Can we PLEASE dispel the myth that renting = no maintenance or repair costs? As a renter, you are responsible for basic maintenance (including things like filters), and for anything that you break or damage (like clogged toilets or sinks). Plus depending on your lease you may be responsible for snow removal from…

While airports will often have a lot of additional taxes and fees that non-airport locations don’t have, they’ll also have longer hours (which can make it cheaper than if you have to return it at a time the location is closed) - and some will show up even though they’re only available to commercial customer accounts…

DO NOT DO #2. The person who does this is usually a manipulative jerk who will manage to make themselves the victim and you the bad guy if you do this. DO NOT DO THIS!

I tend to find that these sorts of conversations are just as bad as the ‘I’m being interviewed’ ones, because some people ONLY ask you questions so that they can talk about themselves (i.e., they don’t care about the answers, they just like the sound of their voice). Plus I hate the ‘where are you from?’ question…

‘Holograms are creepy and tacky’ - no they’re not, you’re projecting.

Also keep in mind it may take a while before the death certificates are even available; it took over 9 weeks before my stepfathers’ certificate was available, which was more than enough time for his ‘friends’ and associates to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars of property, vehicles, etc. and no one could/would do…

No, it’s LEGO.

You do that in the Hue app itself.

I don’t think they’d say that since she’s, you know, dead?

Yes and no; the mobile version of Reader acts as Reader, but if you have a DC subscription (which includes the desktop Acrobat) it unlocks mobile features too.

Because it’s not true. You can keep saying it, it’s still not true. People are different from each other, but this evo-psych BS is nonsense designed to fuel sexism and discrimination, it has no basis in reality. Or put it this way: if men are different from women, then how can they both be doctors, lawyers, writers,…

Please shut up, you’re embarrassing yourself. I’m glad that speaking to one woman validated your world view and your confirmation biases. But your premise is flawed because you contradict yourself - you simply cannot say ‘women are good at this and men are good at this’ or other absurd statements and then admit that…

Editing isn’t part of the free Reader portion, it’s part of having a subscription; the app is still called Reader but subscribing unlocks features.

Agreed. I never cease to be amazed by how many dudes simply cannot resist barfing their sexist rhetoric all over any article that dares to mention women. But at least he’s ‘sorry that I feel that way’ :P

Yes, yes, sexism is totally not a thing because the magic of HR makes it impossible! Yes, those mandatory classes totally make racism and sexism disappear! I mean, just because I experience it in one of the Top 10 tech companies in the world, and just because I know dozens of women who experience it in large and small…

For one, I’d bet a lot of women don’t feel like putting up with the insane amount of sexism that I and others deal with every day. It’s the main reason most of the women I know in the industry leave.

Nope. I should have known not to bother with one of you ‘science proves women are different’ buffoons. Hormones? You do know that people take hormones, lose hormones, get gender and/or sex reassignments - it is not, never was, and never will be, as simplistic as ‘women are one way and men are another because penis and…

That is the stupidest, most mental-gymnastics-y thing I’ve ever read, and I feel dumber for having read it. Who cares what your wife thinks? You cannot make a blanket (stupid) statement like ‘women are wired differently’ (nope) and then say ‘some women aren’t’ (‘women’ are not a mono-hive-mind). You are assuming men…

...or maybe women don’t want to work with people who treat them like they’re ‘wired’ differently (ugh) and believe that somehow penis = technicial level? Kind of funny (as in, not really) how men seem to be the ones more interested in telling women that trying to get women in tech is futile.

Thanks for attempting to focus on the outliers, since the exceptions are definitely the priority to be focusing on. /s
