I think one place internet advice columns fail is addressing only the question asked, and only the person asking it. It’s easy to forget that a relationship is two people, and both of them matter. So the advice has to address them both, even if one “isn’t in the room” so to speak. And we have to remember that whenever…

Alternative viewpoint: movies suck, trying to pack proper plotting and character development into two hours is stupid.

On the other hand, it's possible that you are a spam bot, and everything you say is a lie. 

The electricity all comes from the same place, it doesn't matter if it's an outlet they put next to a chair, or one on a random wall. It's the same thing. All the customers have the right to use the electricity. Now sure, if someone comes up and days "hey, I gotta plug in a vacuum here" then the guy needs to move. But…

Did he not have a flight? This doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. The electricity at an airport is there for customers to use. If you are stuck there, you get to keep using it longer. Did he just walk into the airport and plug in and not have a flight he was waiting for? I’m confused.

It’s a restaurant, it’s a rip off. If you wanted to save money, you would have eaten at home. It’s stupid to spend more than you want just to get a better price per ounce. Smaller quantities of anything always cost more per unit, but if all you want is one glass, there is no reason to buy a bottle, you still end up…

Yeah, but that was slightly tedious. This still sorta sucks for going from mobile to desktop, but the desktop-to-mobile is much simpler than using history.

That’s one of those point of diminishing returns things though. The situations in which N body physics would make a difference are far and few between, but the situations in which running that math all the time would be a waste of resources are... well basically perpetual. It would be super cool, to be sure, but not…

My guess is that, with the right modules, they might become self sufficient. But at first, you likely will need to keep them properly supplied. Later on, I expect you can mine resources, grow food, create water, etc.

There are a few key things that separate a sequel from a “spiritual successor” or a game “inspired by” another- and the biggest one is, in fact, owning the right to use all the same names that the original used, and to copy literally any aspect of the original without being called a copy cat, or getting sued.

What I will say is that if you want to do the long drive as a getaway and see some sights with your new car, that’s worth it.

Calm down.

Write it all, and then cut. If you want three pages, write five, and trim the fat. You end up with a more concise and readable piece, but sometimes we need that extra stuff to get our minds to do the right thinking. We need to introduce the reader with all the details so that we as writers can feel like we can move…

More of a “write the article, not the story of how you wrote the article” issue. If it’s a personal blog, sure, it’s a story about the writer. But otherwise, the writer should try to keep themselves out of it as much as possible. An anecdote here or there is fine, though telling an anecdote received from someone else…

The only reason to cook a whole chicken all in one go, is if it’s a presentation piece. But if your primary concern is a to set a whole bird in the middle of the table, you will have to sacrifice some level of perfection in the cooking of the meat.

What? Using a modern sophisticated kitchen appliance for something? Does this look like Gizmodo to you???

Yeah, when I first learned this my mind was totally blown.

Or, idk, Sous Vide.

Is it really terrible that (as someone in the US) I find some amount of comfort knowing we aren’t the only country that is completely screwing the pooch right now?

Well, you could always go to Gawker for the political stories...
