161% is such a BIG number though - way scarier than, you know, 13. In a city of nearly 871 thousand people, that’s nearly a 0.00015% injury rate. Scary shit!

From the article: “multiple patients told doctors they were intoxicated and not wearing a helmet”

Sure there were no electric scooters a decade ago, but since then e-scooter injuries are up infinity percent. That’s too high a number to just ignore!

Isn’t this just statistics.  Last year there were 0 scooters, so no injuries.  This year there are thousands, so the increase seems appropriate to me.  Especially considering the learning curve.

Well, that category is reserved for any coffee that is made to be drank with cream and sugar. AKA all the coffee that is in ANY chain shop. This chart refers to Third Wave coffee specifically, rather than “commodity coffee” which is the coffee sold to the masses intended for mixing with milk and sugar.

They are changing the contents of someones email without asking them first. That is pretty much the definition of malware. Also, is it even legal?

It’s find if the footer was an opt-in option, but otherwise you’re advertising for the program without your consent (unless you knew these settings were on by default and are okay with it). The footer also looks unprofessional.

I’m not sure there’s any factual evidence to support we have only so much willpower per day. In fact, I’m inclined to think the more we exercise our willpower, the more of it we have.

... and smells terrible?

Hey, we looked like douchebags far before these two douchebags entered the scene.

I forget who said it and I’m paraphrasing but....

I think this one is one of the toughest to learn, because often most people only figure out through mistakes that hurt people, and being hurt often causes people to make worse decisions. It's also one of the tougher things to teach because nothing's universal. My girlfriend and I react very differently to certain…

Emotional intelligence. Being able to communicate exactly how I feel instead of sticking my head in the sand.

As I understand it, good design and user friendliness (and therefore improved function) incorporates aesthetics (which can be cultural), and therefore aren't mutually exclusive.

I hope you like the equine form, because once the internet finds your upload site, you are going to see a whole lot of it.

It sounds great but the potential security issues do worry me.

No need to pay, in my opinion. The free registration should be fine.

That, friend, is a question better left to the lazy Macgyver in all of us. You know your work, you just need to be creative and you should hopefully be able to find a little nook somewhere quiet. Having a car makes it easy.
