Yes, I did read to the end. The fact that one non-essential crop is worth more monetarily than another non-essential crop is not a very good argument for either crop.

I go around NYC and Brooklyn all the time with a smartwatch. I weight 107 lbs and am a 5’2” middle aged woman, and mainly I think about necklace and purse quality, not getting too ritzy for my method of travel. I would say especially if you are new, you generally don’t want to be walking down the sidewalk starting at…

Living in New York City, I have the pleasure / displeasure of sharing our wonderful subways and buses with tourists on a daily basis. Most of them haven’t the slightest idea how to use a public transportation system. In fact, the NYC Transit System is more than likely their first encounter with public transit.

Two quick stories. Went to visit my wife at a conference in DC (when we were dating). Biggest city I lived in was Orlando. My wife lived in DC for college, lived in Mexico, she knows her way around. We had breakfast and I was going to the Smithsonian. She took me to the bus told me what to do and I got on. I was there…

The title of this posting is a little confusing, possibly it should be something like “reuse marinade from tofu recipes”.

I hire programmers - I’ll share what I look for.

My first few questions are going to be about previous projects... What OSS packages have you contributed to? Do you have any projects on GitHub? Tell me about a previous project that required a novel solution.

This is all to quantify your enthusiasm for programming. If…

As a graduate of the Bloc program, I want to suggest a slight correction to your description of it. I did the program while working full-time. Bloc does offer part-time options, which means that you don’t have to invest the same number of hours per week as you would for other bootcamp programs. However, the part-time…

Maybe it’s personal preference, but I would rather sit in traffic than merge in an out two or three extra times. And I hate sitting in traffic.

I’m SO jealous of a buddy of mine; he got a basic low-paying job at Bose, and then got transferred somehow to their development team and they’re teaching him coding in multiple languages from scratch. He’s making apps and stuff already, and only started with that dept a few months ago. I think that’s the best way to…

I have Waze on my phone but I don’t really use it for two main reasons:

Former dry cleaning employee here. There's a legit reason that women's shirts cost more than a men's shirts. Men's dress shirts are pressed automagically in neat machines like this, which is why they can be cleaned and pressed relatively inexpensively (A good operator can press >100 shirts an hour). The shape of a…

I was talking to a friend about this recently when we found ourselves comparing breakfast smoothies. She was complaining that she always needed a snack before lunch despite drinking a "huge" smoothy. Turns out all she had in it was fruit (berries, apple, orange, maybe half a banana), juice, and maybe a little fat free…

It's incredibly unfair to lump car repair in with products that are literally geared towards women. (Clothing made of various fabrics that may require special care, toiletries that incorporate formulas or whathaveyou that appeal to women)

Agreed. After doing Whole30, I am continuing to use MyFitnessPal and really monitor my caloric intake. Last night I felt like I splurged so much, but in reality this was my meal:

While most of the examples might be true. I had a brief year I ran a dry cleaner operation. The reason that woman's shirts where more expensive for us was b/c the shirt presses where designed for men's dress shirts. The cut of a woman would not fit into the press so they were always done by hand. We always lost money…

Decision fatigue is also a killer when choosing a good meal — in addition to not labelling food as "evil" or bad, you also need to limit your choices while shooting for your macro nutrients. I stick to my go-to breakfast daily (2 eggs, and 1 cup of my favorite frozen veggies). I also have a dinner standby (2 cup…

My issues with the matching is that it’s an additional cost to your friends and family. I also have issues with asking women to buy matching dresses that they’ll never wear again. I realize that, aside from bitching on the interwebs, that there’s remarkably little I can do about it, aside from ensuring that my own…

Zing! But fo reals tho...just get a black tux. Tuxes are black.

My brother was in a wedding where they were just asked to wear black suits and x color shirt/tie. Just out of college, they spent as much or only marginally more to buy the suit than to rent a tacky tux and then they had it for use in the real world. I really liked that idea.

Good idea for people who carry purses or backpacks. Like I wouldn’t just stick this in my jeans, but keeping it inside a zippered pocket to hold emergency cash sounds pretty solid. Or even in the car, in the glove compartment.
