To send last messages before he kills himself? Call for help if he backs out?

People have committed or failed suicide attempts in probably any way we can imagine.

> So where was he going? I saw two possibilities: either to Tikkakoski to visit his ex-girlfrind he was on the phone with or; just to drive around with a new powerful car, to shake off the heated phone call.

I don't understand how suicide isn't at the top of the list here. He was obviously very upset emotionally. He didn't care for his belongs other than his phone. He didn't care to steal someone's car or answer for it. He never shows up anywhere.

I feel the same a lot of the time. I get so excited when I have something to say.

My Mom recently had brain surgery and was recovering. Her machine would go off all the time and it took forever for a nurse to come buy and fiddle with it. I would joke to my Mom that it probably meant she was dying. Those beeps were so annoying. If anything, they should be beeping in the nurse's control area. It seems ridiculous it has to beep loud enough for a nurse down the hallway to hear it when it never seemed to be anything urgent or dangerous. Certainly, no one came running.

This would be a great companion tutorial to a text book. I loved the animations and the interactive animations. It could use some proofreading, however.

My ex girlfriend's family used to have their cat litters right next to the kitchen table. Any bad behavior or decisions I've made since then I'm going to blame on her and my "taxoplasmosis".

> Because it’s always going to be there, and it does the one thing I actually need it to no matter what: Let me run multiple shells at once, without SSHing in multiple times, regardless of whatever funky terminal emulator I’m actually using to get the job done.

I'm confused. Couldn't you just open a new tab to do this? Or just alias your shhing to a 4 stroke alias like "sshg"?

This is really cool. I would love to have that power of typing my handwriting.

It is obvious he partied all night after a late shoot. "I took a sleeping pill and it didn't kick in until now" is just a polite way of saying partying was more important to me than this commercial. The man was a known alcoholic.

Pretty insane for the writer or even China/Russia to believe the US, with all of its resources, wouldn't be able to make their own accurate maps.

This article is shameless weak justification for Russian/China purposely breaking their maps.

This is eerily similar to the privacy argument "well I don't do anything wrong so I have nothing to worry about". The problem is you don't decide what should be hidden and what should be available, the state does, and things can change quickly. Having said that, it would be easy to change your security settings as known security threats become apparent.

Checking receipts causes a long line backed up to the registers on busy days, like holidays. Stopping the checking of receipts doesn't magically get all these people with carts through the doors, especially during a stampede. It is a clear hazard.

At Costco, when it is really busy, it can be a real fire hazard with people lined up just have someone pretend to audit your cart and then cross off your receipt. It is insane they can get away with abusing their customers like that.
