That archival footage is awesome. Bannister’s kick on the back stretch is amazing. Great article, too - I have always loved that iconic photo of Bannister breaking the tape.

Exactly - the “five love languages”; physical touch, acts of service, quality time, giving/receiving gifts, and words of affirmation.

You forgot to include the Finnish principle of kalsarikännit!

Those are fine, except for when they melt (check the reviews for pictures).

Nice to see Mark Knopfler on here. I think he’s underrated. In addition to Sultans, I think his work on Telegraph Road could also be considered to be added to the all-time solos list. Dude really knows how to play dynamically and expressively.

I like the version of Comfortable Numb that was performed by Queensryche and Dream Theater circa 2003. While Michael Wilton of ‘Ryche fumbles the first solo (and pretty badly), John Petrucci of DT *smokes* the second solo, somehow both paying homage to David Gilmour’s style while at the same time putting his own…

I would answer this with regard to a major team project for one of your classes. Was there any major failure, or last minute scrambling to get something done? Any miscommunications that led to a lot of wasted effort? Any of those things can be used as an example. The important thing is to show that you learned from…

You must be talking about the M8 or M9... My HTC One M7 was terrible, much less than 1 day before the battery was toast - and that was in Power Saver mode.

I appreciate a healthy mix: CEOs, artists, actors, writers, entrepreneurs, scientists, office/tech workers, wunderkinds, etc. Each brings their own unique perspective and I find it interesting to see what aligns across the broad spectrum vs. what is a matter of personal preference.

I can sympathize with you. I want to keep Christmas from becoming a gift free-for-all where “more is better” and the kids focus on how much they amass, versus the idea that they should be very thankful for the things they receive. Like yours, my kids get extensively spoiled throughout the year (even for…

Very thorough post and list of resources, Timothy. Definitely bookmark-worthy. Thanks for compiling this!

What are some examples of the things you’ve automated and the apps you’ve replaced?

Where and how do you do this? What’s the usual cost for such a service?

What is the best method for getting the other fluids changed? I know that I am getting overcharged if I go to a do-it-for-me oil change place, possibly even worse at the dealership. But if I don’t trust myself to do it correctly, what’s the next best option to avoid getting ripped off?

Have conversations EARLY, while still dating, about the important topics that could become game-breakers later: money (are you a saver or a spender), children/parenting, where/how you want to live (city/suburbs/rural area), religion, etc. Alignment on these topics can save a lot of arguments and hurt feelings later.

Here’s what I did on Android:

I hope Kryptonite has updated their U-locks over time. As recently as 10 years ago, it was possible to use materials from a standard Bic pen to open a Kryptonite U-lock.

I have had the opposite experience. I have the same company for home, auto, and life insurance, and have had such a positive customer experience that I don’t care how much someone else claims they can save me... I am not leaving my current insurance company. (It also helps that the auto insurance rates are…

Even though it’s dead, Grooveshark still gets my vote.

I’ve heard of this before - the person who practiced it called it “defragging” their house, which as a tech geek I thought was brilliant. I try to practice this when I can - moving something to where it belongs while on my way from room to room within the house. It may not be a huge difference, but it still feels to…
