A depressing reality to this question is to just look at the current crop of billionaires. None of them need money, yet many of them spend their time pursuing more. I know all of u…

Is there a functional reason for why toilet lids do not close in an air-tight fashion? If there were no openings for the particles to escape through, it seems like it would make cl…

My daughter (14) is currently going through this scenario. She was in a Montessori school from pre-school through 8th grade. The school she went to did not offer 9-12 so we had to …

It's hard to see, but I think Java and .NET are linked to the "Other Options" box in the chart.

The same thought came to my mind. When wearing my polarized sunglasses, sometimes the screens on gas station pumps will be unreadable. However, if I rotate my head slightly one way…

I did something similar in college. A company paid cash for installing software that displayed ads on the bottom of your monitor. It qualified your ad viewing activity based on mou…

You summed up my feelings perfectly. So many notable moments in my life played out over AIM conversations, especially discussions with my girlfriend (now wife) when we were geograp…

This sounds very similar to the ideas in stoicism. Your feelings are your own creation and subsequently completely within your control. If you are feeling bad about something, it's…

forgue@gmail.com Thank you!

It seems to me that you could just put some kind of sensor on the inside of the gas pump access door that notifies someone as soon as the door is opened. If you know there is a mai…

In this case, "visual" is just a wall of text presented with some extra styling. "While you may be able to avoid & slip under the radar of a local Intrusion Detection System, it is…

I've read somewhere that it won't work if there are multiple VirtualHost blocks in the same file. Allegedly if you separate each vhost config into it's own file, it will start work…

IMHO, niche sub-reddits are really where Reddit shines. I can't even remember the last time I intentionally visited /r/all. Topic-specific sub-reddits are my go-to source for unbia…

Just got this setup on our Slack channel. The setup was a really pleasant experience. Well done!

Spot on. Last year I decided to take up lock picking as a casual hobby. After reading up on the process and practicing on some old locks I had laying around, I decided to try to pi…

Me too!

I agree that these resolution jumps aren't overly relevant for casual TV viewing. The increased resolutions are important, however, for the success of VR headsets where the display…

"Thankfully, this is somewhat rare, though it does happen fairly often." Wait, what?

So, whereas a lot of people masquerade their spirits within soda cans, Zhukov was masquerading his soda as vodka. I love it!

I love that term. You described exactly how I work: take an existing block of code, break it apart until I fully understand every line, then reassemble to meet my needs.

I love the idea of the invitation tree. It would be interesting if the person who invited you was also able to uninvite you in the event that you begin to reflect poorly on them. T…

I would very much appreciate an invite as well. Adding my request to the list. Email: http://scr.im/32ux Thanks!

There is a third-party service called GroupTweet that has been doing something similar for years... http://www.grouptweet.com Curious how this will affect their service.

Presumably this would be 11 pounds on top of the existing load out, in which case 11 extra pounds wouldn't be a trivial amount. Probably subjective though.
