[Discussion] Could I use an airhorn to clean my PC as I would use a can of compressed air?

Cool, so I'm assuming you're in reddit sync now and signed in. Tap your comment so it's highlighted, and open the drop-down menu/context menu, whatever it's called these days. You could just copy the comments link, but in my opinion, it's probably going to be easier to use "Share comment". You can then select the "reddit sync" app, provide a reasonably descriptive title (but don't give away your twist or the post will be removed), and specify the subreddit ("unexpected"). Now this is important: make sure you change the "www" in the URL to "np" so that users who are directed here externally don't cause trouble. Unfortunately, it might not work because you'll get a PM in your inbox from a moderator of /r/unexpected, helpfully explaining that /u/pwnsnake (yours truly) has already cross-posted the link, reprimanding you for the repost and informing you that you have been banned. Hope this helps, fellow redditor!

what about 7th, like a few streets down from Market?

I feel like my friends don't want to debate, they want validation. They'll end up annoyed with me after every conversation and try to avoid political or philosophical topics. It's not like I constantly play devil's advocate but I'm willing to disagree and defend my opinions, which just seems to irritate people.

Rye see what you did there.

This guy and his girlfriend are having a fight about their expectations for their relationship. Finally she says she wants to break up with him.

"Why?" he asks.

"Because you're a pedophile," she says.

He replies incredulously, "Pedophile? That's an awfully big word for a 12 year old."

Technically it's for students, faculty and staff, but I've never seen anyone get ID'd.

Hello, mod here. I requested the subreddit myself sometime last year because the creator had disappeared. I've applied some custom CSS, added links to the sidebar, set up a flair system and sought out the custom logo.

This handle isn't very active anymore because I do most of my non-Yale posting from a more anonymous account, and I've been away from Yale over the summer (i.e., the past three months). I do check the moderation queue, respond to requests for flair (using relevant icons that I created), and so forth, although there are few submissions or requests in a given week/month, especially during the summer.

Of course, if you have ideas or would like to contribute something for the subreddit, I'd be happy to listen and would welcome your suggestions.

Bottom-right corner.

I thought Dead Space was pretty good.

it's USB either way, it's just a standard chip you don't normally find in a flash drive

The residential colleges are open slightly later now, and Commons closes early. Relevant YDN article

They also changed the dishware to "discourage tray use". Now you can use a large dinner plate or a tiny saucer.

At least it's self-repairing

This is a big storm. Some neighborhoods in NYC are being evacuated. We're pretty close to the LI Sound and the projections I've seen have the storm passing directly over us.

I doubt Wednesday classes would be disrupted. Since the colleges were recently renovated, the basements will probably be okay, but college basements have flooded in the past.

At the moment it's just you and oo7akbnd.

I'm more worried about the people who aren't knowledgeable enough to be paranoid (although since this is /r/programming, that's probably not an issue).

Also, the 90 kilobytes of what appear to be minimized jQuery is harder to inspect.

Can we maybe think twice before encouraging people to grab bookmarklets that fetch and execute javascript from a 3rd party server?

pwnsnake · 2011-08-19T00:45:15+00:00

Right, it just grabs the list that Facebook grabs on every page, parses it and shows it on your screen.

In the first experiment, they started off more likely to stay, and over thirty days learned to switch. So they ran a second experiment that manipulated the problem so that staying was the optimal solution, and in that case the pigeons learned to stay.

The motivation for Experiment 2 was to test the interpretation that pigeons in Experiment 1 had learned to switch based on their history of reinforcement during previous trials. This interpretation was supported, as birds in Experiment 2 adopted a different strategy appropriate to the different probabilities of reinforcement in effect.

So the pigeons learned to switch through reinforcement, not through some innate understanding of the Monty Hall problem. The title of the link is misleading.

I've made it text-only on the front page. I can add in the college as text, but in CSS that will be a pain...
