Our local paper just noted that the city police are going to be cracking down on this. It’s apparently illegal here.

That’s what fidget objects are supposed to be for. But the “fidget spinner” isn’t a fidget object in that sense. A fidget object is supposed to be something that you can use to keep your hands busy, WITHOUT paying attention to it, so that you can pay attention to what you’re supposed to be doing.

Sure, but my disqus login is so unimportant that it really shouldn’t even exist. It doesn’t need two factor authentication. There is some small benefit to the sites for having consistent user names but it doesn’t really benefit me to have to remember a password for it.

When you read the book there’s a two day process of getting started to collect all of your projects/actions into your initial list. As a bonus, your desk gets cleaned off, too.

I’m more concerned about:

Which is no one. Playing with a fidget spinner isn’t fidgeting.

I don’t know where you live but Pampas grass is invasive and choking out cattail swamps here.

pedantic note: you mean “hawking”, “hocking” is when you pawn something.

No. Pharmaceutical companies and doctors need to deal with the world as it is. Whatever the average woman should weigh, doses need to be normalized based on what they actually do weigh.

I suspect, though I’m not sure, that if the plane has not left the gate then it is still “boarding” and therefore he wasn’t removed from a “flight”. Definitions get weird.

Every salt shaker/grinder I’ve ever had has corroded and fallen apart within a year or two, so I just buy the cheapest ones I can find now.

I find it odd that you’re more comfortable putting your camera down and walking away from it than asking a specific person to take your picture. Generally, since most people aren’t thieves, the person you ask is going to not be a thief and will take your picture and give your camera back. However, since there ARE…

A bit of perspective is needed here. 20 years ago the expected date at which the surplus would be gone was 2019, now it’s 2034. There is no way that congress is going to let the Social Security fund go broke. Yes, some of the suggested fixes are not good but there are simple fixes that extend solvency past the Baby…

I think the concept of “Barrier to Exit” is more useful than “Sunk Cost” here. It isn’t the past cost, time and effort that is the problem. It is that you’d have to put a lot of time and effort into leaving.

Because the ads are FOR Youtube ON Youtube. You can’t make money paying yourself.

I’m going to be “that guy” today. The article implies, the reader infers.

You’re going to want a manual can opener for those canned foods.

How do you know that the prints get deleted?

I’ve always found this advice kind of funny because it seems that most people can’t keep a beat. Just watch people trying to clap along with a song sometime. When the music isn’t there it’s even worse, I’d guess that most people would be singing “stayin alive” at about 80 bpm in their heads, and they’ll slow the song…

The first day of spring is the day when the amount of sunlight and the amount of darkness are equal (the equinox). That isn’t always on the 21st. In a leap year it is the 20th, in the year after a leap year it might be the 20th or 21st. Summer and fall are usually the 21st, winter moves to the 22nd as leap year gets…
