    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!

    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...

    Our History in Two Minutes

    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.

    Do you keep cash in your car?

    Still not hearing any convincing reason this money should be kept in car and not wallet. Having some cash with you is a decent idea, no earthly reason I would keep it in the car though, unless you think someone is waiting ambush you with a sack of nickels.

    What are people opinions on price matching?

    That ain't no price match. You should buy your TVs at Costco anyway, what are you doing?

    Improper ellipsis use is a leading sign of mental deficiency.

    How much are you willing to pay for a smart phone?

    $40/month forever, apparently, since that's what I just signed up for.

    Any chance old injet printer would work?

    Please just make sure you look baller, not like some chump with an old printer. You're representing ATOT abroad.

    Thanks to ATOT I am graduating to laptop repair

    Open that thing up again and send pix. You may or may not be able to get away with a slower SATA 3 based M.2, not sure if SATA support is implied in all M.2 or if some are PCIE only.

    Thanks to ATOT I am graduating to laptop repair

    What Skorp said. OP, are you sure you know what you're looking for in an M.2 SSD? It looks like a stick of RAM.

    Thanks to ATOT I am graduating to laptop repair

    I do hope you're following the manual (not sure if that's the right model) and not just rummaging around in there.

    Well, it will either be routine, or soldered to the motherboard. Good luck.

    Apple replaced the headphone jack on the iPhone 7 with a fake speaker grill

    Half the ports are fake and it still works better than Android. Sad :disrelieved:

    I think I'm doing life wrong

    OP, this is a relatively common, though somewhat unfortunate phenomenon. People are too quick to throw in the towel and surrender to the burden of mounting responsibilities.

    How I make $10k a week selling on Amazon.

    Even this required some token degree of research, critical thinking and ingenuity, which is well above the pay grade of people trying to get-rich-quick. This goes as far as to qualify as a clever idea, which can definitely earn you some cash, at least for a while. If you think you're going to...

    i'm thinking about stopping balancing my checkbook

    Yeah. I wonder about this. I checked for years and never found a discrepancy, and honestly lost interest and haven't checked in many more. They could easily pull an extra dollar or two out of me and I'd probably never notice, at least on larger bills. Cost of doing business I guess? Either...

    Flotation therapy: Has anyone tried this. Float in 10 inches of water.

    Podcast episode on the matter. I'd like to try it but think I might flip my shit. If you're not careful, you'll definitely go full Altered States, as twinrider pointed out.

    The orientation of food caps, lids, pulltabs

    You were already dumb enough to buy that can of Budweiser, your patronage is not in question. Instead you must allow that valuable brand signage to radiate out to your colleagues, infecting their subconscious with not only the desire to drink, but also with the imperceptible reality that you...

    Tiny demodex mites live in the pores of your skin

    0.2-0.4mm seems kind of big. That's large enough to observe without a microscope isn't it? I look at my nose plenty and ain't never seen one. Maybe I'm not a hospitable host.

    Dipping sauces for chicken strips or nuggets

    They're all pretty great. I love a good ranch, but a lot of takeout places seem to make a weird oily version.
