Your premise is faulty. These structures do not exclude certain types of people, they exclude certain behaviors by any type of person.

Always good to know your rights, and certainly, you should only do what you’re comfortable doing. That being said, you probably want to at least figure out why they’re there, rather than just ignore them. Last time a cop knocked on my door, it was because a DUI plowed into my parked car. Also, police may show up if…

Hey! A life hack! I remember when this site had these!

I have no doubt that this is sometimes true. However, I work in the aerospace industry as a scientist, and in my division of ~300 people, 70% have Ph.D.s. People get on juries all the time around here.

Ultimately, there’s no software that can take the place of raising a child who respects the limits you set.

This supports the subway guy from Community analogy. He was replaced when he started behaving outside his assigned character. This Jake must have some something to upset the State Farm executives, who had him replaced.

My Grandpa had really good advice: “Don’t say ‘no’ unless you have a good reason.” Saying “Because I said so” or “Because I’m the mom/dad/parent/adult” just teaches a kid that we don’t really know what we’re talking about. Not that giving them an articulate reason will magically make them obey, but over time it…

I vote they release the source code so we can all see for ourselves!

Also: LOOM! This is a fantastic game. In fact, if you’re playing the above-mentioned Monkey Island, there’s an enthusiastic pirate in a tavern who will jump at the chance to tell you all about how great it is!

Duo, as the name implies, is only for two people. Although the headline doesn’t mention it, the article is listing alternatives for GROUP video chats.

They can both be saints, you know.

The ‘evil king in Disney’s Robin Hood’? Do you mean Prince John, who speaks with an English accent in a movie set in England, where Robin, Maid Marian, Lady Cluck, King Richard, and Hiss all speak with English accents as well? (That’s 3 good guys and 3 bad guys, if you’re keeping score)

“It’s a hamburger made out of meat on a bun with nothing. Add ketchup if you want. I couldn’t care less.”

I was on SNAP for about a year after graduating with a PhD, because I couldn’t get a job. I did work as a substitute teacher during that time. It was an excellent program that was a great help to my family, and I’m sure is to many others.

You could cut the paper to size beforehand, then roll it into a paper towel (or tp) tube to keep it nice while travelling. If you bring the gifts in a carry-on, you could then wrap them at your gate while waiting for your flight to board.

For a stripped-down, barebones tracker with a beautiful native interface, try Twee (Android). Personally, I don’t need all that other stuff, just which episodes I’ve watched.

No need. Although many guns operate underwater, their effective range will be less than 10 feet. See Mythbusters episode 34: Bulletproof Water.

Ancestry.com is connected to the Mormon church only through the sharing of genealogical databases between the two.

CopyMeThat was just mentioned on here a few days ago. No love anymore? I find it way better than PepperPlate.

Awesome! My wife and I switched over to this when ZipList disappeared, and we love it. My only complaint is that their Android “app” doesn’t have a native interface, which makes it run slow and choppy. Oh, and ZipList’s ability to order categories in your shopping list to match your store layout was really cool. I…
