Is it an official Rubik's one or some other brand? I've got about 15 of them (Mostly from QiYi and GAN) and all of them have the yellow/white opposite. Of course they're all made within the last 5 years so maybe it changed at some point.

A slide will usually have a generalization of the point that the speaker is making, not a word for word rehash of everything he says.

Really? I've been working with it for nearly 4 years now, and I haven't had any problems getting it to what I needed it to do. I wonder what problems that it wasn't "built for" have you had problems implementing?
Also, while scaling may be a non-trivial challenge, going to over ~100,000 page views a day (95% are between 8am - 6pm) was pretty easy, and very little fuss.

I don't think i really understand the article. Why is he blasting the lady for helping out at a Soup Kitchen and having a nervous habit? I don't see how her saying, "Y'all hungry tonight?" would be any different than say, playing with her hair or biting her nails. She was obviously out of her element while trying to help out. Instead of ranting about her on the intertubes, why not try to help her feel more comfortable? That way she may feel more inclined to help out again.

I bought alcoholicsunanimo.us awhile back as an idea for a service to prevent drinking problems. You know you have a drinking problem if you drink alone, so you can send a txt to alcoholicsunanimo.us and let everyone know you want to drink, and need someone to drink with, and voilà! drinking problem solved.
