I agree that man pages are wonderful. This point in the article really irked me.

I made the switch from Windows 10 to Manjaro w/KDE about 2 months ago. Took about a week of ironing out some things and forcing myself to stick it out, but now I love it. I will also vouch for KDE being really good right now.

Just clarifying, this isn't a Stripe product.

A solar array would expedite charging, but I believe they intend to monitor energy supply rates and charge based off that as well. eg. When rates dip, it charges at a higher rate.

Wow. I actually have a new patient/establishment doctor's appointment on June 18th to speak with a physician about my lack of ability to focus on tasks and whatnot for more than a few minutes. Reading your post describes me very, very well with the exception of the cleanliness portion.

I am constantly tapping my toes or fingers, biting my nails, clicking my teeth to the beat of a song stuck in my head, etc. My knees even get sore from tapping my foot/shaking my leg while driving in the car. I've been wondering for some time if I suffered from ADHD but didn't want to self-diagnose, and I was too lazy to look for a doctor. Finally set the appointment two months ago and I am ecstatic about finally speaking to someone about it.

One thing that really struck a chord with me was your description of alcohol consumption. Some of the the best stretches of productivity in my life have been when I was holding a buzz after two beers, or the week I was taking Vicodin for a wrist injury. It's like they calm my brain down enough to let me get things done.

I also feel like many people just shirk it off as me being lazy about doing things. Want to study for that certification you've been talking about? Just sit down and do it; turn off the distractions and get to work! It isn't that easy, yet I feel guilty when people think of it that way, even though I know there's more to it.

Thank you for sharing your experiences, it has given me some hope that I might be able to get some help with this.

Given the extremely dangerous potentials of such a mix-up, I would very much doubt an "Oops" moment would occur. Quite honestly, the way they run the company, I wouldn't be surprised if the process of pushing an OTA update to the automobiles is akin to launching a nuclear missile.

Data. Data everywhere.

I love the idea, liking the design so far, and wanted to back it. However, $200 for this seems way too steep. I feel the same way about the Lockitron ($179). Granted, I live in a 900 sq. ft. apartment and not a multi-level house with backyard, etc., but spending almost $200 so I don't have to get up from my couch to see who is at the door is asking too much.

Like I said, I love this idea and I want to back it, but I can't commit that much cash to it (I realize you are only charged when it ships). At that price, the market is too niche (people with physical disabilities, large houses, or just large wallets) and I can't see this succeeding for long.

And you just won them another customer. This was so well-written, informative and entertaining that it completely hooked me. I love giving my SO random surprises, and this (JewelScent) is perfect for that!

I still have some very shitty things on my credit report, from as recent as three years ago, and I was accepted no problem. Frankly, I was surprised.

Loaded just fine for me, and there's no more crap on the page than many places you'd find such articles.

30 characters or less for the email field? Why? :( My current work email domain is lakeview-museum.org, with the @ that's 20 characters, leaving only 10 for someone's identifier. Luckily mine is only 5, but still, 30 seems way too small.
