All of their exes having been “crazy,” is a solid red flag. Either they’re consiously/subconsciously seeking out the high drama love interests, or far more likely, they are batty and it brings out the battiness in other people.

Somebody needs to make a GIF explaining the correct pronounciation.

Right, your phone locks you in pretty heavily. You can get some third party services, but if you want straightforward and simple, the native apps are sort of written in stone.

“I’m taking a Harvard class on Buddhism, with the senior lecturer on budhist literature!”
“Really, that sounds great, who’s the instructor?”
“Hmmm, Charle’s, Chuck, Chuckie? something like that.”

Right, I mean unless you are willing to outlay a few grand a year, the average consumer locks into a phone for 12-24 months minimum. You may not “lock in” to an ecosystem, but you do have two years with one OS riding around in your pocket.

I’ll cop to my major screw up. In the early days of MP3s, I backed minidisks hard. I even liked DAT, but knew people weren’t going to outlay the cash to invest in that system. I have a feeling if I’d been around for it, my laser disk collection would be second to none.

Prepared to back you on this one. Cutting brownies from a square pan into rectangles seems complicated and not worth it. 4, 9, 12, all good, but going out of your way to elongate them . . . just odd.

I think I may have attempted to flirt with a nurse or two. Lord knows no woman can resist a drugged up guy in a paper gown, but I don’t remember saying anything too odd.

I’ve been hating this news story. In college, we cracked open some agar plates for a project, then realized we had a few too many and put them back (it was a beginning bio class, so we weren’t super invested in the experiment or proper procedures).

I wonder if that Hemingway stat isn’t affected by his “improper grammar.” When he wanted a certain rhythm to a sentence, he was basically of the opinion that he could put commas wherever he damn well pleased. If someone went through and fixed his punctuation, would he hit a sixth grade reading level?

You’ve got me there. Saw this comment and popped down to the local dispensary (where I saw the “Marlboro M” container). Turns out it’s a joke they mocked up based on this myth. I definitely feel suckered, but the thing is still funny.

Believe me, I hate it too.

Wait what? Granted I’m reading translations, but even with the removal of the word “rod,” it does seem like a pretty kid-slappy section of the book, there’s 13:24 but there’s also:

I was more pointing out that Catherine’s sentence was weirdly phrased, not arguing what the bible does or doesn’t say. But, I’m pretty sure it’s mostly just the KJV that uses the “spare the rod spoil the child,” language. NIV for example says “He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to…

Agreed. I try to whitelist them every few months, but the videos are a dealbreaker. I like the site. I want to support them, but it’s as though they’re trying to make the ads too annoying to ignore (hell, it’s an ad, if you can ignore it, they aren’t getting their money’s worth, so maybe they are).

I’m confused; is your contention that the book of proverbs isn’t in the bible?

If you’ve got no scruples, and I don’t, an investment in a company like Philip Morris, or the other major tobacco companies is going to be an investment in legal weed.

Having features from various areas and being neutral are two very different things. You’re describing something a lot of people have, which is speech reflecting the various places you have lived. Any of those places would have their own identifiable accent, so someone who grew up exclusively in one of them wouldn’t…

I didn’t realize this was an issue at all. I have a prescription that i take as needed (not often) and it occasionally expires, or at one point I changed to a different similar medication because the doc thought it would work better for me. Every time I’ve had pills I wasn’t going to take, I just took them back to the…

:) thanks
