So... In order to make a lot of money as an engineer, you go in management?

You seem to be implying that the only craft beers are IPAs and darks. I'll admit that many breweries seem to be making the same mistake, but I'd take a hefeweizen as a refreshing drink well before an American lager, or a white Belgian beer. Both come to fairly low alcohol percentages and are crisp and easy to drink.

Those knots may look fancy but they all seem rather awkward for using a scarf in actually cold weather, i.e. over your face. If it's hot enough to wear one like this, I don't really see the point (and they're often too hot then).

Celebrate to me means getting with the family, getting and giving gifts, and having a few days off. I celebrate Christmas too, and I'm also an atheist. I really don't see anything hypocritical about this: just as Christianity leveraged existing pagan celebrations, why wouldn't I leverage existing religious…

In French "Merry Christmas" is "Joyeux Noël", which lacks the immediate Christian connotation (christmas). While, etymologically speaking, it's most likely related to nativity, it's not such a clear thing as in English.

While these are all great tips, I still say you can't beat having a nice, thick, well-insulated winter coat if it gets cold often enough around you. Something like goose feather insulation just can't be beat, and I frequently go out in -25C weather during the harsh January/February weeks without really feeling it…

I can foresee a rise in the popularity of older women as Uber drivers, masquerading as moms.

Seems like it assumes that you don't automatically save the interest. If you manually input the $7500/mo you'd get from the $90,000 yearly interest in the savings bar, you'll get the correct expected time.

Alternatively, send an email to inbox@google.com and wait a day or two.

I have doubts that they'd repair that sort of damage for an 8 year-old computer. You can always go there and straight up say that you've had those cracks for years but couldn't afford the repairs and only recently heard that they were a common issue, but your chances are rather slim.

Seen that big dark menacing face that plasters most posts of late? That's the evil week tag. It's a kind of theme, you see? It'll be gone next week, so don't get your panties in a twist.

"Act of God" has a narrower definition than you seem to think though. It basically means events which humans cannot be held responsible for, chief among them natural disasters. It's their way of saying that if your iPod gets smashed by a tornado, the warranty is void.

Yeah honesty has worked pretty well for me too. I actually had to get my IEMs on warranty just last week because I'd been feeling like the right ear wasn't sounding right for a very long time (months). I realized I was out of warranty by a few weeks, but I asked them anyway.

You... You replace your headphones every year because they break? He might've done something sleazy, but you seem to be having a bout of Stockholm syndrome. Just buy something from a company that makes actually good products for a change, you might be surprised that your generalization doesn't hold.

There's also usually a level of inaccuracy in speed measurement devices, be it from human error or the actual device's precision, so they'll generally avoid going for someone who has a certain likelihood of not going over the speed limit once you account for that.

This goes back to information theory. In the case of credit cards, you're using thousands of pixels to store what is effectively just a few bytes of information. Mosaic effects therefore merely reduce the amount of data, but since it's already well in excess of the actual encoded information, it's still enough to…

Bah, you missed an opportunity to go all meta by making this post a sponsored post!

if Dropbox credentials get compromised, you have the ability to remove your 1Password data yourself, rather than rely on the service to protect it for you.

My mom always says that, "57 kinds, like Heinz", to speak of our dog. We've always gone for mutts as well for the exact same reason, and we've never been disappointed. The first one lived for 16 years, our current one is 14 now and she's healthier than purebreeds half her age.
