TIL there is an extension for the major browsers that will automatically filter out the reddit circlejerker comments from youtube.

Oh thank god. I hate those things so much.

Or... just don't read the comments at all. Save your sanity AND RAM.
I have an extension called Hide YouTube Comments, and it does that, but for everyone, and my life is better, because everyone except for me is wrong and horrible.

TIL: It was illegal to be black in Oregon until 1926.

I had no idea.

Seriously? Just today? Dude, get your jailbait radar checked, it's been malfunctioning for years then.
That is a surprisingly well put-together gizmodo article.
Every time I see Gizmodo, I think of Gizmondo, and this fascinating article: http://archive.wired.com/wired/archive/14.10/gizmondo.html
The only left side ones that I have heard of are Mathematica and scilab. I have used both too. We use R, python, and perl around here. I took a java class in college. I stink at all of them though. I have cheat sheets hanging up all around my desk.
YIL: how to make 1/2 blind dovetails, full dovetails, and mortise and tenon joinery by hand from the legendary Roy Underhill. It was a fantastic day!

MUTANT!
TIL that a female friend of mine who lives down in Augusta, Georgia has a rather unconventional family situation.
Short version: Her husband had an affair and got another woman pregnant. He, my friend, and the other woman have now bought a house together and they are cooperatively raising the little girl.
On the one hand, none of my business. On the other, listening to her telling me about it, I had the chant "JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!" going on in the back of my mind.

Your friend is married to William Moulton Marston?
TIL - Being a student does not mean an undergrad when it comes to conferences/workshops. Since I'm not in a graduate program I can't take the student price. wtf
Although the irony is that the title of the conference is "Preparing Students and Counselors for College and Career Readiness".

This fits your avatar perfectly, btw.
I'd say in Marston's case it may have been a mutual agreement, since the women stayed together until one passed, long after Marston had died. But Internet brownie points for the reference.
I went for humour over accuracy. It's like Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, but for jokes!
NO this whole thing is bullshit. MOA inhibitors, with which you should not eat (in particular) fava beans, are a quickly-going-out-of-style treatment for atypical depression. Lecter is a psychopath, he wouldn't have been on them for any reason, even if he had been receiving treatment.

TIL that not only does my local library lend eBooks, but it also has streaming video. Right now I'm watching "The Men Who Stare at Goats" and I'm not sure what all else there is that's decent.
