There’s a sensor underneath the home button to distinguish between a touch and an actual press.

It’s just “MacBook,” not “MacBook Air.”

Desktop + Chromebook, best of both worlds.

Plenty of cars already do this, including my after-market car stereo with a standard USB-Lightning cable plugged into my iPhone.

It’s a figure of speech. No one is saying you should actually throw away your old charging bricks.

“Conditional support” seems like a pretty good term, kind of similar in principle to “trust but verify.” If I’m paying for my child’s tuition and room & board, I expect them to stay away from illegal drugs and alcohol, not skip classes to go party, and would prefer them not to drop out because they didn’t think

If someone comes to visit and stays at my place, I’m happy to have them but there is the expectation that they follow the rules of the house, including things about drugs, alcohol, inviting other people over, etc. Above all I expect them to respect me and my house, and not take advantage of my generosity.

I guess we just have a fundamental disagreement on you saying “your job is done, it’s time for the parent to go away now” when dropping off their kid for their first day at college. In my experience there is still plenty of parenting that should be done after that point, and most new freshmen have a different mindset

In my opinion, answering “I’m not sure how that’s any of your business” is much more obnoxious than asking any of these questions in the first place. This is a parent and a child, it’s a different relationship than the “friend/relative/peer” that you mention later, and parents SHOULD be asking personal questions. It’s

I really don’t understand your thought process. You say “if it’s outside your comfort zone, then don’t pay.” But if they don’t ASK the question in the first place how will they make that decision? These are all good basic questions to make sure that the parent and child are on the same page when it comes to college,

The questions outlined in this post essentially ARE the “business arrangements...negotiated on a case by case basis” that you say the parent and child should be doing.

Sorry, but if the parent is still helping to pay for things and giving the student a free place to stay over college breaks, then that student is not a “full fledged adult now.” The child should still be respecting their parents’ opinions and wishes in some regards.

Front pockets, then.

Four items, four pockets in normal shorts. What’s the problem?

Or it was a conscious decision by the developers to encourage people to actually go out exploring in order to find their pokemon.

My rule about being shitty to ANYONE includes people who are “beneath” you and at the same level. It’s a better rule because it holds people up to a higher standard.

Again, I’d say the way you treat ANYONE says a lot about you as a person. Why would it be more acceptable to be a jerk to someone who isn’t serving you?
