Excited to see this! I have such fond memories of watching Reading Rainbow. I would love to see a similar kickstarter for other shows I also enjoyed - The Magic School Bus first in my mind. I just rediscovered all the shows on Netflix and I

I think there's still a market for this device for people with essential tremor explicitly as opposed to Parkinson's, in that is the opposite and worsens with movement. I have an ever so slight tremor that's worsened by the d

My name is easy beyond belief but people get it wrong ALL THE TIME. You'd think "Jane" is pretty safe, but especially at Starbucks it gets rewritten into a lot of other names like "Shane" or "Jayne" or &qu

iHeartRadio is owned by Clear Channel and is advertised on their radio stations and billboards. My mother used to listen to a Clear Channel radio station and whenever I would listen with her, every other group of ads mentioned iHeartRadio b

Actually, it sounds like the FCC moves fast once they know about it. MetroPCS finally had enough of the interference on April 29, 2013 and informs the FCC. They determined the likely location and started monitoring the route starting May 7.

Google Shopping Express will also use your own Costco membership to make purchases (and I believe they do similar for other store discounts/memberships). I just got a delivery of Frozen on bluray at the Costco sale price of $15.99 and

Rape kits don't necessarily show consent or lack thereof, which is crucial but usually ends up boiling down to being a he-said-she-said problem. You could know who the rapist is with a rape kit that also points to the same person and s

Amused and happy to see this on the front page of HN. Adventure Time is one of my favorite shows of all time. My husband and I had an Adventure Time themed wedding a month ago and we turned a whole slew of people into fans that way - our ca

I would imagine peri bottles (or close enough, any kind of squeeze bottle) would do something similar in a pinch. I've only heard girlfriends with kids rave about them since it's usually only used after pregnancy, but (to be a bit

I take my shoes off right after I walk in the door of my apartment. It's not for cleanliness or anything as much as it is just I like fuzzy squishy slippers compared to whatever shoes I may have been wearing that day that need to be ai

I actually have that in my apartment in SF. It may be because it's a three bedroom place with only one bath though. It's nice because someone can use the toilet while the shower is in use, but then you have to walk to the kitchen

You wrote the comment I was about to write, but I would also add: plenty of groups have come up with modifiers or completely new names to describe their marriages as they differ from the civil meaning of "marriage", so I'm no

I don't actually see where anyone says they should be limited until I read your comments assuming that. The frustrating bit is that you're basically on the same page as your downvoters if your ultimate message is "everyone sh

I don't think I have a problem getting interviews, but random little biases similar to that is why I eventually decided to change my last name to my husband-as-of-Saturday's last name. I also happen to like that last name, but..

You're right. It also doesn't help that people keep putting out stories like the one above that make ACA sound terrible even though I'll bet that the woman in the example ends up paying less out of pocket over the course of a

Ditto. I had private repos on github, even, but moved to bitbucket because their pricing model made more sense to me. My bitbucket account looks equally empty to anyone that isn't logged in as me. That's excluding the dummy github

I don't want to make assumptions about gender on HN, but if you grew up female it was kind of hard to avoid. You can just search for "tampon virgin" and come up with a ton of sites and people that try to reassure girls that u
