  • Ever since puberty, me.

  • In this case, it might not involve the surveillance company selling or sharing anything. All an insurance adjuster has to do is knock on doors in the area and ask the home owners if they are willing to share any video footage they have.

    And yes, people do this all the time. I work in this industry.

    I really hate to stand on the side of the data hoarding conglomerates, but there's a significant chance they were not involved in the release of that video.

  • When will people realize that all of Trump's policies change on a daily basis based on the last person he talked to?

    That's just how long his memory lasts now.

  • I would do absolutely nothing differently, except I would have trouble falling asleep.

    I'm an introvert, and I chose my husband specifically because being alone with him feels just as good as being alone.

    ...Well, most of the time. (He does get on my nerves occasionally.)

  • Your friend's Windows skills:

  • I just found this out. Idk how I feel about this.

  • It seems it has been done both ways? (Which is news to me.) Source is screenshot of Wikipedia btw.

  • I meant the character itself (the way it is drawn) is a combination of long s and regular s. But, you're right.

    Also, the Wikipedia page says a capital ß is actually occasionally used. You learn something every day, I guess.

  • Ok. It's time for unsolicited German facts.

    The ß or "eszett" (also known as "scharfes s" or "sharp s") is actually the combination of the old long s (ſ) and a regular s.

    ſ + s = ſs = ß

    Isn't that neat? It's also worth noting that no words start with ß, and it is lower-case only. If you need to write a word with an ß in all caps, replace it with a double s.

    Straße -> STRASSE

    Edit: not all of this is accurate, apparently. See comments below.

  • So many get this backwards.

    The languages (there are multiple, including historical languages that explain the transition into the modern languages) came first - by about 40 years.

    He did not invent languages for his world. He invented a world to explain how his languages would come to exist.

  • My husband and I are both gamers. However, I hate online games and he loves them. Our problem was more with him being ridiculously loud (literally screaming) while playing.

    And the solution was to talk to him about it and be patient with him as he transitioned into enjoying his games at a more reasonable volume. Relationships of all sorts often involve compromise.

    Don't just tell her you want to go out. Explain to her that you want to do something together, just the two of you. Explain how you feel and why you want to spend time with her. She might have a solution you never even thought of.

  • Man, I wish someone still distributed their distro via CD/Box. Just as something to display.

  • I was speaking of philosophy not as it is today, but as it was - a precursor to "science" before the word even existed.

    Armchair philosophers are a historical creature - they sat in their armchairs and deduced how the world works without getting up from their chairs to test any of their assumptions.

    The armchair philosophers I am talking about have little to nothing in common with modern philosophers.

  • This is a corn maze. (Not maize) This is a maze made into a corn field by selectively cutting away some of the corn.

    The sign is a joke, because you can just walk through the corn in any direction to leave the maze. This is, however, discouraged. (The mazes usually are for the whole family and not particularly hard in the first place.)

    In American English at least, "maize" is only used when discussing old varieties of corn developed by Native Americans.

  • Based on a couple responses, I think it is important to remember that science depends upon testing of hypotheses, no matter how "obvious" they may seem. We are not the armchair philosophers of yesteryear.

    Now that we're starting to establish that autism may be a whole series of conditions, (which will still need further validation and hence more studies of the exact same thing) we can start identifying them in order to better understand them.
