The escrow system was probably the most critical service that SR provided. Unfortunately that seems to require a centralized model.

No matter whether you end up pro, it sounds like you'll appreciate everything that life has to offer and have a good story for your kids. That said .7 seconds is a hell of a lot of time to shave off your 40 yard dash, especially if you

There's no reason that a rival company couldn't fake negative reviews though. I'm sure it's common already.

Correct, a member of the same small POS group as 'smelling', 'feeling', 'sounding', 'tasting', and 'seeming'.

This thread is way off the front page so maybe you won't see this but I thought you might find it interesting. 'look', when not part of any phrasal verb ('look at', 'look for'), is actually a copula in Eng

Most hyphenation in compound adjectives occurs when the compound adjective comes before the noun, that is, in the attributive position. As a broad rule, when a compound adjective appears after the noun it modifies, that is, in the predicat

Installing Ubuntu is incredibly easy, same next-next done process. IIRC, it's also a lot faster than installing Windows. Even setting up dual boot is simple. Granted I have had problems even recently with wireless not working out-of-

Systems can be intuitive and novice-friendly without limiting the capabilities of technical users. Also don't count on basic digital competency anytime soon worldwide. Where I live, young and old alike stare blankly into computer scre

"Rich people financial crimes" involve an aspect of violence too, or at least can have the same impact as violence. When Bernie Madoff screws someone out of their savings, and that person then can't pay their insurance/

I did some of this too. Not everything (no crying), but I had a group who would take turns copying assignments for instance. I particularly remember when writing long papers, I would do things like increase the character spacing, change the

A sport that is uniquely suited for mixed genders is Ultimate Frisbee. As long as men guard men, and women guard women, it works out pretty well. I'd say it works better for mixed play than a sport like tennis, which features a mixed

I've been in Phnom Penh for the last 3 weeks. It may not be as relaxing as Sihanoukville or somewhere else smaller but for me it's been the perfect place to work and focus. I found a nice (enough) apartment for 120$/month th

Not someone who becomes enraged when a coworker violates one of their totally arbitrary particulars. I wouldn't want anyone designing a spaceship to have to function in such an unhealthy work environment.

From the Slate article you posted: "Who says two spaces is wrong?" they wanted to know. Typographers, that's who. The people who study and design the typewritten word decided long ago that we should use one space, not two,

As someone who worked in a school all of last year, I disagree too. I never screamed at any child, and I had fewer problems with discipline than the teachers that did. For me it is better to explain why I am angry or disappointed with a ch

I am defending certain people convicted under child pornography laws, yes. I am also trying to engage in a serious discussion, ideas from which might reduce harm done to children, but you seem to have no interest in that. Either way, you c

Yes I said that without doing any research on the subject ever. And yes one opinion of mine invalidates every other opinion I have, how true. You win, good arguments. Edit: For a more serious reply, there is evidence that countries that ha

Well they certainly aren't on my side, and I don't want to be on their side. They aggregate and analyze data used to conduct drone strikes, spy on the world indiscriminately, and assist brutal agencies like the DEA in destroying

Not really in the conventional way people think of hallucinations. What you see is distorted, but everything you see is actually there. The walls might look like they're dripping or wavy, the branches on a tree appear to reach out at

That's the tricky thing about the Reuters DEA revelation. Some drug offenders probably are cavalier about displaying evidence in the cars because the likelihood of their being stopped is low. Maybe it wouldn't even matter if the

There are many people who make a living off sports but don't do so professionally. As an example, I knew many D1 tennis players who could charge upwards of 70$ an hour teaching private lessons (of which the club would take ~20$). I kn

I prefer to run on thick grass, mountain bike trails, tracks, etc. for this reason. I don't have joint problems yet, but every time I run on pavement I can feel how hard it is on the body. Uphills runs and stair-training are also sign

Speaking only for myself, as a young person who does not vote, it's not a lack of interest in politics or the state of world affairs. I'll vote only once the electoral process is significantly reworked, until then I have better w

Nah, the prevailing wisdom among old-timers on SR is that he's from Europe. There were obvious clues early on as to what country he's from, given that DPR was once a seller on the site.

Jeez, I'm pretty sure I threw a few rocks at buildings in my teenage years, but I don't think that means my upbringing was shitty (it was about as good as possible, IMO). You're demeaning a lot of people's families if throwing a rock at a
