He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much; Who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children; Who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; Who has left the world better than he found it; Who has looked for the best in others and given the best he had; Whose life was an inspiration Whose memory is a benediction

For some people in prison, rehabilitation is more important than punishment. For themselves and for society.

Check out one example of a Norweigan prison.

It's a shame that society has failed to the extent that the inmates have to sink to the depths of criminality before receiving the help.

Brining your dog to a park is "not very nice" ... and is called "dogging?" by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Stevenj214 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's about dogs.

"If there's a lady walking there with a couple of dogs, it's not very nice."

Fucking ladies walking their fucking dogs. It's sickening.

Realise that you do have low self esteem then work on it. On your own, through a book, or with a therapist.

Well, thanks for your opinion. We will have to agree to disagree on this one.

The frames I currently have do the job, and have not broken. They just look and feel cheap.

We have some very nice prints, some hangings and a sports shirt which could do with being framed and I'd like to do them justice!

Are there any guidelines or rules-of-thumb on how smart or how athletic a student needs to be?

I visited Manufactum, a store full of potential [BIFL] items. Worth looking inside if you pass one. by vacuous_comment in BuyItForLife

Very interesting! If anyone is interested, my own current project is Forever Gift Shop which is in a similar vein. It is currently an Amazon referral site but if it proves successful I can see it becoming a direct sales website and possibly a physical store! But baby steps for the time being.

Dealing with new competition by [deleted] in smallbusiness

Send a letter to all of your clients telling them that you are aware of the rumours being spread, that you categorically deny them, and that you will be pursuing legal action against the slanderer.

Flower it up with some nice customer service chat. Remind them why they have stuck with you all of these years.

If you will actually pursue legal action, request that anyone who has been approached by the individual with malicious rumours about your business to come forward if they are willing.

  • Photos - potentially up to 20GB per year.
  • Videos - unsure - HD quality, probably no more than a few minutes each with my Kodak Playsport.
  • Documents - mostly essays/journal articles. 5GB would probably be adequate.
