When you're at the top there's really only one direction left to go.

Ever receive a flash flood warning, severe weather alert (lightning, tornado), or amber alert on your phone? It'd be the same notification. I'm sure there's others too, those are just the ones I've received before.

Maybe, but layman programmers also tend to vastly underestimate the work needed to finish projects, because "it's easy, you just need to..." I would assume the last 10% is going to be just as hard as the first 90%, just like

I mean driving is easily the most dangerous thing people do on a daily basis. It's the leading cause of death for Americans under 55. You're not really making the point you think you are.

As a potential US customer, I was also a bit put off by this. Do you support all US zip codes? What kind of recipes would I be able to order if I sign up, assuming the availability is partly based on my delivery address? The free trial requ

This seems to hold true for many social media sites: facebook, reddit, twitter. It takes effort on behalf of the user to make their experience on the site "better". And by better I mean, less divisive, and less mindless scrolling

I don't think they're necessarily being dishonest, just misleading probably unintentionally. Speaking of paranoia, I think their poor communication led to plenty of paranoia two years ago, and it seems like there's plenty of

This situation seems a lot like two years ago with the CDC saying "there are no confirmed cases in the US", while it looking really likely that the virus has already established itself here and we simply haven't tested for it

I mean, I get that this needs to be studied in order to understand Earth's climate better, but I feel like the title would be more accurate and responsibly written if they said "partially mitigates".

I mean even if what you're suggesting is true, there could be dozens of reasons for that. There's still plenty of places in the US where you'll be discriminated against for being openly gay in public, leaving the relative ano

One common refrain used to discriminate against gay people has been that they are "sexual deviants". Casually throwing out an anecdotal guess that gay people are more college educated because of all the sex they're having is

Part of the reason for restrictions is because the popularity of the area overwhelms the natural area and causes too much human impact, thus restrictions get put in place so the area can be protected. I for one would love to see more permit

Can you expand on that? Who is doing the exploiting and how are they doing it?

The one that really annoys me is when they do this for airline tickets. Airlines release tickets for a flight in batches of 10, which is why you never see a "only x seats left" message where x is greater than 10. Once all 10 are s

It'd be nice if they had defined what it means to separate personal and work lives. Like, don't check email after work hours? Or, don't be personal friends with coworkers? Or don't discuss personal plans during work smal

What an odd comment. You don't need to move out of the US in order to reduce how much you drive, or live somewhere your kids can walk to school (source: me). Expecting people to make such a drastic change for fairly minor lifestyle cha

That article is from a previous donation years ago. Naomi herself says her recent donation wasn't used[1]. Is NPR obligated to mention all failed attempts to acquire new collars? It seems unlikely they excluded this information because

Fact check doesn't seem to the right phrase here. Naomi donated collars years ago. Each collar lasts "a few months". Martha has a "handful left". Martha hasn't been able to find additional collars. What facts d

It's a bit of a weird title because it implies the article is going to be a rebuttal against how great the cycling is, but at the same time the phrase "it's not that fantastic" implies the cycling is still a little fanta

For this reason I feel like Phil Spector's early-mid 60's Wall of Sound production holds up a lot better than the late 60's/70's. By the time you get to George Harrisons All Things Must Pass there's just way to

I would argue the bias of the editorial board is fair game when it comes to discussing the word choices and phrasing made in the article.

It's the wsj, they have a right wing partisan lean, which means any discussion of renewable energy or California has to lean negative. Edit: Surprising amount of downvotes here, didn't realize this was so controversial, the Wikipe

When it comes down to it, most software bugs don't matter. Reimburse the customer, wait a few days for a dev to fix something, whatever, it'll get resolved and everyone will be whole again. Contrast this with construction, if ther
