Yes I'm sure. In a double-blind randomized controlled trial everyone would have a pack and neither the researcher nor the participant would know who had parachutes and who had a backpack full of dirty clothes (placebo). Everyone would jump and you tally who lives and who splats.

This is a nice little checklist to use when looking at articles.

Damn yo, good eye!

"Um, does this look reckless to you?"

Something I've started doing is taking advantage of yahoo's disposable addresses to sign up for sites. By having a different email and password for each site, I feel like I'm a little more obfuscated.

I dunno. Edward Snowden backed up a computer once. I don't remember the specifics, but I remember it caused him a few problems.

How about "Learn to use tabs"?

Good point, you're probably not going to see any benefit there. This was gears towards the medical reasons tho I think it showed some benefit in motion sickness as well. I'll have to see if I can find the article.

Handy tip from the medical field: Get some alcohol wipes. If you start feeling nauseous put one under your nose, it's been shown to help.

Yeah I'm not buying that at all. Every work place has jerks, bullies, lazies, passive aggressives and what not. If someone is discriminating against you at work or creating a hostile workplace then there is at least some legal protection.

Yeah I was impressed that someone who's willing to pay that much for arena swill wold be able to figure this out—even if it did take them five years.

It would be interesting to see how that huge picture thing works out. I can see that as an easy and almost undetectable way to discriminate against people by look.

My go-to is to answer stern professional-like "[your city] police department, what is your emergency?"

Wouldn't an AV program flag this as a keylogger or does it work in a different manner?

The problem with trying to guesstimate a time with a true ED is that from the time you check till the time you arrive the situation could change dramatically and the 30 minute wait could easily morph into a 3-hour wait.

Can you explain the advantage of being git-based? I don't know a much about Git.

Love this. Growing up an Air Force brat I was brought up to travel light.

Reminds me of my Army days when we would tape a nickel to the top of a 9v battery to use them as hand warmers.

Duh, obviously you use your portable 8-track player.

Not weird at all. I bailed on FB several years ago when I realized that it was a time suck and nothing good really came of it (for me anyway).
