Rolling it the wrong way, not rolling it all the way down, not rolling it correctly which leads to more frequent tearing when air is caught at the end.

And one of the most common issues buying the largest size available even when you don't have a 12" as thick as drink can tool.

While it's been 16-17 years since I had a sexed class i still remember the girl who came and told us to buy regular or even ("small") since it was still when I was 14-15 then she took a the smallest size Durex and rolled it over a 2 liter soda bottle and said unless you are bigger don't buy magnum super XL.

"Well, unless people en masse are willing to go out there and build new houses"

They ARE! But the government won't let them.

Zoning and NIMBY laws are what causes the housing crisis.

It would be fixed in 5 years if the government removed building height limits in only a few square mile areas in all the major high rent cities.

The problem of high rent prices is solved by allowing people to build a couple hundred thousand apartments in every major city.

Apartments are extremely lucrative, so any developer at all would be willing to build them.
They have no water rights sufficient to create a farm in the middle of the desert. They bought a town which only draws enough water for personal use and some small gardens.

It's also on the way to Las Vegas, but requires you to detour on a dirt road for a significant distance. That's not going to happen -- it's simpler for tourists to just continue on their way to Las Vegas.
Cool story, but I don't really love the recent surge I've seen on here of people submitting their own blog posts. (And, as it were, literally every single one of this dude's submissions are posts from his blog.) This shouldn't be another vector for self-promotion, this should be a forum in which the most insightful and/or conversation-generating content is organically sourced and ranked.

My opinion, of course.
These are poor communities. I know you realize how much lawyers cost.

Could a firm step in in hopes of getting a big pay day going up against the huge titans of the Chemical industry? Probably. Just hasn't happened yet, I'd say.
There is no technical issue here preventing a clear answer due to 140 character limits.

These guys had my email address and could have sent a detailed response. Instead, they sent a short (but clear) one. If they actually wanted a phone interview, they could have asked for one and provided a number to call. And it's possible to send more than one tweet if they wanted to respond that way.

They did link to a FAQ which isn't clear, and their Terms of Service is posted on the page as others have noted. This is what raised my eyebrows to begin with and why I started asking questions.

A friend who is a tech reporter said "When they're responding like this, you know you got 'em." Given that Rory has had all morning to dispute any of the facts in my blog post, and has not done so despite being very active on Twitter, it seems clear that my reporter friend is right.

MECCANO ( http://www.meccano.com/ )

6 might be a bit on the younger side for it, but 10 definitely not. You learn to use a screwdriver and screws and basic mechanics. You can go all the way to elaborate designs.

It's a timeless toy, my father already played with it (looked like this back then: http://www.dalefield.com/nzfmm/slap/RoyalMeccano.JPG ) and so did I. Heck, even an adult can use these, I once made a distillery platform with height-adjustable burner with these. Really nice to slap together sturdy prototypes.

EDIT: Now that I'm looking at modern MECCANO, I feel like they have diverted too much from the original path. I'd rather have the basic old metal kit in the second image than a fancy MECCANO car consisting of oddly shaped plastic pieces.

Good observation. The VW emissions cheating was a technical violation that didn't have much of a real-world impact, because the percentage of diesel cars sold in the USA is tiny.

It often seems that there's something of an inverse proportion in the public outrage over some event vs. the actual damage caused.

VW cheats on emissions for cars that are a tiny of a percent of total cars sold in the USA --- huge fines, mass outrage, because why not? There's really no downside.

New Orleans is chemically polluted for decades, cancer hot zone, etc --- shut up, business as usual, because we need the jobs.

It's inhuman to attempt to destroy someone's life for having politically incorrect opinions, no matter what those opinions are.

The employee should instead give them a warning and educate them. Writing a manifesto is not a capital crime.
Unfortunately when meeting new people, you don't always have control of the conversation's direction. Once I know someone, they'll know I don't like talking about it, but having conversations with people I already know is the easy part of life.

How do we now this isn't something that is being caused due to the female being suppressed in our history? This studies are biased due to the fact that females haven't been treated equally for centuries and this affects on how the female see the world, affecting the real purpose of the study.

It's like taking a male that you have treated emotionally bad and you tell him thru all his life he can't do this and that and a male where you tell him he must be strong, he must do this and that. Boths are males and I bet you will find the same differences between these two males and between a male and a female.

