And for those people that didnt grow up with their dad/mom/family member showing them the difference between a hammer and a screw driver what are they supposed to do? It’s one thing to fiddle with a leaky faucet or something small, but a car is something I think most people would want a professional to take care of.…

That’s the saddest bear I’ve seen since Andrew Sullivan quit blogging.

Well on the positive side Cutler wasn’t able to throw a pick 6 in this game.

You think that because we talk about it all the time. But I knew that it wasn’t common knowledge. In fact, I’m embarrassed that we didn’t write this article years ago.

There’s a lot of fakes. There are dozens of emails from the whitehouse.gov domain, which doesn’t even host emails. White House people use the “eop.gov” for their emails.

The chances of this being the case are actually relatively high, given that Washington D.C. has the highest rate of membership of any city (and correspondingly, the hack released over 15,000 .gov or .mil email addresses).

I picked up a Fire 7 when had them deeply discounted not too long ago, and it’s a great device. In some ways, I like it better than our iPad mini. In most ways, it’s better than our Nook HD. But, out of all the devices we have, it has the absolute worst battery life. The thing will go from 100% charge to…

I had success with the Windows Updates solution. I had a half dozen ‘optional’ updates. And after installing them my Windows 10 is downloading.

Not that it’s terribly important, but for some cultural context: for middle-class Torontonians, going up north to cottage country is a yearly ritual in summer. If your family doesn’t have a cottage, it’s likely that you’ll know someone who does. For a lot of kids, visiting friends at their cottages represents, for…

My first thought on seeing this was “Wait, the vacuum cleaner comes with a removable hard drive?”

Yeah absolutely. I’ve been in the biz about 3 years now and witnessing the routing abuse that people inflict on beer is pretty mind blowing. I have an absolute loathing for party pumps. We have always taken our apart for a good soaking and sanitizing, but I imagine there are a lot of places that don’t. Those places…

The Amazon deal is a random third-party seller and the Groupon deal is promo code manipulation, neither has anything to do with any kind of industry happenings.

I got asked the marriage question on my last interview. The job involves a lot of travel, which I know causes strife with some of my colleagues’ spouses. So I kind of understand why this guy was asking, but still... none of his dayum business.

I just said that my husband loves the business we are in, and completely…

Your article fails to take into account the imbalance between interviewer and interviewee. You can refuse to answer whatever you want, but it will mean you’re not getting that job and there won’t be any way to prove it’s because you declined to answer an improper question.

The other part which you mention in passing is…

Note that depending on the state, recording the conversation without the other party’s consent may be illegal wiretapping. New York, for instance, is a one party consent state (i.e., if at least one person gives consent to recording a conversation — you— it’s legal), but not every state is a one party consent state.…

You do need to be careful with the state laws with those.

Yup, there’s one literally called CallRecorder. Used it when my husband’s ex-wife used to call and threaten me with physical violence.
