That is an awesome quote! Have you just been holding that in your back pocket for a day like this?

They can also be singular.

Not even kind of. I spent five years in college, because I transferred halfway through and whenever you transfer you lose at least a year of school. I bullied my way through an uncaring and at times hostile environment that took my money like it was expected that I flush it away with a smile on my face. In the end,…

In your initially email inquiry, politely ask if they would consider a discount for last minute travelers. Start your negotiating by asking for 25% off the original nightly rate and be prepared to meet in the middle.

Right? The first thing in my head when this question drops is always "because you'll pay me money? Money I will then spend on food and housing?"

Man, so true. I had a job that was great, my immediate superior was really keen on training me up to bigger and better things, everything was great.

I don't really get much of a chance to use the NFC, but so far it seems to work just fine...

I got a refurb Hot+Cold and it just never got that hot. I'm in the process of getting a replacement now, so fingers crossed it was just a bad refurb.

Maybe it's a person-by-person basis. I've set up four different fingers six times a piece and so far right thumb seems to be the only consistently working one

But how much of that was the freedom your schedule allowed? When you were a kid you COULD stay up that late, because it didn't really matter and you had long stretches of time where it wouldn't impact your schedule. Now work expects you up and clocked in by 8 EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. There's no summer break, or winter…

Yep - I was on a road trip by myself when I locked myself out of my car in downtown SF. I was in a 30 minute zone, it was the middle of the day, I was frantic - thankfully the hotel I was parked up against had a guy on the front desk that was bending over backward to help me. He let me run a search on his computer and…

But I don't live in every state! Can't you just read my mind and tell me my specific state, county, and city laws? GOD WHY IS THE INTERNET SO INCONVENIENT

Yeah, I had a friend ask me frankly and seriously what I pay a month for internet so he could figure out if he had the budget for internet and I had to throw my hands up. "It's a magic number! No, seriously, here's what I paid the past four months."

Oh what?! That's witchcraft!

Squishy indeed John, squishy indeed...

This. I had one, but I bumped the RAM to 8 GB post-purchase (this is one of the few ultrabooks you can actually do that with), and I took it around the world with me. It was the best thing ever - nice and light, incredible battery life (so I didn't have to sweat the next time I'd get access to an outlet), pretty much…

And the worst part is it's reflexive - if you do check your phone regularly you'll find yourself doing it whether you meant to or not. But if you're up for some fun you can play a little game - I find if you're sitting at a table with a group of people and one person pulls out their phone everyone else unconsciously…
