Update: House Republicans elected a blimp as their speaker, which was promptly stolen by Dennis Hastert and crashed landed near a high school, ending a fight between a cop and a black female student over the health effects of bacon.

From my experience yesterday Abe you have nothing to worry about. We seem to have some talent in this state that is excited about their chance to shine.

Right. But the actual city regulation doesn't apply until 2016 so there's some legal grey area. Because dispensaries don't want to get on the city's bad side most will probably comply with the rule but no one really knows at this point. And those ou…

Still on the fence with Noah, first show was pretty good but that one was a result of a week of "pre shows" so they had a lot of time to build it. 2nd show seemed pretty flat. The QVC skit didn't work for me. Colbert is starting to get into the gro…

Likes: interviews, odd-ball nature Dislikes: weird happy glow, edge has been dulled Surprises: cursing

Evernote is my jam. Date-based reminders and checklists are super easy and their Android app is sweet, can only imagine the iOS version is just as good.

https://github.com/gratipay/inside.gratipay.com/issues/192The crux of the problem is the stored value: holding funds in a balance that can then be redistributed, in our opinion, qualifies as money transmission Interesting as the KMikeyM Exchange als…

I'm kinda ashamed that I didn't do the same. Apparently I have more of a stomach for violence porn than I would have originally hoped. To me the GRRM books were (partially) about showing a fantasy/medieval world with none of the rose tinted glasses…

Dug the finale out of the guts of my DVR and watched last night based on inertia only. They managed to make one of the final interesting characters to me a monster (Arya). I wouldn't worry too much about Jon Snow, if they keep mix-and-matching plot…

Man I have so many memories popping up as I clicked through those pictures. Mr B's famous falafel in the dining room, role-playing games with Mike and 'Zin in the downstairs den, playing Ultima and The Journeyman Project on the mac, puking my guts o…

Just hovering over the link and seeing the URL was enough for me

This thread is inspiring me to dig out the box of hard drives in the garage and try to get some data off them. I'm too paranoid to discard/recycle my drives and too lazy to securely reformat so I pull the drive and recycle/donate the rest of the com…

I've always thought s-corp for personal/family and LLC/P if you need/want many partners, but I've fumbled my way through this stuff and haven't had an indy job in years. To be clear the liability insurance I'm talking about (if that's even the righ…
-
S-corp + liability ins is the best way to go IMO. Most large companies that hire a lot of freelancers/indys will require liability ins which is pretty cheap. In my experience a company doesn't care what kind of license/structure you have, but are st…

One honest-to-God trick that a public speaking teacher taught me a long time ago. Just before an important interview or presentation find somewhere private and adopt the "victory pose" for 1-2 minutes. Wide-ish stance, arms raised almost as high as …

I'm also a chatty fast-talking interviewee. My trick is to ask a lot of questions and start collaborating right away. You are a good teacher and love the subject so try to dig into some details with followup questions to get your juices flowing. Onc…

OMG another Android user. FINALLY. Another idea, threads older than x months become member only. Edit: And another! Enable robots no-follow if not already.

Mine is Hawaii surrounded by stressful but hopefully (slightly*) more fulfilling career move. First time traveling on a spring break week since maybe college. Full circle now since week was picked long ago due to 1st grader's schedule. * let's not …

Where do you most often check UHX? a) computer What sort of (smart)phone do you have? Android OnePlus One (OPO) Do you use UHX just "once a day" or do you check in multiple times a day? Once-a-day (average) Do you find the number of participan…

I'm much more on the self-righteous side of the fence, as you can probably tell. So I love the fact that there are muckrakers out there even (especially?) if they are dickheads. But the fact that anyone put GG in a management role of anything bigger…

Again, it feels awkward on this side of the argument. But after reading the article in question this is a really bad example to illustrate your point. I mean the entire piece was vintage-uninformed-blogger-speculation that indeed, Putin might be get…

Agreed that line is a bit lazy, but I'm not sure I would classify it as a "major inaccuracy" especially considering he's posting off-the-cuff in a chat forum. The gist of what he is trying to convey is that industry is taking it's own steps to thwar…

Greenwald *is* a bit insufferable, but what major inaccuracies? I'm curious. Despite the implosion of First Look I find The Intercept a valuable voice. I find it funny that he almost missed his chance at a Pulitzer because he couldn't be bothered to…

So funny same thing happened to me on a cruise ship when I was a little kid but just for a blood draw. Cruise nurse stuck me a half-dozen times before my mom pulled a Nick Burns, the company's computer guy, and said "MOVE" and did it first try. ("Th…

Good point.
