If any Apple users are interested, OWC sells one that I have in my 2008 unibody macbook. Definitely a worthwhile upgrade.

I'm almost certain it has more than that by now. It's a static graphic, and when I donated (around the time of sentencing) it had the same figure. Even then I don't think it was exactly up-to-date.

Technically, the 1,000 years only just started - his sentence was life + 1,000 years.

The name in the headline should be changed.

Just a related Prince story, touches on breakfast subjects: http://heavytable.com/whats-in-princ…

It's not healthy to ignore people who give you bad advice or criticize your medical decisions? It's not "unhealthy for your body" to reduce or eliminate your period. In many cases, it is in fact the healthiest option! Of course, the pill doesn't work for everyone. It's much healthier to menstruate every month than put…

This is a favorite of mine. I have loose sheets of this for my circa notebook, and it's absolutely perfect. I generally prefer writing on lined paper, but when I'm sketching something out this is just the right amount of guidance.

Moleskine has some options that might appeal to you. Look at their "Professional" Planners and Notebooks. Leuchtturm1917 and Rhodia should have a few things up your alley too, but I'm less familiar with those brands.

You might find this piece interesting: “He might be on the spectrum.” But what about me?

I don't know what you mean by "a SHOULD-ier job" but I find it problematic. Because you serve the greater good? Because you work harder? I'd agree with you on the former (finance is horrible! burn it down!) but unfortunately that doesn't lead to better paychecks. (You can just eat your passion for the cause!) As for…

NYC, as I assume the email writer is as well (or perhaps a similarly large metropolis)

Just out of curiosity, how much do you think an Office Manager should make? $70k isn't unusual, especially in finance.

Given what we know about this man's father, it's not hard for me to believe that his sister's life experiences might have been even more difficult than his own.

Public transit can really be a time suck. I used to live about two miles away from my job, and commute by bike was only fifteen minutes. If I had to take the subway, it involved two transfers and almost always took at least 45 minutes. Same borough! Rarely it would work out so that I made it home in 15-20, but more…

I just escaped a boss that was just like this, except he seemed to think his passive-agressive tendencies were *right*. I had the unfortunate honor of being his assistant, and any attempts to clarify like you mentioned were met with disdain.

I had a boss who had the same feelings about prospective employees. We were discussing a search and he said he wanted to get salary range from candidates right away, because there was no reason to waste time. When I suggested that we include this information with the description or just shared it outright with…

Women can also decide never to have kids, and *just like you* end up without reaping any of the benefits of your company's policy. I do not intend to have children, ever, but I fully support and advocate long, paid parental leave (even for dudes!).

Was it possibly related to Hurricane Sandy?

I appreciate it though, thanks!

Ah, thanks! I always forget about the rabbi/imam part. Most of the people I know that keep kosher have a more lax attitude about it, so if they're out of the house they just follow the rules and don't worry about the "regulations". So halal cart is always a go! You're right though, and I imagine the same is true for…
