Same here. I actually still had an unopened can and a stack of labels I had peeled off bottles when I moved out of my parents' house and ended up chucking them all in the trash. I kind of wish I still had the can to just stick on a s

I actually liked it back in the day, but it basically reminded me of what it would taste like if you mixed every soda in a soda fountain.

if .5 is completely random, what does it mean that I got it down to 0.4781666666666667? I may have gotten it lower than that, but got tired of taking screenshots. Eventually I ended up back around .53

I bought a Garmin Vivosmart a few months back now, and that's basically what it provides. It vibrates when I get calls, texts and other notifications on my phone, and tracks my steps for the day. It's also pretty thin/light

You are right that this is generally true for my cats, unfortunately, one of our cats will periodically go outside the box for other reasons. For two cats, we have three litter boxes that are cleaned daily, new litter is added every couple

I know personal experience doesn't exactly count as rigorous scientific study, but I do have one light in my house that I literally never turn off in my kitchen. No automatic switch or anything, it burns 24/7/365. It burns o

Just this summer, I had a request with a very specific deadline from a client. I was about to go on vacation, and the deadline was for about a week after I was going to be back. I communicated to the client when I would take care of her r

OK, in that case, what if I took my camera equipment to a park, got it all setup, and hid in the bushes, hoping someone would use my equipment, that I setup, to take a picture. You, seeing the camera equipment, become curious, and use the c

They're shipped with a USB port because they just have a standard computer motherboard. Everything in the ATM that makes it different from the computer you're sitting at right now is just a peripheral.

I'm vaguely surprised they bothered to cut a hole to do this. When I was working on ATMs, none of my clients ever bothered to have they ATMs uniquely keyed. I had a keyring of about 30 keys that could open pretty much any ATM I came

These examples really won't give a good idea as to whether or not you're micromanaging. micromanaging would be you insisting on being included on parts of the design and implementation process that don't really require your input. Are you s

The DNS control panel was really my big reason for sticking with GoDaddy for a long time. I gave namecheap's DNS control panel a shot. It's acceptable, but nowhere near as nice to use as GoDaddy's Someone was suggesting 1and1 to me and I c

They are cut from regular carrots, but as the story indicates, the farms mostly responsible for baby carrots changed their growing techniques to make carrots skinny and as long as possible. Perhaps the change in growing technique has also

Another difference that I haven't seen anyone talk about yet is the fact that while in both games, as you progress, you get different types of ammo, in CTC, you can switch between the different types of ammo at will, while in angry birds, y

A lot of schools charge admission to watch the sporting event, so even though the kids don't earn any money (and many times have to pay to play) the school makes a fair amount of money from the sports. The better the coach, the better the

At least with the people I work with, the term "flash" is used to refer to the Adobe product. When we're talking about flash memory we use a variety of other terms, but not simply "flash."
