Also from Ender’s time in Battle School, the lesson that you should focus on your actual goals instead of what you *think* your goals should be. I doesn’t matter if the entire enemy team is untouched and most of your side is frozen, if you get someone through their gate you still win.

I have two wireless charging pads - one at home and one in the office. They were a couple of bucks more than a high speed charger; not enough to make a difference. They sit right in the spot where I normally put my phone down anyway. They’re even attractive, and blend into the decor much better than wires running all…

Great notions, Dude, but I can tell that people who talk this way have never experienced true poverty. Really being poor isn’t about misappropriating your money on wants instead of needs. Real life poor people are struggling trying to figure out which needs they can put off until next month in order to keep other…

This implies that you already have savings to put toward a car, and that you’re not already working during school to pay for housing, food, and other necessities.

Also, a “cheap” car isn’t saving you anything if it’s not reliable - you’ll easily put more in to keeping it repaired and drivable than you would to get a…

The expediter service was also useful for reviewing my entries on a slightly confusing, multi-page visa application and advising me on what items were important as well as what certain under-defined fields were actually asking for.

> this tool is less worthwhile than a port scanner.

Good point, especially in cold weather. Wool goes on the outside! It doesn’t wick (the individual fibers are very water resistant), but it does insulate even when wet and it dries quickly.

The king is absolutely worth it. Nothing stops you from cuddling together in the middle when you want to, but the extra space is there when you don’t.

Thank you. I wondered why such a common design was being treated like it was new and revolutionary.

03JUN2014 is also codified Good Documentation Practice (GDP) for a number of industries where accurate record-keeping is critical.

The NATO alphabet is great for communicating clearly with people who are trained in it, but if the person on the other end of the phone has a different background it can come off as confusing and unnecessarilly aggressive. “Apple/Boy/Cat/Dog” et al has the advantage of being just as clear to communicate, and using…

Although, sometimes throwing quarters at your coworkers until they go away and stop distracting you does get results.

Also, the child predator bit is a reference to rumors regarding Scientology’s founder.

You said it, brother. It’s all about that sweet, sweet Supplier Rating.

Strange that there seems to be a big gap in age - I see a bit cluster of responses for JFK/RFK & the Cuban Missile Crisis, and not much between that and the ‘80s.

My favorite is https://mynoise.net. I use it daily at work.

Slightly insider information: Most major grocery stores contract with a small industry of partners who help them develop, produce or obtain, and market their store brand products to specifically compete with top selling name brand counterparts.
