I'm just here to ask a simple, non-controversial question: what does the Confederate flag mean? Should it still fly in former Confederate states? The argument I hear most often is that the Confederacy and the Civil War were about states' rights, and there's more to it than the easy narrative of...

This is a neat test on NPR's site. I got 4 out of 6 right. You listen to 3 exact same clips from the exact same song, but each is compressed differently: 128 kbps, 320 kbps, and uncompressed .wav. Then you choose the one you think is the uncompressed wav file...

On Friday, 20 March 2015, late at night, I took a bottle of pills. The following day, around noon, aspirating my own vomit, I was found, nearly dead. I rated a 3 on the Glasgow Coma Scale (that's bad.) and didn't wake up until around 18:00 Saturday, 21 March 2015. I was delirious until the next...

I have a friend who needs a new laptop, budget-conscious, that's got at least 500GB and 6GB of RAM. I'm not really sure where to point them, as I haven't bought a laptop in years and have no idea who is a good manufacturer and where to go to price one out. The most intensive thing it will have...

What the actual fuck. The bodies of six infants were found in a Winnipeg storage locker. Initially police thought "three or four," so they must have been in either some significant decomposition, or... in pieces... to not readily know how many.

Why are there eight hundred and forty-nine different ends to cables? If a USB cable can transfer data and power, why is there not just one that it is used across all devices? Why is there no male USB port on computers, so I can just plug in my phone, camera or what have you without needing a...

There is a limit on people I can tag. I'd tag almost everyone. @Gusto Your painting is beautiful. My friends comment on it all the time. My then-girlfriend was so happy with it - I think she was worried I'd commissioned something awful. You've impressed a lot of people. @Charlie Don't Surf...

One more year of not being flung off of the globe.

I quit my job today, and I have no plan Not even like a part of a plan I do have a "I'm going to take all of my money, fly to south america, live in a thatched-roof loft above a bar on the beach," sort of fantasy plan. I imagine the reality involves more sand in uncomfortable places, and...

So I want to buy some sexy underwear for my girlfriend but Victoria's Secret is kind of a common/been there done that deal. What are some good places to find some variety? Also, if you're interested in a few NSFW questions

NEVERMIND. FIGURED IT OUT. Read on if you're curious about what I couldn't do. I feel like I do this a lot. Like, maybe my whole purpose is to post excel questions. Sigh. I have two Worksheets, Sheet1 and Sheet3 Sheet1 has a list of 686 numbers, all in column A. In Column C, it has a...

Last night I started to cry. There was no reason for this - so far as I can tell. And this is not the first time, in fact, as far back as I can remember, I have been subject to such fits of deep sadness and pain. It is as though my heart turns to ice, I feel like it is gripped in icy tendrils...

Spinning off from the amazing 30-second charge thread, since I kept forgetting that's where I whined about phone troubles... I have a Nexus 5, 2 months old, running KitKat 4.4.2 Paging @stienman and @PatrThom So, it's definitely not this. I had been able to get mobile data, and after a...

Let me head this off: no, I am not suicidal - I have been, I probably will be again some day, but I am not at this time. If you can't handle talk about suicide, or if you don't want to read depressing/whining things, I should recommend that you stop reading here. This whole little babbling...

Dear Chad, What is it with you? Sincerely, Chad Dear Myself, Fucked if I know. Yours, Me

I admit, I'm a sucker for triangles, so aesthetically, I want one. On the other hand, I wonder if the plastic for these will be made without using oil? Why has no one asked Mr. Young that question? (I know the answer.) Anyway, colour me interested. I could use a new MP3 device since my...

$35/mo to use a phone I already own? Are you shitting me. Seriously, this is ridiculous. Fucking ridiculous. And they all basically collude, there's no difference. Motherfucking fuck shit balls

As requested, and promised. I probably will only share one story and then others when I'm not, you know, at work. I had been on a dating site for a while when a girl messaged me - which was a first - and seemed interesting, pretty, and able to put together full sentences, which is a plus. We...

I have a list of files, that are all numbered, from 0000 to 2161. However, in the folder, only 1665 files are present, which means I'm missing 495 files. Unfortunately, it's not one big chunk that is missing, and I can't seem to find a pattern in what isn't present. How can I search or sort...
