I used to work in a busy downtown area of the east bay and we used to get a lot of the loud bike with loud stereo rolling through. What other possible motivation could there be for such a thing than wanting the attention? South Park hit the

This plus the anxiety of thinking you are bad at everything despite evidence to the contrary.

I had a similar experience recently because I called out that the name brand webcam was not in retail packaging. That was the last electronics purchase I’ll likely ever make from Amazon. I ended up returning it and actually found one at Bes

I ordered a printer from Staples with an estimated delivery date about a week and a half out. When I checked on that order a few days later the delivery date had been changed to over a month out. It changed every time I checked, sometimes s

It takes a great deal of work, and my accuracy is still meh, but it can be done. In person interactions wind up being a balancing act between parsing the social cues (verbal and nonverbal) and listening to the words being said. Never both a

I made the switch maybe 5ish years ago when I felt the early signs of RSI. It took a few weeks of regular practice to get up to a somewhat productive speed, then a few more months to reach my previous speed. Now I would say I'm faster

As someone who lost 80 pounds cutting out junk food, sugar, and carb heavy foods while watching my older brother continue to struggle with his weight and accompanying health issues, I heartily agree.

I only recently, as in two weeks ago, purchased my first home automation product in the form of a few Philips hue bulbs. Not so much for the automation aspect, but the ability to control the color temp and brightness. The automation will be

This is the approach I have always tried to take. Unfortunately it seems that most employers now want Angular/React/Vue experience so you wind up with devs shoving it in to projects where it's not really needed just to get th

It definitely sounds like they had staffing or policy issues. I work from a space similar to how you described DeskHub, including a few small teams in the common area. The noise policy in the common area is very clear and allows for relativ

Because there are some factors that are simply out of ones control that affect athletic ability. Should students also be graded on how much weight they can lift? How flexible they are? How far they can hit a softball? Is it fair to let that

I gained a deep, searing hatred of team sports due to a combination of forced participation and being a physically awkward teen in the middle of an epic growth spurt. Being graded on ones ability to complete a mile within a certain time con

My doctor actually transitioned me to Prozac from Effexor to help with the withdrawal symptoms. After slowly reducing the Effexor dosage to 37.5 mg, I switched to Prozac for a couple of weeks then simply stopped. I still experienced some sy

Same here. As I have lost significant amount of weight over the past 18 months, the higher pressure actually became an impediment to restful sleep. A quick google search and a couple nights of trial-and-error and I was good to go. Which rem

As a former Phoenix resident, I completely understand the resistance to speed cameras. They are always touted as a public safety measure, but widely regarded as little more than a revenue machine. In my experience, the trigger speed was alw

About four years ago I began experiencing some of the early symptoms of RSI, so I decided give Dvorak a try as an experiment. My personal experience is that it has increased typing comfort, my RSI symptoms went away, and my typing speed is

I actually discovered this by accident one morning a couple of years ago. We do get the occasional sub-freezing morning temperatures here during winter. One such morning I used my windshield washers and wound up with a nice, blinding sheet

California native here. What is this 'winter' you speak of? In all seriousness, it takes about a month or more worth of dust buildup before the view out of my windshield can be considered to have been obscured in any way. Thankful

I wasn't sure if it was just an issue of my browser, plugins, or the site was just agonizingly slow. Apparently it was the latter.
