If you measure how much time you spend watching TV or surfing the web it puts it in perspective... I used to run about 40 miles a week a few months ago. Usually ended up being between 5 and 6 hours a week. The long run is usually on the wee

Totally tangential question but is there any resource you know of that provides a layman's "explain like I'm 5" explanation of this Delaware BCL? A privately owned company (in which I bought my shares of when I left) was

My anecdata is that it was a very powerful experience for me. For me it was less about the size of David and more about the details. You can see the veins in his forearms. Depending on the angle of viewing the expression on his face seems t

Do you honestly think anyone is "pro-crime"? Being against 3 strikes is just about believing judges should be using their own discretion when sentencing as far as I can tell and not required to hand down mandatory sentencing.

Wal-Mart can't even leverage their ubiquitous brick and mortar presence to be un-terrible to use for ship-to-store during the two times I tried to use it. Don't think this will end up being an Amazon killer.

It is poorly worded but I think effectively it's true. If I understand correctly a 10000 sq ft lot would be taxed the same regardless if it was a 1 story house or a 6 story condo... So effectively it's a discount compared to the w

That's a pretty big strawman. A better recourse would be to whistle blow in that scenario. Though clearly that carries a great deal of personal risk too. Destroying a company damages all of that companies customers and employees as wel

How does one "smart crop"? The crop method only seems to allow you to crop 1 portion of a 3 x 3 grid... Thanks for your creation!

I saw a crow get hit by a car right in front of me with a thump because it moved too slow from a mid street meal. Instantly probably 6 or so crows started shrieking and came over to the incident. It was quite sad because it seemed they coul

Didn't the UK already have the benefit of a floating currency since they use the pound instead of the euro?

It depends on how expensive. Airlines that lose my luggage, charge crazy fees and have incredibly narrow seats often get dismissed out of hand unless they have significant discounts. I usually just check southwest first because of this.

You do realize video games make twice as much money as hollywood movies right? So clearly there should be money to be made in the industry selling tools. ref: https://www.quora.com/Who-makes-more-money-Hollywood-or-the-...

I can't think of a scenario where you were able to do a legal left turn and it was legal to pass you on the left so they were almost certainly doing something illegal or you were not in the correct lane to turn left...

One time while walking back from a bar in my mid 20s I ran across a street in front of a police cruiser as the light was yellow and they exerted their power by hassling me and telling my friends to watch out for me. This was Fullerton, CA a

We all start out as idealists. I have worked for an adserving company and a free to play gaming company. I have also worked for a company that is a huge defense contractor though my project was the ISS. It's pretty easy to rationalize

"That stuff"? Partying definitely loses it's luster (at least for me) but the opportunity for meetups, learning about new tech, etc. hopefully doesn't. Clearly it's a balancing act but everything in life is. How muc

Hell, the prime video player is far more buggy and error prone than the Netflix one at least on my media PC. So they can't even reverse engineer that well.

I think the Hitler comparison is more as a very persuasive orator and the contents of his speeches (blaming the foreigner/other for all your society's ills) rather than his more notable sins like the holocaust. Here is a holocaust

Yeap. Afaik you are not even allowed to virtualize OS X on an OS X server. If you could I'd assume AWS et al would do so for CI and such.

At the very least the actual artist and venue are not seeing the profits during most of this price gouging. But the resellers are.
