieces. Or go f

No one covers their tattoos (except because it's cold) or shaves (because they're required to, obviously a lot of people shave) in New York tech offices. And, um, there's a lot of tattoos and beards among New York tech hipste

At $200 you can buy Outlier pants (or Mission Workshop, no experience with those though). At $400 you can buy freaking Arc'teryx Veilance pants. That's way too much for something that is just cotton (and not even etaProof or anyth

Heroin, LSD, etc. use really doesn't affect me. I don't care if people use it, and don't want the government to waste money fighting it or whatever they do. I don't care if people manufacture it, as long as they follow a

Clif bars are candy, but this would be a much more interesting comparison with Quest Bars.

by chris_7 9y ago
Quest Bars have better much macros (barely any net carbs, plenty of fiber and protons) than that, though you'd need to eat ~two to hit the same calorie count. Any reason it needs to be a drink?
