Probably closer to 3k years ago, but your point is well received.

I was very happy when they notified me of the price drop. I almost grabbed the 1TB of storage, but I don't quite need it... yet.

I'm beta testing the mobile app and, if what I'm seeing is any indication, it will soon be so horrible as to be unusable.

So the least nutritious apple is still a freaking apple. Hey, radio lady, eat apples instead of analyzing them.

I can only justify the Honeycrisps in October from the orchard ($1.99/lb instead of $4 at the grocery store in February). I do love them, though.

I will use exercise (or even just standing up and moving around) to help add some energy, but as a migraine sufferer (dilation of the blood vessels in the brain), I use caffeine to control my symptoms (since it is a vascular constrictor). I can't overuse it though otherwise I'll end up with a headache first thing in…

I find the biggest inhibitor to common sense is the expectation that the other person is supposed to make you happy. I get very frustrated when people around me aren't doing their job. If my partner's "job" is to make me happy (which won't happen all the time) when the job isn't done I can see it as a personal…

I've had terrible luck with refurbished Logitech products (2 mice and one keyboard died on me).

I file my own when I can. A few times I've gotten to the point where the software can't handle all my issues, then I go to a professional.

More work than always having three stories available?

It's actually less work to listen to people and let the conversation flow from what they are saying.

"What keeps you busy during the week?" (not what do you do for a living, so they can choose to answer with what's interesting to them)

"Oh, tell me more about that!"

F…

The best way to be interesting is to ask great questions about other people. They will think you're awesome if you listen attentively.

Oh to be sure, there are still physical cues for electronic reading, but some (or most) of them are stripped away, especially the location based cues.

Memory is all about using your neural pathways to the greatest effect.

Also taking notes (by hand) helps to not only digest the information but to store it in a different place in your mind. The more places you store the same information, the more easily it can be recalled later.

You are creating better neural connections when you consume physical media. Your brain associates the feel, the smell, the sound of turning pages, and the location of the information within the text.

Electronic formats strip out much of the neural metadata that our brains use to categorize and recall information.

Comcast and Verizon have been caught throttling Netflix.

The ever changeable truthfulness of the attractive hero spread frightening predictions to the people who previously didn't believe in god interfering in things. Because the people didn't get on board with the ideas of the government pulling out of the church they were frustrated every 14 days so Felix decorated his…

It depends on a lot of things. If you want to write literary fiction, a 4-6th grade reading level won't cut it.

If you're writing genre fiction that's probably the sweet spot.

Agreed. You can also switch off the highlights for different things. This, for me, will be most helpful in identifying passive voice and adverb usage.

This passage (not in any story, just made up to test things) scored a grade level of 26!
