What rule or rules would you add to the ten commandments of web etiquette?
They’re semi-famous now, but it was actually a friend of mine who originally wrote them. They’re a list of ten rules of thumb to go by when using the internet. They imply things like the potential drawbacks of assuming someone’s other identities, how to caution against archive forgery, when the best time is to complain...

How do you feel you've aged?
Are you radically different than your younger self? Are there key elements that have stayed the same? Most parts? Do you feel as if you've followed the "roadmap of life" or forged your own path?

[Serious] Best Pee Strat
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I need some advice. Tomorrow at 16:00 I need to pee into a cup at the doctor’s office for a drug test and I am a very shy pee-er.

I travel a lot, and talk to a lot of different people. I’ve noticed that while people certainly do have differing opinions, it’s not as extreme as what I see online.
