Netflix + MakeMKV + Patience = anything you want and you’re still technically paying for content you could re-rent infinite times.

We got married early on, so most of our friends were not married. We decided early on, that there would be no +1's for people who would know plenty of other people there. If you were dating someone and we knew about it, we made sure to invite both people separately. Our single friends on the other hand, had to be…

Tyler Durden?

All of this is good, but I feel like first and foremost you should rule out the external. People often identify themselves through what they do. In small talk we refer to people by their names and what they do at their jobs. It becomes apart of our identity. When however we are unsatisfied it can manifest in our other…

Sure, if you’re familiar enough with the alphabet. But that’s a lot of work to do on vacation!

When I travel abroad I like to disconnect from my phone, so I never use data. Instead I plan ahead and pretend it’s 2003. The internet exists, but I don’t have it in my pocket. Knowing your route to your hotel is something you can do before departure. You can also study a map of the area you’re going to be in. This…

These lids are the worst, they always crack. I prefer the Rubbermaid easy find lids. The problem is that these Pyrex bowls are really nice. If only we could get the quality of Pyrex glass bowls with Rubbermaid lids!

Because they come from the "bread basket" of the 7 kingdoms, which as it happens was untouched by the war of 5 kings. Basically Kings Landing would have starved a long time ago if the food wasn't coming up from the Tyrell's lands. I always forget how much the show skips from the books.

Great read, especially if you read Arnold's responses in his voice.

For years now I've been thinking that they should just pick the best location for the sport. Modern media can make it seem like one big global event. As it is some olympic villages are hours away from where the competition takes place. For example, there could be permanent structures in the Alps for skiing, LA could…

Yes, that too, but those are hard to come by and you'll have to sometimes wait to qualify. Many of my classmates worked for one of three or four large employers in the area that did this.

Yes, especially in sciences, that's where the big grants are!

Also, on a related note. If a GA ship isn't your style and you want to work full time and go to school part time, just work for the university and get tuition remission! That paid for my wife's masters! We just had to pay tax as it was a taxable benefit where we live.

Yes, apply early, ask around. Look on the school's website to see which faculty runs the program you're interested in. We call them DGS's or Director of Graduate Studies within each department. If you can't find that person, find the Department Chair. Communicate and reach out to these people. They are in charge of…

Don't pay for it. GA positions are out there, get one! Some institutions even offer assistantships in other areas than teaching or research. These are called service GAs and they basically boil down to a 20 hour per week job. For example, mine was in IT support while getting an MBA. Here they pay about 15K and you get…

"System Idle Process seems to be using up all of my CPU! How do I get rid of it?"

Can you customize it? I like the simplicity, but kk is something I just wouldn't use. So I'd keep the k and replace kk with something like no and replace lel with yes. and I'd skip the entirety of the second page of faces.

If seltzer water is what you want, all you need is a corny keg (soda keg), fill it with water, and then carbonate it with a Co2 tank and regulator. Now add ice for a chill or put it in a kegerator and have it pour out cold. My keezer has a domestic keg, a corny keg of home brew, and a corny keg of seltzer for my wife.…

Touche! It's the answer, the problem, and the end of the conversation. Sorry, I posted without knowing. You are right.
