I've taken defensive driving to get a ticket removed from my record. You notify the state you are going to do so, then you have a certain time window (a few months) to take it. You can even take it online, which is still frustrating be

The United States has the same thing. Get too many traffic infractions in a certain time window (a year or two, might depend on the state) and you get your license revoked.

While I don't use Reddit, I have always wondered what would happen if people were required to anonymously give a reason why they downvoted. I've been rather frustrated by this in the past on imgur. I'd love to know why someon

Well I'm not a huge fan of that either, I'm talking very specifically about the sections with HAL. I'd consider all the LSD trip stuff to be the 3rd act. I appreciate it from a movie making perspective, the effects are very g

Ha! I actually remember reading that comment. I really hated 2001, except for the 2nd act with HAL. All the rest of it just seemed so pretentious and devoid of story. I remember when they were landing on the moon for instance, that scene wa

The second is really the original essence of trolling. Evoking a reaction from people by pretending to be something you're not. Ken M is a classic example of this. I don't mind it that much because I think it is a good reminder to

Well, I've gained about 25 pounds, a lot of which is muscle, but some of it was fat as well. I'm probably about 15-18% bodyfat now. Since summer is approaching I'm thinking I want to cut. I've never really tried to cut b

I've been doing Stronglifts for a bit, fell off for a few months but got back on it regularly the past 6 months or so. My biggest problem has always been my diet. I'm pretty used to eating whatever I want as I've always been

Hmm, that seems like an odd way to represent how much recess time kids have. I'm not familiar with elementary schools, but I'd guess that class periods are somewhere between 30 minutes and an hour. The average kid is getting less

I think a pretty obvious starting point is the supposed decline of recess in schools. I couldn't find any numbers on how many schools had recess as a normal part of their day or rates. However it does seem as though in many schools, ce

Is there some kind of objective criteria for this? I've made a legitimate effort to comment in a variety of threads. I suppose you don't think that is enough.

I'm curious, does Amazon continue to recommend items you either just bought or are similar to something you recently bought? I get this all the time and it is annoying. It seems like the recommended stuff is related to my searches and

I do think that there are people who actively try to divide the country on racial lines because it personally benefits them. Most notably, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. David Duke gets media attention every time there is a national electio

Well I think it speaks to the current lack of discrimination. It isn't like Asians weren't actively discriminated against in the past in the US. Yet today, they are doing better than whites.

This kind of thing seems insane to me. If you want to build a cohesive team, you figure out what is common to everyone and rally around that. Bringing in divisive topics unrelated to work seems like you're playing with fire.

That's a pretty pessimistic look at things. It sounds like something that could be pretty easily resolved with communication. Setting expectations for one another that have been clearly communicated. I know plenty of happy married coup

When I see these things I'm always skeptical. I doubt LeBron did that himself, but there are TONS of hoax "hate crimes". Especially the ones that seem to be picked up by the news seem to end up being hoaxes. We saw it recentl

Exactly, the exclusive content rights will be a killer. I hope this is where the market eventually moves. In the near term content creation networks (CBS, NBC, Disney, etc) will probably try to set up their own streaming services to stream

Kind of tangential to this article, but I can't believe that people are willing to own a car that is impossible for them to control. While I don't think it is necessary for self driving cars to lack the option for human control, t

They did suggest that, but I didn't see anything measurable in terms of "usefulness". Not to mention that's a context dependent criteria. So I don't really know how you would measure it to begin with. That's wh

I think some of it might be the convenience of being able to speak to one another without the children knowing what is being said as well. My father's parents knew German and he wasn't taught, but recalled many times where his par

Well, since as far as I know there's no real empirical evidence for this. I'll give my own anecdote as a man. I wasn't encouraged at all, by anyone I knew, to get a career in programming. My parents tried to block certain web
