>> Maybe we need others to get things done. Maybe the man would jumpstart his passion if someone shared his thing for restoration. I think there is a lot of truth to this actually. Admittedly I'm a little sleep deprived right now

Yeah I was wondering to what degree it is a regional thing. I'm from Australia and most people seem to mean it one way, but I've been wondering how many times I've misunderstood people online

But would you do it for 4? I thought when people said they had an X hour commute they typically meant that they traveled for X hours to work and X hours from work

Well a lot of the time when you are looking at something you are trying to diagnose some problem or another, which means you want to be 100% sure of what something is doing. Even if the function provides a good abstraction you might still w

The number of emails I get from Amazon is baffling. I never open them but I swear it seems like I get loads advertising kindle books to me, most of which aren't anything I'd read (they are books that are currently selling well, bu

What? As a resident I think they aren't doing enough. The reason we haven't had much of a problem is because we've been strict. The problems we are having in NSW that I am currently living through now are because they didn&#x

You don't have to back the project to be able to buy one though: you can preorder from the second production wave on their site currently. It isn't as if they are only selling to backers and won't produce anymore after that

Part of that might be that you lack the time or energy to properly explore new things though, and that lack of time or energy probably has something to do with getting that pay check. I mean also maybe not, but I find it hard to devote time

Oooof, that sounds painful but also a pretty atypical experience for people not living alone. My girlfriend has a job where she's on the phone a lot, but in the other room with the door shut that isn't really a problem at all. I c

I work from my living room, my girlfriend works from the bedroom. Sure she sometimes comes out to get water or something and walks past me and into the kitchen and I can see her and hear the sink running but it isn't exactly a huge dis

Couldn't they just advertise multiple positions with different ranges? I don't really see the issue with them having to do that if it is just a matter of tweaking how many years of experience they list as required on each one alon

There are multiple issues with open balots: Firstly people will be afraid to support their opinion via voting in many cases because they will be concerned not so much with their friends, but with their employers and colleagues. In Rome only

I mean nobody should have to sell sex to survive certainly, but if I was going to be homeless otherwise I personally would rather the option at least be legal if I were to choose to take it. I can see no mechanism by which legalising sex wo

Unconditionally consent? That's insane. I have conditions on my consent every time I have sex. My consent is conditional on the fact that protection is used with my secondary partners, and with my primary partner it is conditional that

You mean people outside of Denmark. Inside of Denmark people will look at the next vaccine the government decides to go with and feel more willing to trust it precisely because their government withdrew support of the one causing clots

I mean on the one hand, yes it does. I completely agree. On the other hand.... My mother has a clotting disorder of some kind and I'm kind of terrified that means I'm more prone to it

Yeah this is like people telling me my sleep apnoea will get better if I lose weight. Nevermind that I was underweight when I was diagnosed because my sleep issues had ruined my appetite. I get that it will help a lot of people whose issues

Getting rich would absolutely be the answer to a lot of my current problems. Sure not every problem, but even for those problems it sure would help. I'd have more control over my time (no need to work a day job I don't feel pass

I really do not get this at all. I find browsing the internet on a touch screen so much worse than with a keyboard and mouse. Being able to just open a new tab and search for stuff is ever so slightly harder on a touchscreen
