Either you're exaggerating or she's not being completely honest with you. No human is capable of generating unique 20+ char passwords for every service and remembering it. I suppose it's possible you're married to the r

I use my DNS blocker pi-hole to help with this. Whenever I find myself getting hooked into a website, it just gets blacklisted network-wide. One example I've done this with is Reddit. The majority of the Reddit community is really off-

This is really great point I hadn't considered. They're applying their rules selectively and inconsistently.

In my mind maybe this is something like an HOA. Sure, your friends might love your house parties, but your neighbors have to deal with the consequences

Yep! Not just fiction but fantasy. It's my favorite genre, and the more fantastical the better. I'm currently on book 9 of 12 in the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. Also enjoying everything by Brandon Sanderson who I believ

I think changing the calendar is much, much more complicated than making the work week 4 days long. There's countless systems that depend on the current calendar. It would be a herculean undertaking

I'm probably in the minority here because I actually appreciate follow-up emails. Sometimes I get a message and feel lukewarm about it, ignoring it entirely, but by the follow-up have definitely made up my mind. Other times, I intend t

It sounds like it could be an attention issue. Have you been evaluated for ADHD?

Context makes every difference here. I could very easily imagine some lower level employee doing this to a CEO and getting a laugh out of it. Context and relationship. EDIT: not that im saying Steve was in the right, who knows what their re

Out of curiosity... Do you use LinkedIn a lot? I've noticed this cadence of speaking. It's like, a LinkedIn-ese. Every sentence is punctuated by a paragraph. Is that intentional or something subconsciously picked up?

You find it insane that the general public isn't concerned with (and/or doesn't understand) highly technical implementation details?

IIRC a key thing that makes it special is that it's the first time an asteroid has ever been mined

Nobody is arguing that. The debate is around whether manufactured public praise is tasteless

This is interesting because I'm 25 and sometimes worry that I'm going to miss out on the opportunity to start a solid family. It feels so difficult to find anyone my age who wants more than just a fling, and women in their 30s don

I've never really understood what this means. Did people in their 20s have their life pretty well together in the past? or does it mean when you're in your 30s is the best time to start partying and throwing caution to the wind? I

When I was a younger going through a very painful time there was a brief period of suicidal ideation and the suicide hotline would have been a very useful resource for me. I didn't know about it at the time, so I just called 911, and t

New York city probably. That place has been huge and expensive for like 100 years now. The new untapped places to look at might be Austin TX and Boise ID

Specifically for the pandemic, I think there are many things. Post on a neighborhood community board (e.g. on reddit, nextdoor, etc) offering food (sanitized). Get toys for underprivileged children. Or, write letters to strangers in elderly

Agreed with sillysaurusx. Hang in there buddy. These times are particularly difficult for everyone (and of course some more than others!), and just know that the pain you're feeling does not have to be your pain. I think of it as th

Kindness takes courage. There seem to be a lot of people who live at a level of abstraction where they perceive every interaction as being about dominance and submission. In my humble opinion it is a very limited mindset. I consider myself

Is there anybody that develops on the frontend professionally fulltime and makes these kinds of complaints? It seems like these are always drawn up by backend developers who lob fistfuls of aggression-poop over the fence for reasons beyond

The tax is that a businesses have to raise their prices in order to afford Google's ads, which are only able to be priced so high due to illegal business practices. That means you, the consumer, are paying synthetically higher prices f

In the first example, theres an infinite line of lights. In the last example, it's the same infinite line divided by a million, which is still an infinite line. They'll look identical when the photons reach your eyes.
