If you find yourself using a lot of super glue this is probably a good method. If you are like me though - you need a tube a couple times a year - I find its actually simpler and about as cheap just to buy the 12 pack, and throw them away after one use. It is priced similarly to just buying a couple larger tubes, so…

Convenience.

From the "data" from this result, that seems to be a rather subjective conclusion. It would be better to say "Religious and non-religious parents screw their kids up in different ways. Religious kids will respect authority (often too much) and disapprove of homosexuality, while secular kids will end up doing more…

As a Christian, I will first say I don't doubt Atheists can and do do "good". (though I would be curious to see one try to give an absolute definition for what good is without appealing to a higher power) That said, I question why this man's work is being trumped up as something new. From what I can see, he has…

"They made a brozillion of them, you saw them in every cul-de-sac and subdivision in America for 10 years, then they all just disappeared. You'll still see its competitors from time to time—even in rust-central Pennsylvania where I'm from, a 25-year-old Chevy Lumina or Buick Park Avenue can still be heard…

If you are using the extra monitors for productivity rather than gaming (my office at work) you have a few other options:

1. If connecting more monitors than your laptop supports, add a USB display adapter. The refresh rate is lousy - you could never game on it - but video is watchable and office documents are great.

As a college professor, I wholeheartedly agree with all of these.

I think another big takeaway is to now your audience. I worked for a secular university for awhile, and now teach at a Christian university. My resume changed a lot more between those two applications than my experience did. Resumes should never contain every thing you ever did in your life, so be discerning about…

There is something to be said for windows 8.

And if you forget their name, introduce someone else to them. Most polite people will introduce themselves. I do this with my wife all the time.

I tend to take the perspective that I need to hear something negative twice before I take it too seriously. I am a professor, so next week I will get reviews from my students. By in large they are positive, but there are always a few that are negative. I make a point to read them, ask if they have valid critiques, and…

The link on your page shows $89, which I would never click on except out of curiosity... it shows up as $29.99 once you click it, but I didn't see if the promo drops it further.

USB battery packs are my favorite generic holiday gift. They're useful to literally everyone, they offer a tremendous amount of utility for a modest amount of money, and it still seems like most non-nerds aren't fully aware that they exist. If you have anyone on your shopping list that could use one, here's a great…

About where the money goes, they have one of the lowest overheads of any charitable organization, and a leader who makes less than most of their part time workers.

I am a big fan of Salvation Army. I know many do not like they include a Christian message and I respect their choice not to donate to them, but as someone who wants to see quality charitable work done with a Christian message I find them a great organization.

The other charity I support I can't actually name. They are…

Keep in mind, when they call it a sawzall, they mean it saws through all...

I can say as a STEM professor, big assignments don't work well for freshman when the goal is to learn problem solving techniques. In my junior and senior classes I often assign no homework and only give recommended problems, but I have weekly homework in freshman level courses and am seriously considering changing it…

Good point.
If your job drops you to a B and C student, it is hurting your career.
If you can find a job that is in your discipline, and do it without seeing your grades drop too much it can really round out your resume.

A critical point: don't let the few dollars you can earn today prevent you from earning far more in the future. For many students a part time job is essential, but don't lose sight of your main priority. As a professor I see students make this mistake in at least 3 main ways:

There are ladders that contort for odd configurations (like stairs). The brand little giant comes to mind, but I know there are other alternatives. Besides that, we often kept some scrap 2x4 or 2x6 pieces to elevate one foot or another until level, but ALWAYS had someone hold the ladder when we were on it if we were…
