In so far as it's an issue, it's a question of whether universities should be paying for this sort of thing, not whether he deserves to get paid.

Sunrise calendar for iOS is “bringing back clippy”

Yeahhh this is really crucial for religous nutjobs who like to yell "WHAT IF YOUR MOM ABORTED YOU". Um, duh, I wouldn't be around to care. So literally nothing bad would've happened. The end. How do religious people not grasp that simple concept?

That’s not really an emergency fund. Now I don’t want to split hairs but what you described is savings to live on in the case of catastrophe.

You can’t have an iPad mini with a windows computer? Since when? You know they sync just fine. You just stop the dumb Apple stuff from loading on boot (via msconfig), and your computer will run fine too.

Wow, just wow. So because the mathematics curriculum of his CS education doesn’t require a Ti-89 his education is invalid in your eyes? You’re just ripping on his loadout and education for no proper reason whatsoever.

You can’t take your laptop into an exam

It's going to be Sex vs Netflix, and Netflix will win. And I will cry, because sex is clearly superior.

Don't piss us off by demanding gifts of such specificity and risk getting nothing and an empty venue.

Or, if you have a wedding site, maybe give that link for all and sundry info, and put the registry on the site? Seems a happy medium AND 21st century. ;p

I have zero issue with honeyfunds. I have some issues with people who ONLY have honeyfunds, because it can be limiting/embarrassing for people who don't have big gift budgets who still want to contribute something nice. And I have HUGE issues with people who say "pay for my honeymoon or don't come to my wedding"…

You will be glad you registered somewhere. People who like to give cash/checks will go that route, but there are people who insist on giving an actual THING. Your registry exists to help these people out...otherwise you are going to spend a lot of time returning multiples of the same thing, etc.

Please say it. I don't know if we agree, but I for some reason, have an issue with honeyfunds. I'm 35. It's hard for me to articulate. Maybe its becausethey are asking for cash, and I feel like that's tacky? Maybe its because if someone doesn't have a lot of money they can give a physical gift that is still nice,…

"Word of mouth" is certainly different these days, and I count Google as "word of mouth." It really isn't hard. The only place it's appropriate is on an insert, in a shower invitation, if she's not throwing it herself.

The Honeyfund is their gift. Any couple who tries to tell you otherwise is a greedy exception. Most people use it because they have enough stuff and would prefer to have a honeymoon, deposit on a house. Whatever.

Fair enough. Apologies if I unfairly maligned you there.

Sorry, I didn't mean to cause personal offense—truly. It's not my rule, it's the standard across etiquette experts and advice. I am all for embracing the 20th century, and think registries are a great way to let people know what a couple is in need of/will use, but I am also a fan of basic etiquette, especially when…

I realize it's a whole new day, I am a dinosaur, whatevs, but here's the thing: Nobody consults Emily Post anymore for correct social behavior, but it is STILL technically not okay to put one's registry information on a shower or wedding invitation. An enclosure? Sure. On the invitation? Uh, no. We've managed to find…

Seriously. This article is grotesque.

If they registered for it, I'll buy it. Or I'll send a check, depending on the couple. But registering for a trip crosses the line for me.
