How does a diamond represent "fuck you money" if everyone has them?

How easy/hard is it to extract diamonds from these old settings and get a new setting for it? Where would one even go to get a diamond placed in a new setting?

Is it really considered rational in 2018 to buy a car that's already 18 to 28 years old?

Would this be a good calculator to get for actual engineering work, or is it too limited by its testing restrictions? If not, what is a good engineering calculator these days?

They might have completely shut you out with the silent treatment because they think you might sue. So maybe you should.

Lexus is noted in the article as being one of the problematic cars, but mine beeps fairly insistently if you get out of the car with the keys with the ignition still on. I get that people are mentally on autopilot sometimes--I certainly am

This is kind of my thinking too. I would think that you could just boil down the requirements for what the system needs to do and just build that rather than bothering to wade through the COBOL and translating it. I would also think the res

Pedantic: there's a good chance you have infinitely more hair than Vin Diesel, not just twice as much.

Is blocking it more because you don't want to think about him looking at it, or because you actually think he will be damaged by looking at it? I'm sure I found porn at age 12 (now 30). Did you not?

Typically using a secret question also requires you to have access to the email account you signed up with, so it's almost 2FA at that point.

I believe you’re thinking of Rasmussen, not Quinnipiac. Q is respected, Rasmussen is known to be GOP-leaning: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/pollster-ratings/ Otherwise I agree, we are living a major part of hist

I mean there were constant examples throughout 2016, but here was a fun one to rewatch: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2016/05/17/cenk_ugyu... In the wake of Wikileaks revealing that what CNN ca

This became painfully clear to me particularly during the 2016 primaries. I watched as news organizations I formerly respected--CNN, NYT, NPR, WaPo--shamelessly twisted facts and spun deliberatly misleading narratives, even on their front p

Can someone elucidate why one might not want to just update from RHEL 6--especially on what I gather is a personal machine in the OP--rather than go through this?

The US may still well be the protector of the free world, but we've otherwise abdicated our global leadership role. And, with Trump's coyness on US commitment to Article 5 of NATO, whether or not we'll continue to even be the

This tactic seems like a double-edged sword. I would think for many people, this behavior would annoy and dissuade them from continuing to use Windows Mail.

It's hard to take seriously when it looks like an early 2000s Geocities page. I half expect that "Making Murder for hire easy" to be a scrolling marquee. But then again I don't know what I'd expect it to look like.

I've also used Noodler's Bulletproof Black for the past 8 years, in a Lamy Safari and a variety of other pens. Never had any problems with it. Ditto on Bay State Blue though. Beautiful ink, but notorious for ruining pens in variou

My organization uses the Intel Fortran compiler. I did a few rough benchmarks at one point and found it produced code nearly 3x faster than the same code in gfortran.

Having never heard of this before, I 100% thought you were just blending brands and words together--Amazon/Fit/Bit--and throwing out an absurd tech spec--45 days of battery--but I just looked it up and it's real. Wow. Edit: E