You are consuming a resource that's finite. You are literally taking value from the provider without asking or paying for it. What do you propose we call this?
Exactly. The word "terrorist" is as poor a descriptor as "bad guy" or "alternative music" apart from the people and groups you mentioned that use it to stir up fear (or "terror" if you will!)
That's silly, as anyone who has used Airbnb knows. Your renter rating on Airbnb is meaningless. If you somehow got a bad one, you'd just create a new profile. I've created new profiles for Airbnb rentals simply because I couldn't be arsed to remember which email address I'd used, and had no problems.
Yes. The problem is nobody has "perfect fertility information". Little flukes in exact timing could change the "safe" days significantly. There's actually a whole bunch of info for couples wanting to do this with multiple ways to track fertility with more or less invasive options.
You think it's unfair for me to call people who believe in the objective supremacy of one race over another "supremacists", simply because people have very dim opinions of racial supremacists?

Indeed, but domestic physical violence, or threat thereof, is still a bigger problem. If I feel emotionally abused, I threat a visit to a divorce lawyer. On the other hand, if you get a death threat, the remedy is not that easy, because you won't get 24x7 police protection, now what?

Not that emotional abuse is not a problem; I dare to say that we men are not sufficiently educated to cope with that, personally I got enough of 1980's "women do no wrong" feminism flavor. I started to see my father's POV when I became husband and father myself - big wake-up call. But physical violence is still more of a problem.
Similar to this: when I type "Bhima" it also gets me "Bhisma". That means it does not recognize the structure of a word.

That depends __entirely__ on where you live. In Iceland, your renting a building is registered with your kennitala (national identification number). Get evicted or damage the property, and all the real estate managers in the country know.

I just want to share my two cents here:

I am a man in my 20's. At the moment, I am seeing people casually, because that's the kind of relationships I currently want and have time for.

I have been wanting male birth control for a while now.

As a guy I feel like a lot of what we are told as teenagers by our parents, and so on is that what ever you do, dont get someone pregnant. It will ruin your life, and probably the life of the child.

I know many people who have had pregnancy scares with people who were keen on keeping the child, without discussing whether the male counterpart felt similarly.

If men had the ability to control whether they could get someone pregnant, it allows them to live their lives, enjoy themselves, and explore without fear of negative life changing repercussions.

I'd imagine the arguments for women's birth control back in the 60's (70's?) were similar, with the added issue of carrying the child.

I'm not sure why male birth control is so controversial here on this forum, and in general, it sounds like the arguments for both sexes are similar, and having control of ones own body is never a bad thing.
Well, they get a message anyway. And then they have the opportunity to decide how they will react. And perhaps that outcome will be far different from what the ostracizors had hoped.
Just because they can stretch that much doesn't mean they're comfortable.
Nobody said that you shouldn't have any data in the cloud. The argument is that you shouldn't have your data only in some cloud.

If you have your data in some cloud (either directly or as backup) as well as in your really crappy backup solution that has a 10% failure rate, you still are ten times less likely to loose your data than by just keeping your data in the cloud.
AirBnb has pushed down hotel room prices which makes going back to hotel rooms easier.

I mostly use AirBnb in Europe, and have had good experiences. If I'm in a place < 2 nights though, I'll do a hotel.
I posted this in another thread where the entire thread got flagged. This response on medium is scary and demonstrates what I’m concerned about. At this point the left has gotten to a point where witch hunts, blacklisting, exclusion, and suggesting that people could acceptably be subject to violence, for thought crime are accepted and encouraged tactics.

