Thanks, but no way to stop a timer except removing the extension, by design? O-kay. That may have been the shortest-lived extension I've added and removed.

This is good advice for meeting people, but acquaintances don't automatically become friends. For that, you need to spend time with them in diverse contexts. The more, the better. Someone you only see at work is a coworker. Someone you

Friendships are formed through shared experiences. College dorms by definition have college-aged people, at the same early stage of life, enrolled at the same college, living in the same closed-world social environment. A lot of them will t

But skip their Manhattan showroom if you'd like to maintain any respect for the brand. The sales staff was obnoxious enough to make me walk out, checkbook in hand, over to the Bösendorfer store.

No, it's a wonderfully great time to invest, because given the strong national economy the market is due to keep climbing and recoup the setback from the latest crash, so staying on the sidelines is losing out. Notice how that's n

Pure mathematics is like teenage sperm donation. Even if it does end up being useful to someone eventually, that's really not why they did it.

That there are right and wrong editors for Python is exactly the point. A 9-year-old could understand BASIC 30 years ago without having to worry about choosing the "right" editor to handle different types of blank space.

The Dunning-Kruger effect is grossly overestimating one's own skill. I think that's the opposite of what you meant.

C64 Bass Guitar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kDhpFaf4EY I first thought this was just someone slapping on an empty C64 case for a guitar body. It's... a bit more than that.

I've been trying to use Swarm because I have friends who do, but the interface is so atrociously bad, they should fire that designer and sue for damages. Months later I still have no fucking idea which icon does what, I just tap random

I started out this way, and eventually got into the sport of powerlifting, which is competition in the three main strength training movements (squat, bench press, deadlift). I train 4x/week, 1.5-2 hours each. Being a weight class athle

I've done both for years, and I feel the opposite. Strength training is very quantifiable; hypertrophy hardly is. A bicep measurement changes very slowly over time, compared to 5 lbs. on your squat. I very much doubt that you can act

Huh? I don't disagree with your point, but of all the logic-defying chain gyms I've trained in, and I've trained in more than a few, I've never seen Power Cleans forbidden anywhere, ever.

Also note that putting that kind of money anywhere creates so much market impact in practice that the gains diminish considerably. E.g. SPY, the most active S&P500 index (also the single most heavily-traded U.S. stock), had a total doll
