I think if there was a rigid spec, it would work against one of the points made early on in this doc (which I think is worth taking note of): > Rule #1 is: Write them in whatever f…

Despite there being a whole bunch of implementations out there, I had also written one a while ago: https://github.com/thebrokencube/yahnes . It does need some updating, but seems …

Well, when I tried to tip, I also saw the review button and then clicked that first. I couldn't tip in the app after that.

That's definitely a legitimate model. At least my experience with Lyft was that you could either tip or review, and I don't remember seeing an option to set a tip percentage. Defin…

Sure, but depending on the pourover, you probably have ridges that are slightly less trivial to clean, at least compared to the Aeropress.

I tend to agree with you. I find that certain people I know who are extroverts always seem happy, but you spend enough time with them and get to know them, it's more or less a faca…

Normally if you follow a low-carb diet, you get your fiber from greens. I believe the statement was targeted more towards carbs like bread, pasta, rice, etc.

Why not just for amusement? Or to just see what interesting things people have come up with? Why does everything have to be "only towards this goal", what happened to just doing th…

I actually wasn't aware of that, but it makes a lot of sense and aligns with my experiences with depression/suicide a lot. The times I've felt suicidal were all when I was picking …

There's a meme with a character called "Dolan" ( http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/dolan ) which is pretty popular for reasons that probably no one can explain.

I never really thought of it that way, but I guess in that context it makes sense why that's frowned upon.

Yea I mean, I feel like when people say "google it", they're conveying that you should search the internet/research about it, not necessarily use Google for it.

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question... but what's wrong with "googling it"? I can see the flipside to most of the points made, but I don't understand this one.

Thank you for sharing this link, this actually helps explain a lot of stuff I've been wondering about for a while.

I think most of us realize that the petitions are pointless (though then again, it takes like 3 seconds to sign it so enough people do it), but how would you suggest we fix this pr…
