You're reading snark where none was intended, and responding in kind.

Double negatives are a problem when you're actually trying to use a single negative which is the case here.

I wasn't offering myself up as an authority on words, I'm pretty bad at both spelling and grammar.

Also, as a Brit living in the US I'm also well aware of different uses of words/spellings and agree that the point of language is communication, and irregardless doesn't cause confusion, as it is obvious what someone means when they use the word.

The whole point of prefacing my comment with, "I hate to be that guy", was to suggest that I'm not actually that guy to soften any perceived insult/criticism.

regardless - without regard to

irrespective - without respect to

adding the prefix ir- and the suffix -less is doing the same thing twice, its a double negative.

Ha, there's even a wikipedia entry[1], I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

TLDR: you're wrong.

C/C, C/SW, C/S, [opponent takes C], C/SE, NE/SW, NE/S...

after C/SE, your opponent has control and can go anywhere that is available in the center board they've already won, so you can't assume you're next play will be NE.

More importantly after you've sent them to the SW board with NE/SW they can go anywhere except the middle and so they then have the initiative.

Hmm, It looks like you switched notation halfway through? I was assuming board/position and only showing player 1 moves but that doesn't after losing the center board

Regardless you lose the initiative after 5 moves.

This is the equivalent of saying that the NSA can use such metadata to find muslim extremists that want to kill your children and implement sharia law. (hyperbole courtesy of American media)

Changing the timeline such that "americans" are the underdogs rather than the establishment isn't really helpful... is it? Or is this attempt to stoke revolutionary sentiment?

On August 22, 1862, just a few weeks before signing the Proclamation and after he had already discussed a draft of it with his cabinet in July, he wrote a letter in response to an editorial by Horace Greeley of the New York Tribune which had urged complete abolition. Lincoln differentiates between "my view of official duty"—that is, what he can do in his official capacity as President—and his personal views. Officially he must save the Union above all else; personally he wanted to free all the slaves:

I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored; the nearer the Union will be "the Union as it was." If there be those who would not save the Union, unless they could at the same time save slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views. I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty; and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men everywhere could be free.

I'd assume they're saying some of these might be compromised, but specifically that credit cards aren't.

I've used various different alternates as I've aged and moved locations but I'm fairly certain "you" (with a silent parenthetical (plural) ) has remained my default throughout.

youwse / you lot / your lot (northern UK)

guys (used as non-gendered) (bay area)

y'all / you all (Texas)

I think you are both capable of being correct... but then I must think that because I agree with both of you :)

>The vast majority of software projects never make it far enough for the name to matter. You don't know which category your project will end up in when you start it.

The "categories" are:

1) Projects where the name will matter because the project is successful

and

2) Projects where the name won't matter because the project dies before reaching critical mass.

Basically what level of granularity is currently offered in terms of FB filters, and can you setup multiple ones to switch between them?

Is this an area that FB are currently working on? Seems like this would be a good remedy for people who aren't finding the content they want.

Users are still going to be required to do some work to setup their filters though, I really don't see how you can avoid that though.

Are we forced to be here?

I wouldn't categorize this shift[1] as "large" and given the relative sizes of the groups of households I don't believe it can be having the affect you suggest.

Heh that sounds awesome. A very real demonstration to a new hire what's expected of them - "Stuff needs doing? roll up your sleeves and get it done."

so then you can buy these from asda and add it to whatever you want.... why wait for the OP to do the work?

The point I was trying to make is that whilst those companies offer a membership incentive structure its not a true co-op and you don't have an ownership stake in the company. You just receive some member benefits like cash back and discount coupons - similar to your credit card company giving you air miles.

One national brand I CAN think of that is a co-op is REI, I'm sure there are others though, lots of local-focused food businesses use a co-op model.

Costco and Sam's club (wholesalers / cash n carry) offer membership benefits but I think that's more related to getting air miles on your credit card.

I have no problem with hugging but I really don't care - I never instigate it with males or females but have no problem returning a hug if one is incoming.

Who has the time to worry about stuff like this? I really don't get it, chances are the people you are imagining taking offense aren't analyzing the interaction at all - let alone as deeply as you are.

I'd strongly advise bosses not to hug their employees except in very rare circumstances, those interactions are much likely to be analyzed by the recipient and any observing coworkers

I'm a married male for the record.

I'm a brit living in the US so add that as a datapoint too!

It doesn't even register on my offensive scale... did we have this same hand-wringing over zed shaw's programming motherfucker website? I don't recall it if we did. http://programming-motherfucker.com/become.html

This means SHE was avoiding the losses not actively trying to make a profit. That's how I read first time and still how it reads now. I guess the use of the term "hacking" in this sense wasn't a great idea.

The term is being used like life-hacking.

I have to be in the casino,

I have to play slots (no blackjack)

How do I make this work?

... I play for penny stakes instead of dollar stakes.

The fact that she did actually win something was just dumb luck.

You should really go back and read the rest of it, it is well worth it.

EDIT: Mostly correct! Fat-soluble vitamins build up in the fatty tissues and are much slower to release and are almost always responsible for Vitamin Poisoning, water-soluble vitamins are easily excreted in the obvious way.

There are exceptions though, you can overdose on some of the B vitamins which are water-soluble, I didn't follow up to find out why that is.