I’m a closeted conservative in tech, hence the throwaway account. Some of what the manifesto said is overly broad or wrong headed, in particular at least from my perspective generalizing views held by conservatives on climate change and similar issues, but one thing in particular stood out:
The left and by extension Google do not tolerate diversity of viewpoint or worldview. Diversity of race or sex is viewed as critical but real diversity, that of the lens through which people view the world is to be stomped out with prejudice. If you don’t agree with the leftist secular view you are a bigot. If you are religious you must apologize for your bigotry and convince others it is only a social activity or something private that won’t affect how you behave or what you believe in other spheres.
As a conservative orthodox Catholic and a devotee of Saint Josemariá Escrivá, I feel like I have to hide my faith and my views. If people understood that my devotion to doing my work as perfectly and as generously as I can is driven by my desire to serve God and mankind they would be shocked and disappointed. Even worse, my views on the existence of an absolute unchanging morality would be viewed as bigotry even though I don’t advocate discrimination and am willing to happily work beside those who believe and practice differently. It is not enough that we work side by side and treat each other with respect, I must believe and accept leftist dogma in my heart or I am a bigot and I am unfit to write code, work with others, or function in a management role.
From my perspective the exclusion, demonization and intolerance from the left for those who dare to merely believe and live their own lives differently is terrifying. I don’t know how we come back from the current state of things to a liberal, open society where diversity of belief and viewpoint is prized.
My former co-worked, software developer, became manager at the retailer network Tesco :) It solved the interaction with people problem for him.
That's a strawman. The argument is not about the fact that there are chemical plants in cancer alley at all, it's about practices in chemical plants. Dumping waste is not a necessary result of producing chemicals.

Green chemistry[1] designs systems and reactions that don't produce waste. This can be as simple as reusing water or as complex as alternative reactions (as is the case for making nylon without nitric acid). In some cases green chemistry can even save money. You can also collect and use waste for other purposes or put it into long term storage eg using it as a filler in concrete. There is practically no such thing as useless waste, only coordination problems.

The only "problem" here is stopping people/companies from dumping into the ground and water.

> The irony is that one of the touted business case reasons for diversity is that it gives a diversity of perspectives and ideas, which can be useful to solving a problem. I agree with this analysis. If we listen to Yontan though, any team that has a member with a different perspective will be punched in the face. That's a very clear argument for homogenous teams, at least as long as you don't want a workplace with constant fistfights

Excluding people who have prejudices towards men and women does not mean you have "homogenous teams". It may mean you have fewer conservatives.

Also, some folks' ideas are so extreme that they exclude others' rights. We've seen this throughout history with conservatives. Working rights, voting rights, and marriage rights.

The woman who denied gay marriage licenses did it on the basis that her right to express her religion was being infringed upon. Who's being exclusive there? The woman, or the gay men who wanted to get married?
Show HN: Mirror Wikipedia, Gutenberg and Stack Overflow on Sandstorm.io with Kiwix
Just published on the Sandstorm app market:

https://apps.sandstorm.io/app/5uh349d0kky2zp5whrh2znahn27gwh...

Note that I take no credit for Kiwix (http://kiwix.org/) itself. As is common for Sandstorm, I merely created the Sandstorm package, and also the onboarding and uploading interface since Kiwix's web server had none. However I have been in contact with Kiwix and they seem to like the idea. Hopefully soon they will officially put this package under their umbrella.

My hope down the line is to see Sandstorm as a one-stop shop for server needs in an "off the grid" network, be it in a low connectivity part of the world, or an independent mesh network. One thing that I felt was missing was an easy way to host a local copy of popular open data. (Kiwix-serve already existed on its own, but I thought Sandstorm could make it easier to administer).

For now, anyone who just likes to have a copy of this stuff at home, now there's an option to do it on Sandstorm. Any feedback would be appreciated! (Particularly any UX pain points.)

That said in the west you are likely not going to be needing magnum sizes either.

The regular size is well within average girth and we'll over the average length the regular size for most brands is 18-19cm from the base ring to the tip(there are ISO standards for Condoms :)), unless you are measuring yourself from your anus you aren't likely to need anything longer than that.

AirBnB is significantly different from those B&Bs in that with B&Bs, you had to interact with the family, that family may have scrutinized your coming and going, and you had to eat their food which may have been inferior to other local dining options. Now that AirBnB is dominated by people renting out a flat that they themselves don’t live in, your only interaction with the owner is just picking up the keys (and a lot of AirBnB hosts you never actually see, since they leave the keys somewhere for you to pick up).

I love staying in various cities for prolonged amounts of time and soaking up local culture, but I definitely don’t want to be forced to interact with the proprietors. I’d rather just get out into the city and interact with the people I choose. There is a lot more privacy and choice involved in AirBnB, which is essential to enjoyable travels.

Question for Kevin: Is there any way we as private citizens can help push the FDA forward on this?

Effective male contraceptives, even with side effects, could alleviate a lot of suffering.
