There's also a flowchart you can follow, but it's a bit hard to read.

Sometimes, this can be as simple a fix as tightening the screws. When my glasses start to get loose, it's usually because the frame is wobbling around one of those screws.

Here's a friendly video I like to link when I hear about anti-vaxxing. It's non-confrontational while still communicating the important points, all in two minutes.

Or use my mom's trick: Visit the restrooms. You can judge an entire establishment based on the level of repair, cleanliness, and thought they put into their restrooms.

Thanks for the excellent link; it's always good to see even more literature about asexuality. I'm not sure how it backs up your point, though. If you're implying the girlfriend might be asexual and not know it (as opposed to disinterested in SiS, depressed, suffering from hormone problems, etc.), then breaking off the…

Yeah, I also wasn't impressed with that advice. Counseling, therapy, communication, ultimatums, hormonal birth control issues (as another commenter brought up), open relationship . . . There are many things SiS could try, but nope, let's dump the relationship because his girlfriend isn't spreading her legs on command.

Many moons ago, I got stuck in a three-year friendship with someone who, long story short, was self-destructive and constantly expected me to save her from her own manufactured drama. Earlier this year, I set out to rewrite one of my old manuscripts ("Eden Green"), and ended up centering it on a similar (okay, exactly…

Considering how stylish the coin backdrop looks, it kind of bugs me that this one doesn't match. I wonder if there's a story here. ("I DON'T CARE IF YOU ONLY HAVE ONE PHONE LEFT TO DO, I NEED THOSE PENNIES!!!")

All would-be programmers should be made to sit down and assemble some kind of kit for a few hours. Then when they try to use or play with their creation, it falls apart. They go back through, re-cementing joints and re-soldering connections, yet it falls apart again. Repeat this process every ten minutes for the next…

Start off with the mind-blowing, 'eff yeah science!', Cosmos-style areas that tend to fascinate young wannabe scientists. Gauge student reactions and, if any show especial interest (asking questions, wanting to know more, generally looking starry-eyed), arrange for testing that could put them on a path to STEM…

This would have been helpful a few weeks ago at my husband's high school reunion.

Because if there's one thing I want when I'm lying in bed, it's a sharpened pencil pointing upward, toward my face. Don't fall out of bed!

Their sense of humor! My parents are gentler sorts, and I had to repeatedly warn my SO to tone it down during visits. Meanwhile, his family is a bit more 'cutting' and sarcastic with their humor, which still makes me uncomfortable sometimes.

the cheese fries did sort of make me salivate as well as dry heave a bit.

It might sound silly, but there was a time in my life when this logic led me to disregard thinking about my health at all. Here's what I eventually arrived at:

RE: technique, I agree wholeheartedly. I'd love to see the 'found footage' perspective applied to more genres (comedy, drama, war, etc.).

After reading your post last night, I rushed off to watch this and was ENCHANTED. This is found footage done right, absolutely. I have to see more movies in this vein.

I've loved this genre since I was a kid. The idea of footage captured during a terrible situation (Blair Witch, Cloverfield, Grave Encounters, etc.) is fascinating; one day, you could turn on CNN and see similar images.

Our local library has partnered with Overdrive; however, every time I go to check, they have NONE of the books on my reading list. (Granted, I mostly read recommendations from io9.)

Wait, I haven't seen the review for Blue yet. It mentions WtNV?! (rushes to watch it)
