I appreciate the straightforwardness of this. If I could make one request, it would be to support more of a "tick" mode instead of the continuous second hand motion. It doesn't even have to actually make noises, I just like t

This is the buried lede in this announcement for me - I had no idea they were already going to such lengths. It's really impressive!

I bet for some of these students, the goal of those classes is not to learn, it's to get enough information to pass tests so the students can check a box off on a prerequisites list so they can get their piece of paper. A student can r

Anecdata: I am 33 and have 0 kids. I make good money but, due to poor financial literacy at a young age, I am shackled with a hefty amount of student loan debt well into my 30s. My 20s were financially precarious and it would've been i

I didn't notice before being exposed to that information (I'm one of those "imdb in my hand at all times" kind of watchers). It's way more noticeable in the movie because I guess they lost the voice modification too

Decided to watch Farscape on a whim after watching Ben Browder and Claudia Black in Stargate. What a great show! It starts off on an awkward foot, like most sci-fi shows do. But it eventually comes around to a really amazing show with great

Yeah I find it hard to take articles like this seriously. "Be cautious of intensely focusing on something for long, uninterrupted periods. Reduce distractions from notifications where possible. Stand up and take a walk every once in a

It's a slot machine in aesthetics only. A klondike solitaire game is as much of a slot machine as this game - you shuffle the deck and hope that the order of the cards is just right that you're able to complete all of the foundati

As someone with several dozen hours in it, I think of it as the purest distillation of the "deck builder" game genre. In a deck builder, you often shuffle your deck and the order in which you draw the cards influences the stuff yo

Through this pursuit, he has learned and honed problem solving, computer science, mathematics, and communication skills. I think you could argue that the "underlying goal" for most people's hobbies are pointless.

yeah I was a windows phone head. The Nokia Lumia 920 to this day is my favorite phone I've ever owned. But they just could not get any traction.

The only worthwhile advice here is to turn off notifications.

I don't think that was an argument, I think it was an answer to the command in the title.

I've been using mine for about a year now. I love it. I'm not really an orthodox touch-typist so there were a few keystrokes that took some time for me to get the hang of. I'm pulling 100 WPM though so I must be doing somethi

Ok sure, and I bet a lot of the _people_ want to help. But another limiting factor is the facilities with which they work. When I say "not every doctor" I don't just refer to the warm body that went to medical school, I'
