Used to be. Now you just have to be a 20 year old with a “disruptive” idea. Read: “disruptive” used to be called “stupid.” That’s why we didn’t give tens of millions to 20 year olds, i.e. Duplan.

But the founder HAS to be a Stanford dropout to get any funding. Graduates are squares, dropouts are visionaries that couldn’t be contained by the curriculum, MAAAAAAN

The only question now is the size of the CEO’s golden parachute and her comp package at her next unicorn.

I don’t believe 9/11 was an inside job, but what I do believe is that the intelligence at the time pointed to an attack similar to the World Trade bombing in the early 90s- not a major loss of life or property but certainly enough to invade Iraq. The administration allowed the attack to occur, not realizing the…

Patent examiner (semiconductors) here. Believe me, all the big boys are working on it. Our dockets are about 1/3 “how do we make this flexible” applications (although almost all of that is for displays). I agree that certain elements won’t be- for example a processor will remain an inflexible object on an otherwise…

Whatever happened to the Raiders to San Antonio talk?

That movie was so awful I took my headphones off and listened to a baby crying on my flight instead.

“Stanford dropout” could come up with a startup to deliver eggs by catapult and still get 9 figures of seed money before their 21st birthday.

I always thought laundry balls were to keep your sheets from tangling?

I lived in North San Jose, near the border of Milpitas for my last year in the Bay Area. Immersed in fantastic pho everywhere. Now I’m in Houston, and I just got some baller Banh Mi from Les Grival’s. I too, see absolutely zero reason to cook this yourself. Chances are, if you live in a place that doesn’t have…

his hair is literally the same color as the orange in the logo

How fucking long are idiots going to mention the hot coffee case? At least read about it on wikipedia for 10 seconds. She sued for (going from memory) $18K. The ***COURT*** allowed the jury to award punitive damages because McDonald’s lawyers kept material information from the plaintiffs during discovery (that other…

I agree... how could they let him walk on those other counts??

Perfect. Just moved into a 3 story townhouse and I want one of these on every floor. I also purchased a 12 pack of moving blankets a few weeks ago for $80, because the moving company wanted like $20 *per item* to wrap in blankets, then keep their blankets, so fuck that. However, now Amazon thinks I have a moving…

I hope it’s as successful as their whatever in Ferguson.

So, I’ve had multiple friends in the past become addicted to drugs, and I’ve had to watch them spiral the toilet bowl until their life was basically flushed. I tried, of course, to help, but the old trope is true: you can’t help someone who doesn’t think they need help.

there is absolutely zero chance this was unintentional. Someone in that ad agency thought it was the month after this song came out and everyone was still hysterical about it.

Snip, snip. Problem solved.

The night I proposed to my now fiance, we were in an AirBnB in Marin County. I slipped on a very loose bathmat in the bathroom and split my head open. Came to in a pool of my own blood with her and the host standing over me deciding if they’re going to call 911 or not. Thankfully, it was a skin deep cut, and some…
