   Well then that's my excuse! I thought it did, so I was making sure to point the controller in the proper direction, while my opponent was cheating and flicking it any which way. Look, it wasn't my fault, ok?

   I imagine a vigorous game of Wii Tennis will cause those candles to flicker. And will provide a convenient excuse why I was unable to return that serve.

   The whole point of cloud storage is so I can access the same trashcan from work, from home, or when I'm on the go. Are you seriously suggesting that when I'm at the coffee shop, I use their trashcan for this purpose? I miss “Don’t

   This is the last straw for me. I use the Trash feature to hold my most valuable files. If it's safely stored in the trash, I can't accidentally delete it, right? Looking for recommendations for non-Google trashcans that provide st

   Ok, but what are the implications of that? If I own 0.001% of a private company—having decided to opt out during this process—am I at the mercy of that company in the future to determine how much they're willing to buy me out for? How

   Why can't the app just talk directly to the car? No Internet needed at all[1]. NAT shouldn't even come into it. Local Wi-Fi or Bluetooth should work. [1] Well, I suppose if you're not near the car, Internet would be needed.

   Thanks. I should have listened to the small voice in my head before posting that. So while BRK isn't crushing the index, would it be fair to say it "lagged" the market over the past 15 years? Seems pretty close, but I don&#x2

    That's funny. If I had heard about that product when it was announced, I probably would have backed it. I used to use an iOS app called FreakyAlarm. It had all sorts of features to enforce wake up time. You could set it to just require

    You made me look it up, and it turns out I was using it correctly. But it's funny, because I had originally written "jives", then second-guessed myself and changed it to "jibes." I had never seen the "gybes&quo

    That jibes with my impression of the decisions I’ve seen. You and a sibling comment are giving me these stats and I’m not sure if that’s to refute or support my point? 1/3 of decisions being split like that is quite a bit. 1/3 bei

    The Supreme Court is not just another legislative branch. But that being said, have you seen how many decisions are 5-4? Or 6-3, 7-2? It does not appear that whatever friendship that existed between Scalia and Ginsburg impacted their ruling

    If the brushed lines are uniform, they might have half the state, right? A center cube could be at 0˚ or at 180˚ and the pattern could still line up. I've never seen one, so I don't know if that's the case or not. I also don&

    Everything you wrote is true, except the huge payday and the mansion in Hawaii. Nah, the plot twist was that we were all in our early 20s, and had mismatched schedules. Whatever annoyance my morning routine caused was matched with their lat

    I swear I've posted this before: I used to have a job that required me to be up at 4 or 5am. I am not a morning person, and this requirement was equivalent to a normal person being told they need to write their weekly sales reports u

    I believe it’s possible for the center faces to be rotated in the solution? Now it’s up to you if you consider that a separate permutation or not. (I don’t) But yeah, every other piece is two or three colors, and therefore has only one allo

    Well in that case, #1 is a misinformed argument. #2 is the reason districts are gerrymandered. The party in charge of drawing the lines will—as a side effect–create some safe seats for the minority party. And in doing so, will retain contro

    Technically, probably not too difficult. Business-wise, it would be a disaster. As soon as it was discovered (or disclosed) that the trainer saying, “Good hustle, Janet!” is an AI robot, Janet is not going to react the same way.

    I’ll give it a shot. Useful stress is something you can relieve through action. You study and learn the thing, and pass the test. Or you have that difficult conversation. Once you go through it, you feel a sense of pride and accomplishment

    On the contrary, he's making sure that Boies isn't going to weasel meaning into his responses. Demanding that questions be more precisely-worded than they are.
