I noticed the same, and am going with 'oval' as the closest approximation.

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.

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.

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…

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.

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.)

Ideally, I try to give enough space so that I can't clearly read the license plate in front of me. (This became more difficult when I bought new glasses.)

Yeah, that's the part I get hung-up on. I could see if the method called for only one page, or a few paragraphs, but three pages of handwritten text would take me about twenty minutes. I can't help noticing that I could probably pound out 1500 words of random thoughts in about five minutes.

Or if you're like me and can't afford that much glass and are paranoid about smashing it, you can get an 8'x4' sheet of melamine tileboard for $15 at Home Depot. You *have* to keep it fairly clean (wipe it down good after a few days, and only with a dry or slightly damp cloth, no chemicals). They'll cut it for free if…

In the meantime, though, you need to take care of yourself. Get out of the apartment as much as possible. Crash with friends if you possibly can. Spend time with your friends and family, people who will support you during this incredibly shitty time.

No love for the Emergent Task Planner? http://davidseah.com/blog/node/the-…

Haha, my main collaborator is a die-hard Linux fan, so I'm not sure if that will happen. Plus, despite my love of Windows 7, I'm not a fan of Microsoft after last week's no-ip debacle.

All of this, and neither Google nor any add-on makers have given us color-coded Google Document comments :( Would really help when writing a novel; could code comments as 'joke', 'grammar/wording', 'plot', etc.

Setting 'dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled' to 'false' renders Google Documents unable to copy text to the clipboard, since it uses some strange method. Also, the 'dom.event.contextmenu.enabled' tip from another comment causes Firefox' native context menu to overlap Google's context menus in Maps and Documents.…
