Confidence or the illusion of confidence is incredibly important to socialization. I'm emotionally fragile and constantly depressed. People generally don't want to be around others that demonstrate outward signs of stress. Despite my problems, I can fake confidence long enough to make me seem pleasant and a allow…

The only thing that ever bothered me is not having a good idea of possible genetic problems. I went to college with a brilliant guy who was in way better shape than me and kinder to his body than I am. He just dropped dead one day at 24. I just don't know what I'm at risk for. Other than that there's no downside to me…

What sucks about being adopted is having no knowledge of family history.

They are not "industrial strength." Back when they were popular on notebook computers, a false positive occurred around 1 out 100 swipes. That's probably why they aren't as common as they used to be. It should be secure enough for a phone. I don't even have any kind of authentication on my phone.

I just worry that it's money that I may need before retirement paying off debt and saving for a home or something like that. I hear people say you can borrow from your 401(k) but my concern is fees wiping out the interest I'd be paying back to myself plus I'm a job hopper. I don't know what it's going to cost to…

I remember getting the front glass replaced on my phone. The piece was about $20 on eBay. The repair shop charged me $35 for labor, which is fairly reasonable since it saves me time and meant I could have it fixed that day but they material cost was $90. They didn't do that good of a job since I can see where the glue…

What about the people whose profile is simply "Ask me." Should I just not bother with people who don't leave a real opening for a conversation?

Sriracha and Dave's Insanity Sauce for me.

I'm imagining the media panic surrounding people beating each other to death with water bottles.

DBAs seem to be scarce. I don't know if there's just not a lot available or companies don't want to hire more than one or what. I try not to give them any grief even when they're doing things wrong and I try to point them to exactly where the issue is (missing something in a stored procedure for example) when I…

I don't throw tantrums but I get better responses if I throw swear words into my description of the problem and point out how I am being inconvenienced by said problem.

Don't use your full name on social media. Employers aren't going to spend ages scouring through search results to find you.

The whole "does everything console" junk might work with a Google console since my Google account is put to use in several ways unlike my PSN and XboxLive accounts.

It's pretty much industry standard to hold onto all data. There's a chance of it still being marketable data long after an account is deleted.

I worry about their speed for the most part. Some point and shoot cameras are already slow to start up and write to the card. With a robust OS, how long will it take for me to start taking pictures from turning it on? My phone's camera comes up pretty fast but that's with the device already being powered on. I think…

A lot of workplaces have a ton of extra cables of various sizes laying around.

I like to use them to store my prescription pills in.

Winn-Dixie's brand, Chek, is pretty good and cheap. It doesn't taste exactly the same but it has a distinct flavor that I actually like.

Pretty much never since it likely doesn't matter to THE MAN. Though, I don't install apps on my phone that want permission for way more things than they should ever need.

Some plants do better with a lot less water. I don't water chile plants until they wilt.
