The only grocery delivery available in my area is walmart, and this is basically why I haven't tried it - I'm picky about produce quality, expiration dates, etc., and I don't trust someone else to have that same attention to

That is a really good idea. My first thought was basically start with the tree, a drone's natural enemy, and amplify the stuff that makes it so dangerous to a drone - tiny sticks that are hard to see. Fishing line would pretty much acc

We do this every morning at 8am sharp for 30 minutes. I finally just decided not to attend as the inertia from just sitting there was killing my morning productivity.

That sucks. I am in the suburbs of a fairly small city along the gulf coast, we mainly have issues with package theft in November/December. People just follow the UPS truck.

I'm at a gigantic (50k+ employees), soul-sucking company that is mostly nontechnical business consulting, working remote as a Software Architect from a borderline-BFE city. $105k + 150%ish 401k match up to 5% of pay + decent benefits.

Not very nice to accuse the guy of just making things up. I've seen them in the southeast. Was able to find this picture: https://www.flickr.com/photos/95851032@N07/14628233183/

I was also a frequent Greyhound rider, mostly during and right after college (2000 - 2007 maybe). It was overall an awful experience, and in general took about 3x the time of driving a car. You do end up with about one crazy story per 8 hou

At $50 a bulb, it would cost me $1550 to do every permanent fixture in my 1600sqf house. $1100 if I skipped the bathrooms and closets. Another $250 for lamps. I think I was mistaken about the subscription fee, there wasn't one. Regardl

$30 - $50 plus a paid subscription seems expensive for what is basically a wifi on/off switch, especially if you wanted to do a whole house.

This is what killed Bing for me. I work at a .NET heavy company and it seemed like Bing was pushing (possibly not intentionally) MSDN and MS forums pretty hard. That generally was not where the answers to my questions were, and after a whil

It is a ridiculous and overly broad statement to say that of the tens or hundreds of thousands of companies selling on these sites, none have a QC process in place.

Is it just me, or is GearBest carrying fewer items by far than they were a year ago?

On low price/toy grade quads, it is usually because they get out of range of the transmitter so you can't tell them to stop. If you check out some reviews on YouTube, you'll see the reviewer throttle up the quad and turn off
