"The Body Shop plans to expand the practice to all of its retail stores this summer, where it employs around 800 people, and as many as 1,000 during the holidays." Looks like they …

If every single employer has the same work conditions, then what? If the state of the industry as a whole is low pay and unpaid overtime, then it's not like a developer can just go…

HN has a dislike of one-word answers without any hard data to back them up. If fasting can be undertaken safely by an individual not in a health care setting, how? What is the mech…

Applicant side: "What's the biggest struggle that you're currently working through?" coupled with "Tell me a bit about how you're working through that struggle." I find this tells …

I used to struggle with this, but as I've gotten older I have realized that people generally like talking about things they're interested in, and you can keep conversation going by…

Exactly! So if all Chihuly does is take a crayon to a piece of paper and say "Make this thing!", but your friend and others like your friend do the heavy lifting to bring the idea …

Wow, that article led me to the artist Bob Kuster ( http://bellemeadhotglass.com/gallery/glass-chandeliers/ ), "who's making chandeliers so closely related to Chihuly's that Chihul…

Extremely well put. Part of the reason I wrote my original comment was to see what the HN collective thought about my reasoning- as I have personally struggled to think of Dale Chi…

One of the longstanding examples of this that immediately sprung to mind is Dale Chihuly ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dale_Chihuly ), the renown glass sculptor. Except Chihuly h…

With hot sauces, there's a very distinct flavor difference between Tabasco, Crystal, Frank's, etc. not to mention there's regional affiliation to what hot sauce you use. Additional…

Right, so does that mean the post-surgery care that I was recommended is on the "extremely conservative" end and your doctor was more lax, or does that mean your doctor wasn't as w…

"a reputable surgeon doesn't guarantee lack of side effects." Absolutely! Side effects are possible for anyone getting the surgery, and like I said in my parent comment (or hoped t…

"What makes a "good" doctor?" Exactly the crux of the issue- I've only been to one doctor for getting my LASIK procedure, so I'm not sure what the best combination of data points w…

I had LASIK a little over a year ago and it turned out very well for me, due in part to having a great doctor and due in large part to all of the research that I did before having …

Can't wash them in laundromats that don't allow them, and you have to have the money for the initial purchase plus the time to do the laundry. Plus you cannot use cloth diapers at …

One of the things this article doesn't touch on is the very deep roots of hog farming in rural NC and the general prevailing attitude of "This is how we've always done it and I don…

Yeah, this is some serious political opinion masquerading as journalism: Original Title: Why is liberal California the poverty capital of America? With a permanent majority in the …

The DC metro is absolutely NOT one of the best, for many reasons already explained by commenters. Many, many years of inadequate maintenance have caught up, to the point that this …

Question #2: Because they didn't spend any money buying ads, and instead sent test units out to influencers?

I live in Northern Virginia, and the statement "People who were totally banned from a road now could now use it at its busiest time" is false. People were already driving on I-66 s…

Have you had your house tested for allergens, stuff like black mold etc? And/or leaking gases like carbon monoxide, natural gas, etc?

"delicious food in small portions." Also probably homemade on the spot by someone who really knows how to make it taste amazing. A small portion of something well made, from good i…
