He never granted her freedom. She never received her papers which meant she could never leave Virginia.

OMG! After yesterday’s loss, I was actually thinking “Call Claude!” I’m so excited!

Oh good! I was waiting to see if someone would respond with the proper reason why so many cats do not meow! Not surprising, especially if no other cat around can teach them!

Trust me, they can turn very scary about things like that. I understand how difficult it must be for anyone to not have anybody to touch for years but it’s the viciousness they can show visitors that can be scary.

Honestly, you really don’t want to do that. These guys need very little reasons to get excited and, when they do, things can turn pretty ugly fast.

I worked at a jail for a while and set it off regularly. Our COs knew about this and would ensure that it was specifically the bra and nothing else and waved us through.

Anybody ever listen to the This American Life podcast about Lindy West (who used to work for Jezebel at the time) and the troll who created a twitter account for her recently deceased father? He used it to constantly hurl insults at her. She managed to get in touch with him. Great episode which you can find here: If…

But these novels were not written by American authors? Philip K. Dick is American and has had an impact on American SFM lit (as well as other genres like movies, comic books, etc.)

The people having the discussion in the comments are mostly customers. The original article was written by a customer and it is being dissected here in this blog for our viewing pleasure.

Quebec just got right on red a few years ago. It's also the only place I know drivers (that's plural!) who got tickets for going the too , i.e., slowspeed limit! Cops said stay with the flow!

I posted some info to ism that you may miss since it's not a direct reply. I steered her towards salary.com which I use to get an idea of what my job description and salary should be for a similar position in my neck of the woods. It will help determine if you're really doing two (or more) roles which is important…

I'm a bit late on the ball but whenever I want to negotiate a salary or a change of job description, I hit salary.com so that I can compare similar titles and experience in my area. It's not perfect but it really puts a more neat picture in my head; this is so important for when you sit down and negotiate.

Guys, you inspire me today! Thank you so much! I needed this!

I can't believe that Gizmodo readers have such a hard time understanding what Burnett is doing. Either they feel guilty about not having safe passwords so they would rather no one has this data available to start working on some fixes or they are really afraid... like people are afraid to get autism from vaccination…

He looks like someone on steroid medication. I had a student who contracted lupus (yeah, really) went from gorgeous to having the lower part of her face completely distorted while her body was only mildly bloated after having to take some sort of steroids to combat the disease.

My ex lived in Denmark for almost two years and though he's keen with languages like I am (speaks Russian and dabbles with French) he had a hard time with Danish. The Scandinavian languages were kind of isolated for a while and got to develop outside of everybody else in a more modern-ish time... I think, not sure if…

It's language! Not using it is really "killing" it in your mind! I speak 3 languages fluently, one of them, my mother-tongue, I lose a little bit every day because I never use it. I learned Spanish about a century ago but there's not a lot of Spanish-speaking people where I'm from so I lost it and since I've moved to…

I took Chinese for a little over 2 years. One year in a class in Chinatown in Boston, another year with a private tutor and I stopped when I lost my job... biggest mistake... One more year and I would have been fluent. I get back on the saddle on and off but intend to do so in a couple of months.

I only took Chinese (though I started to to teach myself Japanese but was learning Russian at the same time and got too confused)... shì (fourth tone) means 10 as well as To Be in Chinese... Which can be used as an affirmative... a bit like okay.

You're right... A lot of Asian countries actually. You get into an elevator in Singapore and you're like wait, what?
