I had one who set my bed on fire - while I was in it.

Wow, R. I didn't even bother to put it on my resume. We'll fix that now won't we?

But even the math-phobic would take cold comfort in knowing that optional cruise they're considering is 232 loaves of bread - there's no context to the number.

Isn't it easier to to compare the currencies before you leave and remember the rough size difference? Right now about 100 Japanese yen is about can$1.05 so about 5%. I'm in Tokyo and look at the menu and see steak for 5000 yen. "Gee is that steak worth $50?" I dunno, remembering the prices of arbitrary things seems…

It seems to be getting hammered pretty badly by the LifeHackerEffect. Maybe they needed to test a server under load? (I'd always assumed that's why io9 has a gif party every Friday ... that and because it's fun.)

I had very "light" root needs for my Nexus 5 - for some reason Google+ (which can't be uninstalled without root) was misbehaving by chewing up 55% of my battery each day. That and a health claim mobile app that kept leaving the claim form photos outside the "sdcard" area and didn't give me an option to free up the…

Watermelon white wine, maybe. Yeah, that'd work.

The cumulative mass of the sticks amounts to approximately 70% of the initial weight on the watermelon slice (dependent on the space that is left in between the holes). The leftover part with the holes is perfectly fit for human consumption: don't waste it.

My sweetie works at a store, let's call it "Mike Hells", and for a while they have "Buy 2 get 1" promotion. During the promotion, he said he spent at least 25min with one customer who kept holding up things saying "So, you're saying, if I but twooo of these, I get onnnneee free?" "Yes, ma'am, anything with that…

I'm gonna headover and take a peek - back when I was using a $70 phone I got from DealEtreme, no problem. Now I'm using a Nexus, I'm a little hesitant. Thanks everyone.

Just because I'm a complete scaredy-cat - does "did not work on the ..." mean the app says "Can't help you, sorry" or "Sorry, just bricked your phone."?

Ohhhhhhh yeah.

Proviso, I'm in Canada and the political climate is quite different.

It was BRUTAL because I'd spent an hour talking the other half into trying it. "It'll work", I said. "They have more than 6pks of pianos", I said. "It'll be fun", I said.

The window shopping trick doesn't work at our local one - they find a free staff person to escort you row by row through the store so they can "answer any questions you have." We said we were just going to look at a few rows but the duty manager would have none of that.

I came to post the same thing. Here's what happened when I typed "fe" on the bar just now. The two most recent Feedly links I visited, and "fe" search, a direct Feedly link I followed earlier this am and a couple of likely Google searches based on "fe".

At least at smaller, regional airports there's an extra point that makes these flights almost guaranteed to be on time: the equipment that's flying those flights tends to have spent the night there. In our case, we have a daily 625am flight to Newark and the plane is always the one that arrived from Newark the…
