I didn't sign up for my job's dumb program because I don't trust the insurance company AT ALL and refuse to give them any information beyond the bare minimum. a $50 gift card is absolutely not worth the risk of them using whatever information I provided to deny a claim in the future.

I drink like 2L of water at work every day (I used to drink a lot of soda coffee but it was ruining my teeth so I switched to a big water bottle with caffeinated drink mix) and another 2L at home, but I also drink a lot of vodka and sometimes I'm dehydrated even with all that water.

Krugman had this to say about Politifact: "... the people at Politifact are terrified of being considered partisan if they acknowledge the clear fact that there’s a lot more lying on one side of the political divide than on the other.

I was a communications major in college (10 years ago!) and one of our assignments was to do something involving deception online and write a 2-page paper on it. most of the class just hopped on AIM/AOL chat and did the fake ASL routine because everyone knew that was the easiest way to get random people to talk to you…

this video is much better because it includes all the radio chatter and is sped up to something resembling real time (the actual fight happened in super slow motion because of the "time dilation" mechanic they added to prevent the whole server from crashing when things like this happen)

articles about EVE from non-EVE players are always hilarious because the author never really knows what just happened, and neither do the commenters because the youtubes usually don't include fleet comms.

iirc part of the delay was because the entire Greek justice system was on strike.

it's not WIC users' fault that the program sucks. it seems to have been designed to be as inconvenient as possible - you can only get specific brands in specific sizes, and if the store is sold out or doesn't have whatever nonstandard bread loaf size you need, you're shit out of luck.
