Its really not. If it sounds like a dishwasher it just isn't the same. That being said, it is rude to use excessive throttle in residential areas after hours.

Sounds like a bunch of grumpy grandpas in here today. "Those hogs are too loud!" "My delicate hearing!" I can agree though that the "loud pipes save lives" argument is silly. The truth behind the loud Harley m

I was expecting a lot of ambitious projects would be mentioned, but it seems as if a lot of HN wants the same as me. I would Unplug. Take the kids camping, explore a national park for a couple weeks and let nature do it's thing. Take t

I tossed a milk create full of old omni magazines from the late 80s and early 90s about 6 months ago. Did not realize they were at all desirable. I almost donated them to a local kindergarten class but thought that the robot-insect artwork

Every time I read about arctic ocean ice cover and warming of the north pole it reminds me of the work of Ewing and Donn. They theorized that the ice age cycle is driven (in conjunction with malinkovitch cycles) by loss of sea ice which the

Because we have been conditioned to defend the honor and virtue of arbitrary political tribes by attacking viewpoints and ideas that do not align with our own preconceptions. If there was a buzzword contest for 2016 I would nominate "c

Saw this one described as the "ministry of truth" on one of the alt-right websites. I like how they emphasize that it will be deployed/instituted under the direction of the trump administration. Maybe Bannon could take the he

Thank you for this little nugget of wisdom! It puts one of my past employers into a relevant context.

"Nice guy trump" isnt really the campaign he ran, or what got him elected. Class conflict is a constant in politics, but still doesn't explain "prince trump for the little guys"

Ok I understand the rural/urban divide. I recognise the inherent value differences separating farm country and the major metropolitan areas. What I can't wrap my mind around is that the champion of these folksy rural farmers and f

Yup, I'll buy that sauce. Been there, done that, not again. Testify, brothers!

That makes sense. I was indeed doing some hovering and dithering over tents. What I found curious however, is the fact that I have never ordered anything from REI on my phone, nor logged on to any REI website (no cart, no account). All REI

REI knows how to close the deal: I was shopping a while back for a new tent. Wondered if I should wait for a 20% off single item coupon event like they do a couple times a year. Googled "when is the next rei 20% coupon?". I got th

I went through a phase in my late teens where I used an old typewriter to record my screeds on life, politics and technology. It was fun to get that rythm going with the keys clattering and the hammers indenting. It made it feel like you we

What did you do prior to school? Seems there may have been some time between HS and uni. What was going on that led you to pursue a business field? Why did you choose business administration?

by keeringplastik 10y ago
To be fair, getting a degree in business administration is basically asking for a soul crushing corporate desk job.

My java script fatigue led me to disable it on my phone. Seriously. I's been about nine months. I use the exceptions feature to add in common sites where it is required. I have been surprised over the course of this experiment by how l

"A candle against the sun" or something like that. I wonder if the gamma bursts from nuclear testing are discernible from the solar noise? It would reduce the distance to about about 60 light years. If some ET were looking in our

What do they have you doing, and what you would like to be doing? If the difference is insurmountable (or if your career goal is different from the job reality) then you are on the losing end of the deal. As soon as you can identify what is

Could be just a case of run of the mill depression. What else has been going on in your life the past 6 months? First job? Recent move? Girls? What kind of personal projects do you have going?

I went through the same process this past year: my job had gotten to the point that the most challenging part was trying to accept the level of dysfunction that had become so entrenched. I was in my chosen field, getting to work on the exac

Uh-oh. If recent legalization expands, and results in Bill O'Reilly's nightmare nation of "stoned slackers", will America be psychologically prepared to deal with Putin? Or Xi? We are doomed! Also, I don't hear any
