I worked for a D1 track and field team while I was in college and I found the Pent/Hep/Decathlon some of the most fascinating sports with how coaches approached which athletes to submit. Some coaches (like the one at my college) c

The Traitorous Eight (the highest profile case of what the OP was describing) is one of my favorite Silicon Valley stories. If you haven't read about it, you really should! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traitorous_

And that's fair. I should've done a better job differentiating between the official word and the word of random Redditors that have a vested interest in making themselves look better. I have to assume the actual implementation wil

I personally think that this article buried the lede as far as controversial Reddit actions go. Users now can be (and have been) banned for upvoting posts in quarantined subreddits (both on the right - T_D - and the left - Chapo Trap House

It's funny you say that it's a negative because I think that's a positive. It's one of my favorite things to do to load up my team's games (Tampa Bay Rays fan here!) on MLB.tv and work on my side project while I wat

And sports too! Josh Hader from the Brewers and Kyler Murray from the Cardinals are the first ones to mind. It'd be interesting to see how much vetting goes into this before the draft and how much of a hard no certain things are

I guess my cynical question is: do these legislators not know what they're talking about or do they know who's paying for their reelection and governing accordingly? I would hope and think that they have the self awareness to know

I was mostly speaking from my own experience earlier in my life. I was raised on pretty much exclusively conservative media for the first 18 years of my life and I would've sworn up and down that every or at the very least the majority

Sure, that's definitely true but I'm just saying that this same thing happens going the other way too. There was actually just an story about it the other day. https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/27/us/

All these politics and political games are such a shame. The Tehran that the author describes seems like a really vibrant city that I'd really like to visit and experience. But I never will for fear or something like this happening, be

For what it's worth I'm flying back home to the US from the UAE and at the airport as I was waiting to check my bag I saw many (10+) groups of Chinese tourists checking entire boxes of 3M N95 masks. My guess is that they're r

I'd also like to know this. Been using Firefox mobile but chrome on PC and syncing custom search operators could be what gets me to switch back to FF on PC

From what I understand, Amazon comingles their own inventory with third party sellers so although the cards they buy might be legit, you're not necessarily guaranteed to get what they bought vs what CheapMemoryAmerica1999 contributed e

Although I'm sure there are some teens that think that, don't you think "my friends are doing it", "it's cool" and "it's fun to blow sick clouds when the teacher isn't looking" a lot mo

Crashes mobile Firefox too. Very ironic given the small portion of the article I read before it crashed.

The scariest thing in this article to me was buried at the end describing how many of these drugs can be found in the water supply (albeit in mostly trace amounts). Whether you want them or not, it seems like everyone is going to get these

That's an interesting question that I'd also love to know the answer to. I'm also curious whether there's a difference between music and podcasts/audiobooks since the latter seem to require a lot more focus than the

Seconding this. I probably should've kept Rule 43 in mind when looking at this site but let's just say that the "Pokemon" topic on the site is less than family friendly.

Is there anywhere in the world where all drugs are legalized? I know Portugal (and maybe others) have decriminalized drugs and results are pretty good but going from decriminalization to legalization feels like a big step.

One thing I don't see mentioned very much is that introversion/extroversion is a very different axis from shyness/outgoingness. I feel like these two axes get conflated really often (like in this article) but they really are

Thanks for the heads up! I thought I had fixed that problem but I guess it regressed somewhere along the way but it should be fixed now (minus some Cloudfront cache updating). Thanks!!

I did something a similar except instead of music I'm a huge theme park fan and wanted a portion of my personal site to be dedicated to my trips (instead of hosting the pictures on Facebook or the like) so I decided to separate out the

As a massive theme park fan, this has been especially pronounced lately (if you want an example about how bad it's gotten, check out Fast and the Furious Supercharged at Universal Studios Florida) but there have been rides since the 90

I'm curious at what point it makes sense for them to just pay out the $3430 difference to make this story have a happy ending. I'm a photographer that would love to make a little extra cash or to rent a lens from someone else thro

Why doesn't it? (Not a leading question, I just don't understand why it doesn't) Isn't the way uBlock and the like work is that they see network requests from a blacklist and not load those resources? Isn't network

The second part of the headline of the piece ("and that's a big problem for social media companies") stood out to me as super-hyperbolic. From my perspective it seems to me that me and my peer's relationship with social

This is probably a stupid question but is it possible for this or for any drug to be absorbed and take effect via the eye? Or does it have to get into the circulatory/digestive system to take effect?

Student loans always did feel kind of predatory to me. We're asking 17 or 18 year olds whose brains haven't fully developed the ability to prioritize long term consequences to take on 10s or 100s of thousands of dollars in debt wh
