In a "free market", I'd agree to do it for the same minus the local road association costs. Sorry, you're out of a job.

Edit: People downvoting reality. OK.

>Once I reach "normalcy", procrastination and self indulgence kick in unless I see a point behind a long term goal.

Greeeeat point. Productivity is incredible while you're in survival mode. However, is there a time when stagnation is the goal? I often thought, "If I got rich, I'd do nothing. Sit, enjoy life, travel." But would that lead to the depression you speak of?

I think it says something about the Hacker News community that these posts always float to the top. Hardly a day passes where I don't see a "no more procrastination" post.

What does this mean? Is it that we're all procrastinators? I don't think so, many here are highly accomplished. Is it our fear or procrastination? Is it perfectionism?

Strange.

Change that today! /r/wicked_edge You don't have to use the fancy soaps / brushes to wet shave, but they do help. Buy a handle (~$25) and blades are dirt cheap QTY 100 for ~$12 - 20.

The problem is, the manufacturers will not be able to follow suit with thunderbolt. So... what will device makers use? The BIG problem is they will likely not even use the same "standard" across Android devices... what is a headphones manufacturer to do?

>eliminate student loans

This will do nothing more than favor the rich and further suppress the poor.

You're missing the easy one, caffeine.

I've found some data on the subject prior, and I find that it doesn't contain sugar, but acts like sugar, but then that's nullified if you eat it with a fiber, etc. It's more than "what does this book say".

What do you think about white rice? Google lists white rice (1 cup, cooked) at 0.1g. Conversely, brown rice shows 0.7g for the same portion.

Are these simple sugars? Is this bad for me?

This is FELONY theft in some states. This man is an absolute idiot for not calling the police on those who set out elaborate schemes to defraud others.

The included adapter is going the wrong way. I'd need female thunderbolt to male 3.5mm. I have to either buy an adapter or new headphones to use with both devices.

I have the new MacBook as well as a (pre-ordered) iPhone 7. I use both at work using headphones for private listening. If I want to use my iPhone 7's headphones, I will need to purchase an adapter that does not yet exist (3.5 > lightning).

I'm left with two options: 1) buy wireless headphones, 2) buy 3.5mm headphones and use the adapter when using the iPhone. It's not a huge issue, but it's not the "just works" motto when I have to finagle a way to make headphones work with two Apple products.

>I question whether people will think to use them if they go into their phone for a specific task.

IMO, they will not. I know 8-10 people with 6S/6S+ iPhones and _none_ of those people use force touch.
