According to his statement, the production they were working on was wrapping in days, as in, she would no longer be his employee. If you intend to make a move on someone you work with, which is not a crime, I think “one/both of us won’t be working here in a week” is the only acceptable time to make that move.

Shit, I was all ready to be like “Yep, Neil is the sort of awkward nerd who probably used to get creepy.”

The last time Activision Blizzard did anything innovative in gaming was Guitar Hero. 

No more than a couple weeks before the “Lean In” ad campaign started, an ex-girlfriend in sales explained to me how she’d lean in during the pitch so the potential customer could get a better view of her boobs.

It’s four hours and seventeen minutes til’ high noon.

I don’t blame it for feeling threatened. Those kids were swarming it and putting their finger in its face. Robots have a right to act in self-defense when confronted with a gaggle of children who don’t respect personal space.

And... you’re fired.

I don’t think you really understand how marketing works. VS isn’t trying to sell bras to trans women. They’re trying to sell an image to men that men find attractive enough so their wives want to shop there.

Also, America is huge. Everytime its mentioned as one place it drives me insane!! You wouldn’t mention they’re going to Asia or Europe without being more specific. I’m pretty sure this is one reason most black africans are so fearful of “america” because they know nothing about it.

Sounds like your PCP is a “family medicine” PCP. 

I do if it’s in small pieces.

My trunk’s got two blankets, a sleeping bag, a high-visibility tent, a nalgene full of water, a lifestraw, firestarting equipment, an emergency flashlight with USB charger, large battery, first aid kit, utility knife, hand-chainsaw, a credit card, a krugerrand, a copy of my birth certificate (these last three hidden…

Let me offer a different point of view. As a thought experiment, say 30% of hiring managers like a creative resume, 20% like a headshot, and 10% like a thank-you note. If a hiring manager likes these things, and you do them, you’ll be hired. Equal numbers of hiring managers hate these three things, and any one of…

Your alarm would go off when your car finished charging.

Beth, you’re still stewing on this hard enough a *month* later to make a burner account?

No need to “check the reviews” when you’re working with electricity. Most humans can generate like 15 watts with a hand crank, after energy loss due to mechanical-energy conversion. Watts are amps*volts, so that’s 3 amps @ 5v. The vast majority of hi-powered USB hardware is rated to 2.4 Amps, so let’s assume that the…

I wouldn’t say it’s “easy.” You’d have to be monumentally negligent, not open windows or crack the garage door, have a car without a catalytic converter, and sit in your car texting for like three hours, ignoring the headache that starts about 90 minutes in and slowly continues to get worse until you lose…

“In a pinch it’s easier, and cheaper, to acquire a car charger and a battery than to acquire a car to go with it.”

I drained my car battery in 30 minutes last month with it running nothing but a Raspberry Pi and a 5" LCD. So yes, you can do this, but you might be surprised how much power your “accessories” draw. Be sure your headlights are off if you do this :)

Hold the phone, beth (pun intended). If you have a car charger, you probably have a car, and it probably has some gasoline. Just go sit in the car and charge. Putting 9V into a 12V->5V regulator is probably always OK, but not definitely always, and if you wire this backwards or short your battery you could easily be…
