Ditto; when I first tried it it seemed like the application wouldn’t even run.

It really sounds different to American ears, so good summary. I’m an American who lived in Canada then moved back to the states for College, and I realized that when I was telling stories of summers saying things like “we woke up, hungover, and got in Steve’s car and drove to Carl’s cottage, then on to Mike’s because…

This isn’t about meals. These things are PERFECT if you have dips/chili, etc. that you want to make warm or keep warm, especially at a party. Way more practical than little steno cans, and you avoid having open flames, which, depending on the presence of booze/kids/pets at a social gathering can be a huge plus.

They’re…

The procurement section was at the bottom of the mid-2000s schedule but is at the TOP of the 2014 schedule. “Development” has been significantly simplified in this one. In short, whoever put this slide together at Lockheed was a genius, because they’ve done everything possible to make it hard to compare the 10 year…

Usually, stains are caused by perspiration effectively “pushing off” the antiperspirant and it getting lodged into your clothes. I switched from using antiperspirant to the Old Spice deodorant, and I’ve got shirts that are 3 years old with no stains.

This may also be me imagining it, but I think that I sweat less with…

If your pint glass (or whatever) at the same place is being filled with lines that aren’t cleaned, then you’ve got the same problem, though. And your point about ‘periods of time’ is key.

The way a beer is poured out of a keg often makes it taste different than even using good glassware and opening a bottle, and a…

Although this is good information to know, unfortunately, if it’s down to you and 1-3 other candidates, and you decline to answer something illegal and the other candidates don’t, you won’t land the job. As you noted, there’s also a TON of ways of getting candidates to disclose information that they can’t legally ask…

Flash at sporting events is great, it means for those of us watching TV it looks like the background is sparkling magically whenever something memorable happens. And in exchange the people who paid $200 a ticket to see it in person get a nice, deep black photo with maybe a couple colored smudges as a momento.

I used a similar trick with “never” items. It turned out it wasn’t “never” but really, “not for the next couple years” and it helped me. My “never” items were things that I enjoyed, but didn’t LOVE (as in, I didn’t have a huge emotional attachment) that were easy to get and in the end didn’t give me pleasure to…

.... can we talk before the start of the next season? You apparently have the prediction skills of a wizard.

Exactly. I think that the numbers I've seen tend to suggest a maximum of about 80% - that's 80% of what goes through OUT OF your converter - making it through to the phone. So a 5000mAh charger would only be able to give your phone as much juice as 4000mAh.

The downside is that Qi is less efficient at moving juice from the battery to the phone than a wire. And you'd have to make sure that your phone and battery pack were properly aligned - so just throwing them in the same bag won't do.

I suspect the problem is that this didn't get through the right people at McDonald's PR Department. I don't think they've had a corporate presence at SXSW before. Someone (junior) probably brought it up and convinced someone (middle manager) who had some money in some budget to do it. But the money wasn't enough to…

I somehow feel that I can't be the only person who thinks this way, but I never hear this line of argument said out loud, so here's trying it on: The reason hitting your children is wrong isn't because it causes them pain, it's because physical trauma is a form of emotional abuse.

There's growing evidence that a calorie isn't a calorie isn't a calorie. Which makes sense from a physiological standpoint, since the way your body gets energy from food is radically different from the way that energy is released by breaking chemical bonds in a lab.

I feel like there's something I don't get with desk lamps. I've bought a couple over the years, and they've both been used lightly before moving to storage/being given away

The other benefit to the 'Weekenders' is they use the easy-to-change NATO strap (one single piece of material around the back, no pins, unlike dressier watches where a jeweler's toolkit really is necessary to change the strap).

Yeah, because people never have times where they're sick and get diarrhea or other problems. That's the thing; our dog had a stomach bug last year and it was hard on all of us. I was on the verge of buying a Roomba then decided that it wasn't worth it.

Yeah, but should there be? From most major airports, you've got a number of options to get out: Public transit, hotel/private shuttle, taxi, or friend/family pickup. All except transit use the same highways, and all except transit/pickup pay the livery tax. Highway access roads are expensive to make and maintain, and…

Clearly, this person has issues. Whether that's just from too long dating online (and having to deal with the primordial ooze that was somehow able to create an dating account), or from something going on, I'm not sure.
