I don't read DMs.

  • As I've gotten older, I've learned who I am, and become comfortable with that. And, I've also learned who I'm not. This has reduced stress for me.

  • While true, you also learn that you're free not to give a shit about them, too, and "wear purple".

  • The pockets have gotten smaller as people stopped using them for watches. Kept out of tradition, and for whatever one might use them for today.

    That said, there are plenty of pocket watches made today that are around 45mm across. That size will fit easily in the watch pocket I have on my jeans at the moment.

  • It was never about sound quality. Sound quality was the justification for spending money and showing off. Just like so much of consumerism.

  • This stopped being common as watches and clocks became more affordable, and therefore our employers demanded we show up to the minute at scheduled time.

  • It helps a lot to have a memorable username, mfed1122.

  • Oh! Right. It's Valentine's Day.

    I currently have no reason to track that, and probably won't for the foreseeable future.

  • I expect in the short amount of time until the Dems once again fold their winning hand for no gain, this will have zero impact on ICE activities.

  • Twenty-plus years ago, when laser eye surgery was new, I thought for a minute about getting it. Then I thought, we're not going to really know the long-term effects until a long term has passed, and people getting it today might regret doing this as they get older. So, I didn't get it.

    I'm not saying I was right, I'm saying that at any given point in time, I cannot predict the future, and that I've been happy enough wearing glasses. Especially that time my glasses saved me from losing an eye, and probably kept crap from flying into my eyes more times than I have even noticed.

  • Whatever might be down there isn't expected to be valuable enough to risk limb and dollar to reach.

    FTFY

  • I wish all people would ditch their cars for trains, subways, trams, buses and bikes.

    Assuming you want to by new. Buying a brand-new car is a fools game, when used cars exist. I'll let you pay for the "value" of choosing exactly what you want, and also let you take the depreciation hit in two years.

  • so the prices will have to settle down eventually.

    I'm not sure they will.

  • Are you really that stupid or do you just want to victimblame?

    Both. It can be both, and I think might be in this case.

  • Or, rather, you do stand stuff around your neck with the right motivation.

  • I'd halve the chicken, skip the bread, and add a bunch of vegetables, and some cheese, but yeah. In fact, that is pretty much what I eat as my main meal at lunchtime every day.

  • If you don't know the water is contaminated, then the point at which you fold is when you realize that what you taste is probably piss.

  • I was thinking one of the hardest things for me to do, that I do regularly, would be to peel and chop an onion, and here is a solution. Thanks for linking this. I'm happy to know it exists, if I ever need one.

  • I installed 64GB when I built my current rig five years ago, because I do (or, did) graphic design for a living and Photoshop will use all the RAM you can throw at it. I routinely worked on files in the 10GB size range, and sometimes larger. The RAM makes a big difference in how long filters take to render on such large image layers--from minutes, down to seconds.

  • The beatings will continue until morale improves.
