Then there’s antisocial, who like to burn things for no apparent reason.

Its reliability and low self discharge that sets Eneloop apart. When NiMH batteries first showed up on the scene, manufactures rushed to get as high capacities as possible, which resulted in the majority of batteries not being suitable for a large variety of applications (like TV remotes that use very little power…

What cockpit is this, I don't recognize it?

"Anti-social" is another one that comes up frequently, although not as demeaning as the other examples, it's still grossly misused. As someone who studies psychology, I find it humorous and frequently remind my friends to use "asocial" instead and get stares of contempt in return.

Finally someone who understands the Myers Briggs test. Too many people answer the introvert/extrovert question by dismissing it somehow, in a similar fashion to how interviewees answer the "your biggest weakness" question by saying they "work too hard".

Obligatory

The alcohol cooks out, the 60-96.5% of not-alcohol doesn't (necessarily), so yeah, there's going to be a taste (which is presumably part of the point?).

The most tangible quality of learning philosophy I can think of, is that it teaches you critical reasoning skills.

Man, I've been wanting to get an old style Dymo, I like the look of the embossed labels it makes. But for $10, it'd be stupid not to buy the one recommended instead.

I saw this wallpaper a few years ago after a trip and it somehow looked very familiar, its the Natural History Museum in London

We need to create a demand for the type of company cultures we desire rather than continually placating to them at the expense of ourselves. Jobs should be worked to help create opportunities for an individual to live their lives, not the other way around.

Oh come on, nobody's THAT big.

Thats a very good point. We get so inundated by our 9-5 culture and ready made jobs where all you have to do is show up, that we perceive our culture is holding us down, but when it comes down to it, we've seemed to have made a silent agreement to be placated to for a sense of routine and security. In my experience,…

10 points to you for featuring Brad Sucks

The concept of "psychological flow" as championed by Mihály Csíkszentmihályi comes to mind.

Learned a word today, weltanschauung which roughly means "world view" or "philosophy of life". Which to me speaks to this issue of "how to be a functional human being". We aren't these input-output productivity machines, despite on how much we may like to think we are. We are to some extent finicky, whimsical…

I think "passion" includes so much more than just "what you like to do", but rather its about an internal drive to be "in flow" with that thing, to work past failure and mediocrity, and enjoy bringing value to others with that thing.

I go camping in the desert several times a year (I live in Utah and like to play outdoors) and this year was my first Burning Man. Like anybody else, all I heard about was how difficult it was to cope with the conditions at times, and how much attention I needed to make to being sure I'd be ready. I took heed to all…

You shouldn't pursuit your passion with a sense of entitlement, you wont get far and it will make you more miserable in the process. Instead, pursuit it with openness, realizing that its going to take a lot of real work and time to get there and you'll probably have to do some less-than-favorable jobs in the mean…

That tape wouldn't be found on the floorboard of a 1987 Buick LeSabre (at least not until a poor, wanna-be filmmaker was driving it around in the late 90's), that's a DV Tape, introduced circa 1996 (I believe).
