But she literally said she wonders if she would have been less successful as a skinny person... so I’m really not sure what you mean

The truly fucked-up part is that even at companies which offer paid leave, many people do not take very much of it to avoid being perceived as “lazy” or “not a team player”, and thus being passed over for promotions and raises. My company offers a month of paid leave for dads, but one of my coworkers who’s having a…

So you’re saying that to fix New York’s affordable housing problems, the first step should be to eliminate literally the only mechanism by which any affordable housing exists in the city at all?

I quit smoking weed two years ago for this exact reason. When I was a teenager I could use it without issue, which I attribute to its early euphoric effects and the fact that my GAD hadn’t fully manifested at the time. These days, though? Literally one puff sends me into a death spiral of negativity, fear, and…

I’m experiencing this weird glitch where I got all the women in my vault pregnant at once, but after an entire day and night none of them will give birth.

The graphics in Bethesda games have never been cutting-edge. It’s become pretty clear that there are limitations to Creation Kit which make it hard for them to put out something with truly groundbreaking visuals. This game looks like an incremental improvement on Skyrim. But you know what? That’s fine. Creation Kit is…

The idea is that the slide serves as an introduction to and summary of what you're going to actually say. You should never find yourself just reading your presentation off of PowerPoint.

I don't know what you're talking about. The Fable series was a lot of fun.

I have a GV number, but I keep the call screening feature turned off because I found that lots of people I actually want to talk to just ignore it. I put it on my business cards and give it out to clients so I can block harassment or spam if that ever occurs. These people are usually not tech-savvy, though, and when…

I agree. Producing an image of a planet with the same detail as one of Earth taken from our moon will likely always be impossible. I referenced the wrong photograph—I really meant something along the lines of the Pale Blue Dot. That may be impossible, but if we can image a planet with even 1/10 of that resolution, we…

I didn't consent. This happened during my senior year in high school, and my medicine was in my locker inside a canister similar to the one pictured above. The school brought around drug dogs one day, and one of them had a hit in the general vicinity of my locker. They searched all the lockers in the area, and mine…

Word to the wise: in many areas, it's illegal to possess prescription medication outside of a dedicated medical container with your name on it. I learned this during a very unpleasant encounter with the police years ago, which involved me being handcuffed and detained in a squad car for thirty minutes while my father…

Well, the most obvious alternative solution is TeamViewer. But that would require a lot of install work, and as I understand it, they at least ask nicely that you pay them if you're using it in an enterprise environment. Is there an exception for nonprofits?

Well, shit. My workplace is reliant on LogMeIn Free (we're a nonprofit). I assume that they'll pay up at some point, but our approval process for any purchase (particularly recurring expenses) can run a month or more. I just wish that they'd given us more time—why not announce this six months out, instead of seven…

I have a completely ordinary and run-of-the-mill name, but I work with a bunch of older people, and on any given day, at least one person will call me some similar-but-wrong name (despite my having corrected them many times). I've taken to just constantly referring to them by the wrong name as well. At least a few…

Unfortunately, disabling DASH playback also appears to disable 480p and any resolution above 720p. Their website says this is due to a "recent YouTube change". I immediately went and tried to play a few 4K videos and found that I couldn't view them in that resolution. The same was true for 1080p videos I tested. The…

Good thing I've got 16GB in all my machines, then.

I'm sure it depends on the state you file in. I was thinking the same thing when I read that line, and wondering where she filed.

I'm a hobbyist designer, and I do have and use all of those programs, but if I were to apply for a graphic design position I'd probably tout my experience with Illustrator over my Photoshop credentials. I guess they'd both wind up on the resume, though. Still, my point was that Pixelmator has no vector-editing…

Yeah, they could probably go ahead and merge them at this point with little to no effect on their profits. I was just pointing out the likely original reason for the separation. After the CC switchover, it's really a matter of tradition and the messy problem of merging two software teams.
