Did someone mention TRON and I missed it?

I'm not 100% sure that's not a regular sheep who's just turning his head around for some reason. Are there any photos or clips of him where he's not eating? You know, just standing there, lookin' 'round?

I totally read this the first time as "enjoy eating topless at restaurants." I was all "where did the No Shirts No Shoes No Service" thing go?

You make it sound as if the misleading headline was accidental. How... misleading of you.

Am I the only one who can't make heads or tails of the author's second paragraph?

I kinda want one but I'm not sure what's involved in learning to program it. I'm not even sure what sort of documentation comes with it. I'm afraid of receiving a box in the mail with a RasPi and a slip of paper that says, "Clearly you know what you're doing or you wouldn't have ordered this thing in the first place.…

You keep saying this. You don't seem to realize that sometimes people - even people who, you know, plan ahead - find themselves in unforeseen situations and have to do awkward things, like try to rent a car or a hotel room without a reservation. And people with physical impairments often can't take advantage of all…

Why? Prices are a reflection of the value of an exchange. If a vendor (say, your local Big Box Mart) is unwilling to negotiate on prices, fine, but if the vendor is willing, why shouldn't you be?

It might not. The reason these MLM schemes proliferate is the same reason lotteries and casinos succeed: there are a few people who legitimately come out ahead. In an MLM, it's the early adopters and the real go-getters who spend their energy on recruiting more than selling.

"The reality is that autism is actually on the decline since then [...]"

My son has autism. We are blessed that his case is comparatively mild, and reflects mostly in a severe lack of verbal communication skill, but it's a huge challenge for us nonetheless. I know he's frustrated, and getting more so as the months pass. I would give just about anything for him not to have to deal with…

So... how is this not a giant boon for spammers everywhere?

I had great success with Weight Watchers, a program that I highly recommend, but the reality is that any system that allows/encourages you to track your actual food intake will be useful. There are plenty of free calorie-counting apps and websites out there.

So, you know that joke where the patient goes to the doctor and says, "It hurts when I move my arm like this," and the doctor says, "So don't move your arm like that?" Yeah, the reason it's a joke is because only a bad doctor would consider that a treatment of the problem.

You could always be a leader. ;-)

Ooo. That's a whole different kind of evil.

"Not really the smokers' fault, as that's where the company put the ashtray."

The caveat about mucus not being the best indication is certainly worth it. My allergies tend to lead to sinus infections, which do turn my snot yellow (or brown).

Yeah... my problem is I tend to accumulate browser tabs this way, for all the articles and such that I'll read "shortly." More than 50 tabs is not unusual. So the computer starts running slower and slower and eventually the browser crashes, and occasionally won't recover the tabs when I restart it. Or, worse, the…

It's a fair point. The problem with doing a job you dislike - really, spending any large amount of time each week doing something you dislike - is that it starts to suck the motivation out of you, pointing you towards depression and years of treading water.
