I drive a Mini. I frequently notice how the hoods of these trucks are taller than my entire car.

The really stupid thing about the light rail system, at least in the east valley, is that they could have run a line right up the middle of the 101 from South Chandler to North Sco…

Did they ever fix the problems with Dependabot and forks of repos using it? That's what turned us off from using it.

I work on an open-source program full-time, being paid to work on it by a company that makes a commercial product overlaid on top of it. I don't feel like the company making a prod…

I got an email from an AWS recruiter recently with the subject "Join the AWS family yes or no?". My first reaction was to think "good god this feels like someone just passed me a n…

Steelcase Leap v2 with a headrest. I bought it new, since finding a refurb one with a headrest is really difficult. My company gave us a WFH-office-setup stipend at the start of CO…

My wife and I maintain that fixed bed times are still one of the best parenting decisions we ever made. They're getting a little later as our kids get older, but we can definitely …

> I've seen people talk about girls on OF making hundreds of thousands of dollars a month and while I'm sure some are, I wish people would understand how few are actually making th…

I had nearly the same reaction to the GoFundMe page, one that I'm sure this person has uttered in his lifetime repeatedly: "maybe they should just pull themselves up by their boots…

Another comment I saw elsewhere said that the Elite league he plays in regularly is full of very good amateur/ex-pro players as well. It's not like they picked up a guy off the str…

It's mostly people who don't have kids/old people who vote with the mentality of "I don't have kids in school, why should I pay for other people's kids to go?"

I was prescribed tetracycline for my acne when I was in my late teens as well. It gave me a terrible sore throat (sharp stabbing kind of pain) so I stopped taking it. I've always t…

From the article: Each of the new parts is a quad-core design using HyperThreading, with Intel’s HD 630 GT2 graphics as the traditional ‘integrated’ low power graphics (iGPU) for v…

It doesn't, and that's why a large majority of economists were wholly against it.

Most kids can/do play a single sport year-round. Yes football is primarily in the summer/fall, but there are spring leagues for those kids who want to play. Same thing with basebal…

I bought one of these https://www.ospreypacks.com/us/en/product/comet-new-for-fall... a couple years ago as a convention backpack after being disappointed carrying my TB2 messenger…

Except that there's really nothing wrong with Common Core and if you talk to most teachers they're for it (disclaimer: my wife, sister, and sister-in-law are all teachers, and my p…

Common Core doesn't really have much to do with the glut of standardized testing. Common Core is more about setting a guideline for lesson planning, allowing teachers across the co…

I imagine that in combat (as bows were used when these techniques were "lost") you didn't have to be bullseye-accurate. Close to where you were aiming is often good enough.

Does it also take into account that charter schools have a tendency to boot out any low-performing or "behavioral problem" students after a certain date (usually right after state …

The reviews on Google Play don't look much better: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.currentc

Phoenix. Sure they have drought, but not much other weather or natural catastrophes to speak of.

I've been working on the Wheel of Time series for a while now. I just got through book 11, which means I'm out of the books that Robert Jordan wrote and into the home stretch of bo…
