Well, sure, that's all true except for the fact that's completely false. Brown did not just come from robbing a convenience store (at least, that's what the convenience store owner said), go for the cop's gun (the eyewitness and physical evidence support that claim), and was shot 148 feet away (not the 30 feet away…

Then, the problem is with your state's implementation of the standards, not the standards. The standards don't tell schools HOW kids should get to the answer specifically, they say "the kid should be able to add 2+2". If the teacher teaches them a convoluted way to do that, how is that the standards fault?

First, is this REALLY an example of your second grader's math homework, or something you found on the Internet? I ask primarily because this is similar to what my first grader is learning. I've also see far too many fake CC examples.

"Rather than learn how to find the answer... we'll just do 8 more problems that…

Atheists in the Middle East who want to talk to others outside the Middle East?

I have the La Crosse, and I recommend one to everyone I meet. Since getting one of these and pairing it with a set of Eneloops, I never think about batteries anymore, ever. It even brought back to life an old set of Energizers I had almost given up on. Running them through the discharge/refresh process (which took…

I didn't find them all that more expensive, but then I haven't purchased a new set in four years, so pricing may be different now.

While I'd normally agree that significant statistics go a lot further in providing an accurate review, at the end of the day Eneloops just rock. I have two small children, and the typical 21st century host of battery-powered devices and since switching 100% to Eneloops for power I no longer think about batteries.…

Perhaps to you, but not to everyone. Remember, not everyone's had your life experiences or feels or acts like you do. I, for example, HATED the forced hugging and kissing. Good for you, though, that you're a hugger! But, you don't get to decide for the rest of us what's appropriate behavior.

Yuh-huh. And, who's to say I DIDN'T follow your advice, google what you suggested and still found you were completely wrong? Certainly not THIS guy!

Yup, and he did his job. You, however, have added nothing to the conversation except noise.

Going to have to disagree on IFTTT vs Tasker. I'm a heavy user of both, and they're not even in the same league. I would argue not even in the same class. It's like suggesting you could replace a 16' box truck with a locomotive. For a lot of folks for whom Tasker is used for basic tasks that automate their phones,…

There was a lot of explanation when they took it away. I recall getting an email or two a week before they finally shut it off. But, glad to see it back. I'd moved my Twitter stuff over to Zapier, but can now free up a couple of Zaps for other things (Zapier's a superior service, but so is the cost).

Been using Foldersync for the last few years for the same purpose, but it's only a small part of its usefulness. It's also my file manager for both local and cloud (with syncs setup to backup my phone to the cloud). Tasker integration means my files are moved how I want, and under whatever conditions I want. Best…

Haven't used Handcent since I installed it on my jailbroken iPhone 3G. It was a pretty good app, but it looks like it's gotten better since moving to Android. That being said, going to have to wait to try it out as they don't have a tablet version. I've been using mySMS for the last couple of years primarily for…

Yeah, most of us are more concerned with functionality than how a product looks. How it looks is never even taken into consideration with me.

"In the weeds". The way it was explained to me, and I still don't know why it would've made the transition: imagine a small motorboat traveling down a river, and it getting caught up in the brush to the sides of the river and getting caught up in there and unable to travel further until it got some assistance.

I would prefer my Personnel (what we call it here. They're people, not resources.) people actually had the capability to review the resumes and judge them on their content, rather than how they're formatted.

Would I accept one for my PC repair business? Absolutely, and probably faster than one that wasn't. Why? …

Agreed. Travelling now is so much better because of Yelp. The kinds of issues I see people complaining about I honestly have never seen.

As other's have pointed out: avoid debt would be first, most especially the student loans. But, beyond that, I'd insist they start on the 401k a whole lot earlier. When I first started, I was amazed when I did the math and figured out that for $150/month that came out of my actual paycheck, $450 was going into the…

Honestly asking: have you ever met anyone who expressed concern for others that WASN'T a con man?
