    Yes! Many people think they shouldn't exercise their back because it already hurts and they don't want to upset it any further. In reality, a lot of back pain comes from having a w…

    As someone who does a fair amount of scraping at his job, I'd like to hear what you have to say regarding both questions :)

    There's also Logbar, which I hear is absolutely horrible. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1761670738/ring-shortcu...

    Tutorials that actually validate whether they currently work. One use case would be tutorials on deploying to IAAS/PAAS providers. Deploying always seems to be the hard part after …

    This. Plus, those couple meters between the deck and the support equipment can mean a lot when you're doing a hoverslam.

    What is the cost/technical feasibility of SpaceX being able to broadcast this landing live? The barge will be miles out to sea where there are no cell towers, so how difficult woul…

    Because 2/3 of our GDP is made up of consumer spending. By making your cash worth less tomorrow than it's worth today it incentivizes us to spend. If we don't spend our money the e…

    Because all the Fed can do is issue/buy back treasuries (and MBS since Bernanke), as well as act as a lender of last resort. Banks are the ones who hold the vast majority of treasu…

    This is amazing. It's hard to believe someone is capable of being that dedicated to something they've never really done before. I could understand how an amateur golfer who is in l…

    Am I the only person who thinks most grammatical rules are complete crap? Everyone has their own writing style, which is what makes reading works by different authors so enjoyable.…

    A quicker way to do this would be to take a container full of 1024 coins and dump them onto the ground so they're spread out. Put all the coins that landed heads up back into the j…

    Pennies do have their place though. As much as I dislike carrying them around, imagine not being able to divide up money past the 5 cent barrier. Every store would have to change t…

    If the operation was cheap enough, I'm betting the younger generation will use it as an alternative to condoms, then get it reversed when they're ready. I'd get it done as soon as …

    I think for most people it's about pregnancy prevention and not STD prevention. Ask any college kid why he wears a condom, he'll tell you it's because he doesn't want kids right no…

    No, I'm not suggesting that at all, merely stating an observation. As long as people know the operation doesn't protect you from contracting STD's, that's good enough for me. It's …

    I would sign up for this procedure in a heartbeat, but it still doesn't get around the (albeit not perfect) STD protection condoms can provide. If this takes off, people probably w…

    My mistake, the fact that they have the ability to jump over distances is even cooler. Nice touch.

    I think it's pretty cool, but might I suggest loading a fully built track as the default?
