They do something once in a while to convince people it is worth getting that logo.

So long as you roll the weighted die first, the odds the unweighted die lands on the number you need is 1/6. If you roll the unweighted die first though, your odds of getting the needed number are no longer 1/6.

I don't want to donate to Mozilla, I want to donate to Firefox. I can donate to Mozilla, but little if any money would go to firefox, instead it goes to various causes unrelated to web browsers.

Code allows painting the white conductor black which is what i do. Or at least it did 10 years ago when I last checked.

Running more than one outlet on a 220 circute is generally against us codes. It will work but don't do it.

I have a phev with only 30 miles of range - ofen I get home with a nearly dead battery and need to leave again soon - I want faster charging. I'm sure someone with 200 miles of range can be fine on 110 volt slow charging as there likely enough time over a week that it works.

5 year olds dressed up to look like a 19 year old going out for a one night stand. Kids are cute, and I was never into one night stands, but when the girl is 19 I can appreciate looking at a lot of skin.

get a popcorn popper pan. They are not expensive and well worth it if you like popcorn. You can buy bulk popcorn kernels, choose you oil and salt thus paying for the special pan in weeks - all while getting much better popcorn.

If it is for work they should be paying for it.

Whatever the local small sales and service guy sells. There are a bunch of good ones - but the local guy will know what they need to service more often and what they can get parts for if you need it.

To quit driving you need to live in a world where that is possible. Go to all the hearings about transit and speak up - make it clear you care about service not the distractions that so often get money. Trains are useful but don't let an expensive train to nowhere take money from the bus budget - but also don't blow your budget on more buses when you need a metro.

there is no place in the world where transit couldn't be better.

I've known more than one person who found a completely different career and never went back. You might take a job in Real Estate as one person I know did and discover you like it better and so all that time in school was a waste now that you know you don't want to do that. Or maybe not - you might take that job to make ends meet (as I once had to take a non-tech job) and decide you hate enough that you don't want to go back.
