I think the problem is rooted deeper in the US culture, which I refer to “we” for simplicity. We don’t value education as a society. We give education lip service but not proper funding. Lack of funding means lack of appropriate compensation for teachers. People who would make excellent teachers are turned off by the…

48 which is why a full sheet of drywall spans 4 studs quite nicely. So you’d make two cuts instead of one and wind up with effectively 3 narrow sheets of drywall each spanning between two studs. It’s more work and materials but better than cutting it down the middle and having someone fall through your wall if they…

I see where you are going here but your breaks are right where your screws needs to go to hang it. You’d have to use 3x as many screws and you have more taping and mud work. I mean, it’s better than what the article is suggesting at least. 

Yes, you can even use it to style your hair.

Guess what? There’s nothing wrong with using regular soap on your face either. Also, body lotion and lip balm usually aren’t needed in general. For most people, daily application just makes your skin reliant on those products. Staying hydrated is cheaper and better for most people most of the time, even in the most…

There honestly isn’t a big difference in noise level across the entire spectrum of electric grinders from blade to top of the line burr. If you want quiet, go with a manual grinder. It takes a little extra work but gets the blood flowing even more than the coffee itself. They are relatively cheap too.

The biggest problem with blade grinders is their tendancy to make coffee “dust” which makes the coffee bitter because it essentially just disolves into the water instead of brewing. If you don’t notice a difference, there’s probably a larger variable at play. How old are your beans (biggest variable in my experience)?…

I have a really hard time agreeing with the framing of this. Single best way to improve your coffee? No way. Consistent particulate size can have a tremendous impact. You hit the law of diminishing returns very very quickly though with grinders. All things equal, a $400 grinder is not going to produce a cup of coffee…

That’s why cable companies, cell phone companies, and others like them seem like they have such poor service despite having massive user bases.

Despite this, these still end up biased towards being more favorable than other reviews.

don’t forget gluten free and local

You’d be surprised at how often a candidate will give you references that either don’t have good things to say about him/her or even worse, have nothing to say because the reference doesn’t really know the candidate. I’ve done a fair share of hiring and I really start questioning my sanity and process when that…

Major red flag with the manager and if that’s company policy, that’s an even bigger red flag about the company culture.

Let’s think about this for a moment. There are basically two ways to move gas out of the tank. You can slurp it up like a straw or you can drain it out the bottom. Given the position of the tank on most vehicles, it’s usally sucked up. Regardless, you are getting the fuel from the bottom of the tank since the “straw”…

Never said or implied it should. The two aren’t mutually exclusive. My point is the original poster said he got passed up for a promotion that he wanted because he was too successful in his current role. You said it wouldn’t be a problem if the company had just given him a raise which made a big assumption about his…

You’re making a huge assumption that the employee is content with the same responsibilities. Promotions aren’t just about pay.

if you’re drinking it after a long run, what’s the point of those low calorie versions, if you’re drinking it to replenish energy/sodium

Depends on the beer. A lot of the data suggests including protein with your recovery plan is more important than the carbs. Most beer doesn’t have a lot of protein but some do.

It could be that he watered it down for his needs and preferences.
