    Why Do People Hate Drones?

    Harbinger of a deadly anonymous cyber dystopia.

    Robot Vacumns

    Good enough on hard floors that we rarely bust out the real vacuum for the first floor anymore. Biggest hassle is "prepping" before each run (move cords, scoot in chairs, pick up all the dumb scrap we left everywhere).

    New Aeron Chair

    I've had two of these knockoffs (one work, one home) for years and I'm still pretty happy with them: http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/234750/WorkPro-Quantum-9000-Series-Ergonomic-Mesh

    Amazon Prime shipping gone to hell?

    Sounds like you should be paying Amazon for all the free Prime they're giving you!

    Ignore is for cowards.

    LED lightbulbs

    I must have mental problems, I love the sterile look of 5000K. I want to make a big jump to the Hue White but haven't gotten around to it, right now we have a three pack of the full color Hues which are fun to play with.

    Home depot rant!

    This thread has been a roller coaster and I'm emotionally exhausted. I'm having a hard time arguing against always wanting more batteries though, because fuck I love batteries, and it's usually cheaper to get them with the tool. I'm siding with the disgraced OP.

    Would you hire a job hopper?

    This is pretty accurate to reality. It's largely driven by the business, you can't really blame the employee - stay in one place indefinitely for a 2.5%/year CoL, or jump after a few years for 20%+? Larger companies can at least allow upward movement from within to retain knowledge, smaller...

    What is your personal cell phone plan and what isn't it MetroPCS?

    I'm looking at switching to T-Mobile now, and their current "unlimited" offer is $70, before 15% work/association discount (and also before taxes). Probably around $65/m out the door. Doesn't seem like a huge difference to me. I wish I could talk myself into the $30/5GB plan but it seems like...

    Was hoping for the history of ATOT, which was barely featured.

    Uber or Lyft?

    Generally positive experiences using both. Oh, and make sure you take advantage of any first-timer coupons. I think Uber gives you $25 and Lyft gives you $5 off your first ten rides, or something like that. Reason enough to try them both.

    What does a coder do day to day, and do we need so many?

    A programmer's day is full and meaningful. You have to: - Meet about Gantt charts - Fix code somebody else broke - Roll back two days of work because UX decided you didn't need to add that button after all - Figure out why unannounced, undocumented API changes broke your REST calls - Wait for...

    Do you keep cash in your car?

    Speaking of which, what you should all really do if you're not already, is keep an unused credit card in your house (I guess car works too if you insist), to ease the much more probable pain of losing your wallet somewhere.

    Hey guys

    You've been going on about your eye issues for weeks, WTF is going on and why haven't you seen a doctor yet? And don't try to blame it on Canadian healthcare.
