I feel that pain. I'm lucky enough to live in a neighborhood that has an evening farmers market... but there are so many restaurants in the neighborhood that even if I duck out of work a little early, a lot of the best stuff will be gone.

Some companies make compartmented backpacks and shoulder bags just for us farmers market shoppers. I use Betabrand’s Cornucopia Bag but I’ve seen others while shopping. That way you can not only separate out delicate produce but, for instance, I'll group veggies, herbs, berries, and breads. And if I'm making other…

I liked this even more when I saw some commenter below make it about the Mets.

Thanks (and also to Shep) for the additional reassurances. Since the marketing for Photos emphasizes the connection with iOS, I've been skeptical, but after installing Photos last night, it looks like it can handle RAW photos natively, and if it gives me editing options equal to or better than iPhoto's, I'm fine with…

Awesome — thank you. I have a secondary library I can use to test Photos to make sure it does what I need before making a big switch, but I'm the rare outlier who found that iPhoto pretty much had the editing features I needed and the headline features for Photos don't really apply. (As it is, iPhoto is great with my…

Does it actually delete iPhoto? I've got tens of thousands of photos in there and it works just fine for me. And I don't use iOS so there's no cross-platform advantage for me there. Plus, Lightroom doesn't install on my 2011 MacBook Pro running Yosemite (which I love otherwise).

It's not easy to use, but AntiSpamSMS 2 has worked for me. It can block both SMS and calls.

But aside from those categories, Gizmodo, Lifehacker, and the rest are getting the full deals post again now? The last I heard (which seems like within the last few days), all of the sites would feature a curated subset of the deals. I really just want to know that I'm seeing everything rather than redundantly reading…

Agreed. It has layers, it's plenty flexible, and it works locally. (Uploading pics to a server-based editor is an insane waste of time.) I wouldn't use it for batch operations like resizing or cropping — the unitaskers do a better job there for a reason — but I just don't think I've ever wanted to do something with an…

I guess, as Brick George says, anything that has a binary state. A lot of them might be binary in some contexts but not in others, though.

Well, yeah, we all have our quirks and favorite windmills to tilt at. (Mine is that my boss won't let us use the gender-neutral singular "they." That dates back at least to Shakespeare!) But I mostly blame the "unique cannot be modified" idea — along with "infinitives can't be split" and "prepositions can't end…

Likewise, I've been an editor since 1980. There's no dilution going on, since the modifiable meanings are some two centuries old. If you want to point out to people that they're modifying the unmodifiable meanings when they do that, go for it. But the line you will not cross for the modifiable meanings is your own.

M-W's usage paragraph notes that the modifiable definitions of "unique" date to the 19th century, so I feel like it's had some time to catch on; it isn't a modern quirk.

But people in the real world use AP Stylebook even less than they use Merriam-Webster's.

This just isn't true. The magazine I work for uses Merriam-Webster's 11th Collegiate, which has a usage note lecturing holders of this point of view that's longer than the entry itself. The meanings "peculiar" or "unusual" are perfectly valid and modifiable.

Comfort's obviously a very personal thing, but since my hands aren't symmetrical, the asymmetric handle is much better for me. I think it gives me more leverage when I'm actually using it as a scraper or cleaning tool too.

IIRR many Chromebooks also come with a temporary boost (a year or two) to your Google Drive. After buying a refurb Chromebook on Woot, I'm at 125 GB. Refurbs are iffy; if the original owner claimed the space, you can't, but I got lucky.

I agree that Congress and Bush screwed up when they changed the dates, but it doesn't make any sense not to make the change. There's no need for the hour of light from 4:15 a.m. to 5:15 a.m., which, according to the Naval Observatory's site, is the hour Chicago would get if idiots canceled DST. And it's far more…

Right. So why not have it where it does the most good?

Well hell. I realized I should be replying to Platypus Man, because those times are accurate for no DST, not for a 30-minute change. But Kinja thinks "Cancel" means "Publish." Thanks, Obama.
