My personal experience directly contradicts this. We were in the waiting area before seeing the principal about an earlier push+shove in class. He kept going on and on about how after school was over, he was gonna fuck me up, etc, etc. I &q

So they wash, dry, and fold your clothes for you? I've only seen/heard of places where you throw in coins and return for your things later.

This is a dumb workaround, but you can also add a monthly auto-renewing subscription that's just for testing. It auto-renews every 3 or 5 minutes (I forget which), and expires after 15 minutes.

I've never seen a Java-based app on the Mac that didn't look slightly wrong.

"broken permission systems" is just Android. iOS could offer more fine-grained options, but it's solid.

My problem with House of Cards is that it's devoid of mystery. I'm only interested when the plot is moving fast, which is probably 4 episodes a season. There's no introspection, none of the characters have personal motives (e

Thank you, you've been able to accurately describe my problem with all the true Netflix originals ("true" in that they haven't been bought from other countries or licensed). Except for OITNB, I kinda love that show and i

Fellow minority and I agree with a toughen up stance as well, as I think we do have to toughen up to actually get ahead. But that isn't a reason to deny people help, deny people the chance to say "hey, look I'm feeling really

It's kind of unnerving how many responses in this thread boil down to "well, it doesn't work for me, I never needed emotional assistance, so it's not useful for anyone."

I don't know how we'd find a nice, automated solution to removing people's wordy signatures.

This ignores the concept of a blocking issue. I (in North America) had to interact with a team member in Australia for a short project, and if either of us needed the other for something, we effectively had to find other work to do while wa

"Sweeter" is also a subjective term. They might have the same amount of sugar, but Pepsi definitely tastes sweeter than Coke when just opened. To me, for lack of a better word, Coke has "harsher" bubbles that somehow dro

The parent said "depending on which you subscribe to." There are millions of people who believe the phrase you quoted. So it is a counter argument, regardless of its objective true-ness.

As an aside, I got a free SiriusXM trial with my new car, and the sound quality is terrible compared to FM. I was honestly reminded of the MP3s I got from Kazaa and burned to a CD in 2003, you can hear the aggressive compression.

Yes, it can be worse, since ASN.1 is relatively "popular" and there's a decent pool of knowledge.

For me, it's probably a holdover from my teenage years as a socially awkward and horny boy. I'm in my 30s now, but there's weird mental habits and impulses that are still sticking around. I'm happily married, I don'

The "easy" bugs get picked up super fast, so it seems you need to keep a close eye on the issue tracker.

I used spend close to 2 hours a day hunting for Apple news back when I was in school, from the mid-00s to 2012ish, and I hit most of the sites you're talking about. I still listen to the Talk Show and ATP, and I follow Jason Snell o

Hey, one less reason for me to use FB Messenger. In complete honesty, I prefer FB Messenger because it seems a lot more expressive and it's way easier to access your photos. FB is really stomping on iMessage in the chat realm, and I&#x

Holy moly, Apple is very aware of the competing chat apps. iMessage looks amazing and they packed a lot of features in there, but I wonder how they're going to make it all easily discoverable.

I'm in Canada, I've wandered into a few convenience stores in the last year that still tack on 25 or 50 cents if you use debit. No extra charge if you use Visa/MC or cash, though.
