The Minimal Mac podcast had a great tip: go through your closet once a year, and turn the hangers so that they're grabbing the pole from the back. As you pull hangers off to wear clothes, and return the clothes to the pole, you'll naturally put the hanger so it's grabbing from the front. This time next year, remove…

If you are (or become) a member of a credit union, they may offer a checking account that awards a (relatively) high interest rate should you make X POS transactions and Y ACH transactions. In my case, the account varies between 2.5 and ~3% APY on any given month. That with a smart way to organize your money (I use…

$924/year = $7392 total

IIRC, this was a whole-disk encryption, with a pretty large key space. The only way of getting any data would be to brute force the key, which isn't like the passwords for most login services, so "common password" dictionaries would be pretty useless. It would take months if not years for a cluster to crack it.

One wonders whether the amount of air in the needle cavity would be enough to oxygenate the amount of blood a syringe would draw. Of course, this could probably be mitigated by taking a large IV pull from a vein, which is what blood donations involve—blood tends to come out a pretty solid maroon in those cases, I…

What about when the range is sufficient to (as NYPD states in the last paragraph), mount the scanning tech to a van and drive down the street and scan everyone? Is it okay as long as the van is marked NYPD? Or do they need to have a megahorn warning the entire public that they are currently under surveillance? Our…

That's your argument? You're kidding, right? Should cops be allowed to walk into your house at any time? Screw the Fourth Amendment; if your house doesn't contain anything illegal, why are you complaining when they bust in without a warrant.

It actually seems like the best way, in this case. There's a good chance that people still at B of A after that movement to switch to a credit union either weren't paying attention to details of how little respect BofA shows to its customers or certain issues. Inconveniencing someone is the best way to break them out…

It sounds like putting some space between the larger and smaller bowl is to keep the oatmeal from getting its heat directly from the source (getting it instead from the water buffer), which will result in slower cooking, and probably mitigate the need to wake up 3 hours early :)

I feel like you lack a sense of dry sarcasm.

I feel like you're selling yourself short. This is an article about a brothel, after all.

You have a mouth, don't you?

As far as your first complaint about not being able to get multiple models at a time out of it: I seem to remember that always being the case when I was regularly getting Lego sets. The whole point of the pictures on the back is to encourage you to take the primary model apart and build the other stuff, then take it…

#So #now #you #want #everyone #to #always #hash #every #word #of #a #tweet #because #you #want #certain #forms #of #communication #to #standOut?

You can also google "elaborate" vs "TMI" and get a larger sample pool, with little to no loss in the signal to noise ratio. Instead, your statistical analysis is specifically excluding all of the times a person uses either term *without* a hash in front.

I do a very similar thing "on paper" in GnuCash. I don't separate the accounts at the bank because my credit union will give interest as long as you're using the account a certain amount. So in my books, I separate the single account into subaccounts. It works pretty well, though I'm currently looking to streamline…

I'm in the same boat. None of my coworkers even sit down to pay their bills—they just have autopay set up. They have no idea whether someone's raising rates on them or heck, even billing them twice. Meanwhile, I've categorized things well enough to see that I've been spending a lot more on restaurant food and gas than…

That's the intended use, and that's good, but people do often misuse them. For instance. Who will really ever want a list of all the tweets where the tag #elaborate was used? In cases where you'd want to know when people said that word, you can just search for the word itself.

I assume it was more than a solid ball—it was part of a communication satellite, so it was probably a module that was integral to the satellite's function.

Transformers is a generic word, yes. Hasbro did not sue over the first Transformer.
