I'm envious because my parents heavily restricted my computer use thinking it'd rot my brain or I'd get r*ped. They wanted me reading books, to become a lawyer or a doctor. I always had an affinity for technology. My folks me

Isn't the whole point of the challenge to figure out how to do the problem? What you say is literally just copy/pasting others' answers. Is that not looked down on?

Something about your comment instilled a sense of dread and hopelessness within me. I don't know if I can ever be one of those 'built cool things/get published' guys, so I guess that means I'm destined for grunt wor

Is that some hidden layer thing? Because I've had fi for a little over three years and never once messed with google wallet.

Heck, I can't even get some of my techy friends to drop hangouts even though google's retiring it. One of them even said "I'm going towait to see what google's next product is", you mean allo? Duo? What's

Auratones are not bad speakers though. They're single driver and non-ported. That has implications, namely better low end response, and uniformity in the waveform: ie. no notching from cutoffs; sound comes from one place instead of two

Your comment reminded me of the film Arrival ; <spoilers> Where at the end once the mc has the new ability, she can see her painful future, and yet she accepts it because, well, what can you do about predestination? Had me thinking,

You don't think language has an impact on perception? You think the Nazi effort to dehumanize jews with rhetoric didn't work? What a simple world you must live in.

While a clever interpretation, that's not what copypasta means. It's literally a permutation of the phrase 'copy and paste'; popularized on 4chan, as a term for posts that would be repeatedly copy/pasted.

Your experience mirrors mine so closely it brings tears to my eyes. Even the year we graduated. It's so hard to to feel bitter about it all and slide into self loathing. I'm trying to break into software and trying to take classes

Yep, after working in food and other service for five years after a hard-fought graduation, I'm trying to fight my way into software. Thankfully I'm supported by family or this wouldn't be possible. Service industry is thankl

Holy shit. I had an old dad, 52 when I was born. most of those listed conditions affect me or have affected me greatly in the past... My younger sibling is missing a chromosome, stuck as a permanent infant (mentally). This is both enlighten

Pretty sure all those "benefits" come from big tobacco-backed research. If nicotine is a stimulant, it's a crappy one.

I was in the Prague Airport, and once you got past security, everyone was smoking!! It was horrible!! I couldn't escape it, every restaurant, bar, and rest area had people smoking. I was feeling sick so it was extra nightmarish.

Agreed. A little anxiety is good and helps me stay vigilant but a little more than that and suddenly I'm overthinking things.

KDE tailors to windows users, it has familiar conventions. GNOME is a linux DE for linux users. The problems you had are not really 'problems' for anyone moderately versed with linux.

You can set profile per tab with gnome shell. But I do recall serious difficulty getting konsole to look like anything but an eyesore.

I've been using GNOME 3 for almost two years now and I haven't experienced any of those issues. GNOMEs actually been really easy to use. Never had difficulty with theming or ricing my setup. Just wanted to provide some counter ane
