Thank you. This is a brilliant tip.

This is good timing as I am currently looking for a job (and while I prefer full-time, I’m also considering contract, but I just don’t know if I should go with W2 or corp-to-corp).

I agree that parts of Brooklyn was really dangerous back in the day and some parts are still are. I remember when I moved to Prospect Heights as a kid (2 blocks from Grand Army Plaza and the museum) and how dangerous my mother thought Park Slope was. She’s still there, some 30 years later, and her apartment would…

All that @woohiz says is on the money and there’s still more to come:

To flip it about... this past weekend there was the annual Sakura Matsuri festival at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens. This is a very big thing that celebrates donation of cherry blossom trees to NY back in the early 20th century. I’ve gone there many times but the festival has gotten really crowded in the last few years.

You’re from Brooklyn (and perhaps have moved out) or do you actually live in Brooklyn right now? Because ... if you have seen Downtown Brooklyn in last few years, holy shit HAVE WE GOT SKYSCRAPERS. Luxury condos, rentals and hotels already built up and many more coming. I predict a huge shift of workers from Manhattan…

No, we’ve talked about it before. I don’t think she quite gets how fed up I am. But she will once I do a complete purge of every trace of her from the apartment! :-0

VOTE: I vote for SOG knives. Here’s my knife (blade is shiny because I just cleaned it before taking this photo). I’ve own two SOGs in the past 20 years and this one is almost 15 years old.

This is EXACTLY what I intend do.

Wow, nice. Just bought it off iTunes.

My go-to jam for my chores. Girl drops it hot.

From personal experience, yes drinking beer while eating hot chilies is an exercise in masochism. But on the other hand, the more spicy food you eat, the higher the tolerance you will build up.

Yes there will be someone that will ALWAYS stick up for cops no matter what they do and how they do it. Here in NYC, that man is Pat Lynch, president of the Policeman's Benevolent Association.

Would also recommend wearing a compression shirt while you work out. It also helps to keep your skin "tucked in", so to speak.

What an incredibly timely article. Not less than an hour ago UPS dropped off a brand-new Dell U2414H monitor that I ordered from Amazon. Resolution is 1920x1080 (16:9 ratio). I could have gotten the newer model U2415H (1920x1200, 16:10 ratio) but I already have a U2414H so I wanted to keep the same product.

I have the Bluetooth version, Sony MDR-10RBT. Bought it about 8 months ago, sounds great, excellent construction. I really wish it also had noise-canceling but I guess the additional power drain on the battery might be too high? A pity.

You know what this would be really useful for?

Maybe it will finally solve the problem of how to clean all the peanut butter out of a plastic jar when it's done? Man, I hate throwing it out in the recyclables with all that food still stuck inside. I tried filling it with water and nuking it but that doesn't completely clean it out. I mean, come on, if we can…

Read this article on LifeHacker not too long ago:

Would like to see similar list of skills for children and teens on the autistic spectrum.
