Great looking interface! Would like to see an option to sort my brew history by rating though. No sense in searching through mediocre brews right?
My personal favorite:

I doubt taxes would be raised for that since the USPS is a quasi-independent "federal corporation" and therefore doesn't use tax dollars to sustain itself.

Check out the Science Club in DC. That's where the last Reddit-sponsored Drankkit event was held.

It looks like the author is aware of the similarity. His book this was adapted from is titled "Shop Class as Soulcraft: An Inquiry Into the Value of Work", no doubt a reference to the latter part of the title of Pirsig's novel "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values".

I'm surprised they didn't include an option to specify how many faces you want it to detect before taking the picture.

for someone who's been around computers as long as he has, it's surprising that pg's only reactions around them are either happily surprised or insanely angry.

well, in this instance you could upvote the dupe in the hopes that more people will see it on the front page. on a slightly related note, i've noticed these days that the posts with higher numbers of votes depend not only on the quality of the content, but also the reputation of the submitter.
Re:How to game the U.S. higher-education system on Sunday February 08, 2009 @10:26PM (#472891)
The path this article prescribes is almost identical to my own story, and so far I strongly agree that financially it makes a lot of sense (although there are cases where this may not necessarily be true, based on tsally's comment).

The only difference in my own personal path from the article's is that before coming to grad school I worked for two years in a position that was extremely relevant to what I wanted to study. Not only did I make enough money to pay off my undergrad debt, but I also gained a great recommendation from my boss (who was a PhD, which helps a lot) as well as an interesting story to add to my personal statement when applying to grad school.
