I remember being told this was actually a myth. The manufacturers claimed this to be the case, but the problem was that different systems' drives actually used different sides of the disk, so the disk manufacturers had to verify both

People are never going to "get past fashion". People who have any money at all have been worried about fashion for millennia now. The only people who didn't were people too poor to do anything but worry about keeping themse

What are you talking about? It doesn't take any more time to buy 2 shirts than to buy 1 shirt. Maybe it adds an extra 5 seconds at the cash register, but that's not significant.

>big discount stores (target, Walmart, TJ Maxx, etc) have upped their (discounted) fashion game Huh? This is true I suppose for Walmart and Target, but TJ Maxx just sells overstock stuff that didn't sell elsewhere.

I wonder how many of these "issues in the dryer" are caused by people using the high-heat setting on the dryer. I have clothes that are both cotton and synthetic (like exercise/sports clothes) and I really don't have du

I shopped at Uniqlo in Japan too, and it seems nearly identical to the stuff in the US (DC). The prices are slightly lower, and you can get it tax-free if you're a tourist, so I stocked up on some things while I was there.

>Now though I stick to brands such as COS, yes they do cost x5 or X10 what H&M costs, but the difference in the clothe is evident. Yeah, but do they really last 5-10 times as long? If not, then from a purely economic point-of-view,

Maybe, maybe not. The longer-lasting but expensive stuff might not be available in styles you like, for instance. So, for example, what good is a long-lasting shirt if it looks like something only your grandfather would wear?

Oh yeah, I forgot to add: you can't wash linen! You have to dry clean it (or at least a lot of it). Dry cleaning is horrible for the environment, and uses a lot of nasty chemicals, and it's expensive too.

It's also human nature to become murderously violent about various things, and to grab a club or bone and use it as a weapon to kill someone you don't like or because they have something you want. Humans managed to create "c

Linen is terrible for actual use though. Requiring ironing is ridiculous; not only does that use a lot of energy, it takes a lot of time too. Sure, you could just not iron like the other poster said, but then your clothes look horribly wr

Not only is this offensive, it's just wrong. Lots of women at that age are single now because they were married, and are now divorced for some reason (like a good friend of mine whose husband shamelessly cheated on her and also stole

I tried eHarmony for a little while. I finally gave it up because 1) it wasn't free and 2) most of the women were religious, so I got almost no dates on there. I've gotten most of my dates in the last year from CMB; that one doe

The other thing some will do is just not say anything, and wait for you to use your one daily "extend", to show her you're really interested in her and not just right-swiping everyone.

That's because quality people have all moved on to something else. Tinder is mainly for hookups now: people who are traveling and want something casual, people who are married and want a 3some, people who are cheating, etc. Everyone e

Sorry, I don't buy it. Maybe if you're in your 20s this is true, but for people in their 40s, there's tons of women on the dating sites all looking for husbands, and as a man I've had plenty of success finding women to

These people are purely evil; they don't care what you think of them, and will just laugh at your letter before they toss it in the trash. You'll just be wasting your time.

That's literally how the English language works. It's defined by popular usage. So one person using a word "wrongly" is indeed "wrong", but if most people use a word "wrongly", then it becomes corre

Wrong. The original meaning of a word is irrelevant. The definition of a word in the English language is whatever people currently use it for.
