an ice bucket chills something waaaaaay faster than a mini fridge or even a mini fridge with a freezer

From someone who tried making an app that uses NFC, it's all over the place and inconsistent; might be good to have a bit of a reset.

I can't stop listening to this specific one, it's been months and everyday I listen to it at work

it does depend on the ones you have. The cheap ones are just speakers. I have one of the higher end shoks with audio boost and it feels like it has a little speaker on top of the bone conducting.

if you're in a quiet room and you put them on max and leave it on your desk you'd probably be able to pick out what it's playing. I think at that point though the desk is somewhat becoming a medium for the sound..

these methods don't account for all the variables that reality has. People across all boarding groups will be late, there will be people that need assistance from flight attendants, there will be people who want to switch seats to be near their family, there will be people who can't sit in the exit row, there will be people who need to use the rest room, there will be people who've never been on a plane before.

There is no great, full proof way to handle it because people are unpredictable

I flew around 26 times domestically last year and most of the flights ran out of space. It's really common for the airline to ask for volunteers to check their carry-ons. If you aren't in the first 2/3rds of people on the plane, you'll likely be forced to check your carry-ons.

This problem has gotten worse over the years because airlines have increased the prices for checking your luggage so many people opt to bring carry-ons instead.

I had pretty terrible math education in school but as an adult I've gotten into programming and making video games and every time I learn a math concept I think "wow, math is even cooler than I thought" but the main part stopping me from learning some concepts is not having a practical example.

I vaguely know differentiation and integration.. I think it might be the correct way to describe things like determining/applying acceleration to an object over time.. but when I read your description I really don't understand..

I think that's in general what I run into with math. it's cool and amazing when I get it, but a lot of the descriptions of concepts have a lot of assumptions about the reader sometimes to the point where to understand the description you'd have to already understand the concept.

why would someone intentionally harm like this

but not everyone wants to buy yet (younger people, people who want flexibility, people who know they are moving [only in that city for school], etc).

People don't want to buy a house because it's either unaffordable, unavailable or the process takes too long. If you eliminate those aspects of home ownership, people wouldn't mind and maybe even prefer owning a home for short periods of time.

it cracks me up how people will go through so much effort to prepare meat specific ways to get the right texture and flavor and then turn to something like broccoli and just boil it and go "vegetables suck"

before I got a cat I would have said this dude is crazy. But, now, I get it. I too want to save all the kitties
