...and once I download an app using Amazon Underground, any updates would be handled by Amazon Underground instead of the Google Play infrastructure, right? Yeah, no thanks.

I have the Oster version of this stove - they’re identical, except for the price - so I’m voting for this one too.

I’m talking to my high school self:
You don’t need a relationship to validate you as a person
Don’t think that a relationship with someone will solve the issues that you have with your own family - relationships are not for rescuing you from your family.
Hey, that one guy? The one who bumped into you that you fell for?…

That's because, for inexplicable reasons, your species likes to roll around in smelly things. And for some reason, those of you who don't roll around in smelly things, start smelling really odd. That said, once a week is a little too much. My four-footed-fur-person gets tossed in the tub every 3 or 4 weeks.

I wish I'd seen the original discussion, but I doubt many people know about Lo-Lo Lips (from bar-maids.com). Their lip balm is fantastic (maybe even better than Burt's Bees, and I adore Burt's)... so are their moisturizing bars.

My son was recently diagnosed with Autism, is severely ADHD, and has a heart condition. He's been put on a six month cardiologist schedule so he can be watched for surgery, because his heart defect is deteriorating faster than it should be. We always knew he would need this surgery, but he wasn't supposed to need it…

You'd be surprised - there are plenty of companies that are working with complicated Excel or Access back-ends (I know, I *know*) that want someone with a VB background. And there are companies that don't know what to ask for - they want a business analyst with a strong Excel background with pivot tables, and macros.…

...but those companies that have architecture that needs it, really want the folks with those skills!

From what it looks like in the picture, those are cobs with the corn sliced off. And the linked article has this as the first line: "We had scraped a dozen ears of corn for dinner."

Or you're just being an ass who is trying to get attention. That happens from time to time in my gym (usually when the high school sports guys are working out)

Please also: don't bathe in perfume or cologne before you come to the gym - the smell gets even stronger when you sweat, and some of us have sensitivities to that stuff (or we just plain hate having our senses assaulted by it). And wash your gym clothes regularly.

Indeed! I don't think my hubby and I would answer those questions the same way either... and we've been together for almost 20 years.

I lived in a ~620 sq ft studio apartment once. It was a rectangular shape, with a couple of walls, and it was laid out just right, with a bedroom, a living area, kitchen, and (tiny) bathroom. I did this right out of college, and even with all the stuff I had, it's surprising what you can fit in that kind of space.
A…

I knit. Sometimes I play games on my mobile, but mostly I knit.

I don't disagree with you. People *should* learn in order to add more value to themselves, streamline what they do, etc. But they don't, because people are inherently lazy for exactly the reason you said: they're comfortable with the process and it's the way it's always been done. And that's just shameful and sad.

I think the problem with your example (not that I have an issue with what you did) is that most people who are proficient in Excel don't feel the need (*or are not sufficiently motivated) to learn a programming language like Ruby, or spend the time to get really familiar and comfortable with R, to be able to do…

Totally. Add pivot tables to that list too - such an easy and powerful data summary tool, and it scares most people (even those who claim to be "power users")

Just as easy: cut the cotton pads you're using in half, lightly dip them with nail polish remover, put the pad on your fingertip, and then put tinfoil over your fingers tightly. You can just sit for 5 minutes or so and the polish will come right off (with maybe a light wipe) when you remove the foil and the pad.

Salespeople, executives, annoying guys who send high priority emails and then come over 5 seconds after they hit send to confirm that you got the email. I always had headphones/earbuds/something on, and would just keep working straight through (even if I didn't have music running). If a sign didn't discourage them,…
