@scarr: I agree. Just the fact that a candidate has read up on the company and has a broad idea of our market or strategy gives him or her the advantage. Trying to show brilliant insights into what we should be doing would be risky.

@bobkoure: Meyer lemons are common in upscale markets in urban Northern California, but tend to be seasonal. Spring and fall, I think.

@dwight-schrute: Good points, well said.

This is so true. As a hiring manager, it is amazing how few people know anything about the company.

Unfortunately, I'm a good 200 hours from being 20 minutes away from a clean house.

@Fiona Conn: Damn, I just threw out all my dirty harmonicas.

@Firesphere: They're not terribly expensive here, just not a regular part of most Americans' cuisine.

@bobkoure: I refined a lemon sorbet recipe. I think it's perfect (he said, feigning humility). :)

@Shadow-Lurker: "Does this insomnia make my butt look big?"

@cycoivan: It's more than just the additional 30 minutes a day you have when you can be snacking. Sleep deprivation seems to trigger an ugly metabolic cycle. People with untreated apnea have much higher incidence of obesity, diabetes, heart disease. And obesity makes the apnea worse. It's all interrelated.

Gah!!

OK, if this sounds like — well, like something they serve on Fridays in the school cafeteria — you could switch from bread to eggs and make a frittata. Or, make like an American and throw it out and get new food.

@JD: Funny, I had a first-take misread, too. Thought it said "Turn Your Garbage-Bound Leftovers into a Parade." That will cause some nightmares.

@Lord_Data: Chard (aka Swiss Chard) is in the cabbage family, like kale, broccoli, cauliflower. It has a white stalk and green leaves.

This is great. Not a day goes by at the office that I don't think, "Boy, I sure wish I had a crossbow."

You mean I don't get ten times the credit for feeding the dog ten times?

This seems like an odd idea to me. The iPhone hardware is elegant but competitors have better hardware features pretty much across the board. If I want to run Android software, what reason is there to run it on iPhone hardware?

@Namu: Of course!! The only things I do while driving are smoke, trim my eyebrows, and open a beer. :P

@philselmer: You can use them for coffee? That's a cool idea.
