My original canon digital rebel XT, I think, is 6MP, and its output can be printed poster size with no visible degradation at any normal viewing distance (like six inches or farther). So yeah, I'll take some good glass and literally an

Of course it's their prerogative, we can still talk about how they've limited some good options. I think your analogy is poor, because this is a tool for makers. The engineers aren't the makers. I think a more apt analogy is

Thank you. I gained perspective from this passage.

Only if I really, really don't care about the content, the talent isn't annoying, and it's turned down really low. Basically like a background conversation I'm not invested in. Words tend to steal my focus, including son

The only real rules are those the universe provides. We may not get to choose our place in the cosmos, but on our own planet? You have autonomy here.

What kinds of messes are you even referring to, out of curiosity? The post is about a man who wants to do meaningful work, so I'm missing the leap to "messes."

James Altucher has written a lot about generating ideas. I would look for some of his articles to read. He used to publish them on another domain, so I haven't read this, but it looks like his normal stuff. https://jamesaltu

I do not think a conversation between two work people count, no. Not at a bar, for sure. There's constant communication between work people. A meeting is when I get everyone together to go over big-picture type things. Making plans, ch

The company I own has a meeting less than once a year. We're at about 15 months right now. It's a bar. Not all companies have or need a lot of meetings, but maybe it's more relevant to your line of work. I'm sure there&#

I bought a bar and bartended there. Which is basically just forced practice. Remember Carol Dweck. People aren't just naturally good at things like this, they practice it a lot (maybe inadvertantly). You can make huge strides with focu

Given some context (another top comment has some jokes from the Philogelos: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30838277 ), I believe it actually means student. The jokes often reference their parents or classmates. It mad

1) You seem to have totally focused on the "parent" role, and forgotten the "partner" aspect. This has major implications for the relationship. 2) The practical difference is choice. Biological parents are pretty stuck

I don't know, that's been scaled pretty far, where farms and especially ranches don't take many workers. My guess is teacher.

If you scroll down the Twitter thread, there's another gif that highlights an individual worker. Watching her makes it pretty clear that it's intentional, not just dropped or random.

I don't buy them often enough to notice any trends, sorry. They all seem about the same. Sometimes a corner seems stale or something. I was under the impression they're just delivered on a truck from a third party. I don't th

My favorite are at CircleK. It's not the hot dog necessarily, but the nice ones have a good, fresh toppings center. It has coleslaw, and that's my favorite to put on top.

I get egg salad sandwiches at gas stations pretty often. My friends are appalled, but nothing is wrong with the sandwich. Certain types of jobs I've worked (construction, lawn care), the guys make heavy use of gas station meal options

I used to watch the craigslist free section with a script, and I got that response a lot. I was calling within 1 minute of post time sometimes. Being first pretty much gets you anything you want in that section.
