What would you put in a meal if wanted something special from each US state?

Jump

  • Grind up one of every official state bird, and make it into a hot dog.

    • It's true...

    Jump

  • Still not enough info. The race is legally a tie if the times are within a certain (I think a millisecond) interval, and with runners this similar in ability, the probability that nobody wins is non-zero.

    • What is something that was once well respected that is now not?

    Jump

  • Gottingen University

    • Do employers actually know or care about lying on resume?

    Jump

  • Employers love it because it gives them plausible legal cover for two essential freedoms:

    If they like you anyway, they can hire you and defend any discrimination claims with the fact that you had the strongest resume.

    Whenever they stop liking you, they can expose the lie and fire you on the spot for good cause.

    So really, it's a win-win situation for both you and your prospective employer.

    • What’s your dumbest app idea

    Jump

  • A Braille-to-speech app. Point the camera at the Braille part of a sign, and be told what it says.

    Intended user base: Users who can't read due to sight impairment, can't read Braille directly either for whatever reason, and couldn't find a general-purpose OCR app capable of reading the ordinary text.

    • ??? ???

    Jump

  • All the potheads in my class knew exactly how many grams are in an eighth of an ounce.

    • What's with the corporate obsession with customer feedback?

    Jump

  • They don't deserve my opinion if they're that irresponsible with the data. I just stopped doing them when I learned that.

    • What is something that sounds 100% false but is actually 100% true?

    Jump

  • Exactly. It's merely our human preference for those types of files that allow them to work at all.

    • What is something that sounds 100% false but is actually 100% true?

    Jump

  • Regardless which lossless compression algorithm you prefer, it makes most files bigger.

    *where "files" includes all bitstrings of a given length, whether or not they've ever existed

    • Do you use adblock? Why? Why not?

    Jump

  • If I don't block ads, then I'm stealing from the advertiser who's paying per impression to someone who isn't interested in their crap.

    If the ad makes noise, moves around the screen, crashes my browser, or otherwise actively interferes with my ability to obtain the information I was looking for, It'll leave me with such a negative impression that I won't buy anything from that brand, now or ever -- or from the creator who allowed them to break an otherwise good website.

    So really, by blocking ads, I'm defending the good reputation of both creators and their sponsors.

    • OceanGate listed job posting for ‘submersible pilot’ during doomed Titan rescue efforts

    Jump

  • Experience with bankruptcy law preferred

    • Why did you choose your instance?

    Jump

  • I was told it was better for load balancing if we didn't all use the same one. So I just looked for one that had easy signups and didn't seem overeager to block stuff. Apparently, some from this instance come form /r/china. I'm not, but I do drink coffee. Anyway, I think it's working out so far; better than reddit anyway.
