Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.

Comment preview: The idea is that when you look at quantum information it's very possible that you mess it up by looking at it. The experiment is demonstrating a way to correct what we mess up by looking at what got messed up or the process that messed it up. Think of a sp ....


Comment preview: A learning party isn't just for *you* to learn, it's for everyone, and there needs to be an expectation that some will learn more slowly than others. I don't know about you, but when I'm learning, here's how the progession goes for me: * Mess up a mecha ....


Comment preview: Just also want to note that you'd **never** catch a guy doing something like this. Men fully understand the consequences of their actions and don't create full-on drama like this. This is inherently and strictly a female trait. I've had a fucking ....


Comment preview: Just don't fuck stuff up, basically. More specifically: Put your trash in the garbage can. If you're staying over, actually put your luggage on the stand thing (usually in the closet) so we don't have to vaccuum around your stuff. If you DO happen to make ....


Comment preview: First, I don't consider that indentation. I consider that alignment. Tabs don't mess up indentation. They MAY mess up alignment when used after some other text in a line (e.g. int<tab>count;) Wrapping a long function is never messed up using tabs ....


Comment preview: I've had stuff like that happen too. Where I work, the gift shop constantly gets messed up because of lazy people (you know the type, picks something up to look at it only to set it down 2 seconds later in a spot as far from in front of them as they can.) ....


Comment preview: There's something really important about playing for an audience: Most of them won't notice if you mess up. There was a thread recently about "what was your bigger mess-up at a gig?". Most of the histories involved the users messing something and then find ....


Comment preview: Everything is tailored to maleness. Men are the default. Women are special interest. This comes with a host of issues. Men have been the history makers throughout all of time, the most prominent figures in science, war, art, music, literature, politics...w ....


Comment preview: From reading these comments and doing some research on the net its seems Chris came back from his tours and was really messed up in the head - like reallly messed up in the head. Maybe just maybe his severe PTSD led him to start making up his own reality. ....


Comment preview: To work. So, I have this one student. He's older than most of my students, and I'm the youngest teacher on campus, so he thinks he can try to ruffle my feathers. Mostly it's in the form of flirting, other times its getting way into my personal space and as ....


Comment preview: The Wikipedia page will tell you more about it, an a lot of the crazier posts here have hit the nail on the head. You wanted weird? Tor is the place to get it. I've never tried it myself for fear of what I might stumble upon, but I have hear some messed up ....


Comment preview: Oh they did. They realized that for the most problems the human user has with Gnome, the human user is directly responsible by messing up himself. So they had to restrict the number of ways the humans user can mess up by limiting what the humans user can d ....


Comment preview: The comments in this thread bum me out a bit. You both have messed up. You messed up by not telling him about this right away and explaining that's why your sex life changed. HE messed up by doing things like >he's got this smug look on his face and he' ....


Comment preview: This is a great story, please keep us informed. Just for balance here are some possible rational explanations: - Michael hates you and is messing with you - Someone else is messing with you (hidden camera show, etc) - Vodaphone messed up and put you onto a ....


Comment preview: >Just that something was missing and she messed up. 'Messed up' might work for a one time mistake that she confesses right away. It isn't 'messing up' when you have an extended affair that only ends when you finally confirm what you've been fearing for ....


Comment preview: From what I can tell, Gordon Ramsay is a very nice guy who has absolutely no patience for disrespect, or professional chefs who mess things up. If you are actually serving food to others and are a professional chef, he will scream at you for messing up. if ....


Comment preview: It sounds like it hasn't fully sunk in yet how utterly messed up this is. He keeps making excuses and you keep buying them. Your husband does not have to listen to Dannielle. He is a grown up who can make his own decisions. This is an unbelievably selfi ....


Comment preview: The only one of these I really found messed up was the Uub one, where he vanished abruptly to train him...otherwise: * 1: Accident, kinda messed up, but still an accident. * 2: He had to go quickly...it wasn't really a bad father thing. * 3: This one was a ....


Comment preview: I don't think he has much guilt over taking the guy's life. I'm fairly certain, that in the same circumstances, I'd have no guilt over it. EDIT: I'm NOT saying I'd want to kill a person (for any reason) or that I'm some sort of wanna-be sociopathic action ....


Comment preview: I did this once and unfortunately had to use it. Like the others, I deployed the web app and then had my access removed without payment or compensation. After I set the killswitch off (deleting crucial parts of the app needed to run including files & ....


Comment preview: I used to work at a grocery store and one day, an entire endcap of IBC rootbeer in the glass bottes fell and shattered on the floor. That sticky disaster was everywhere. In response, I attempted to cordon off the area so that nobody would walk through it, ....


Comment preview: Meet fellow guitar player. Me: "Hey man, wanna play something" Them: "Yeah, lets do it!" Me: "Have you been playing for a while?" Them: (loudly playing the first 3 bars of a well-known song, stops, butchers a SRV Vaughn lick, stops, begins doing volume swe ....


Comment preview: Not gonna lie, the transition is... weird. It's like if you spent your whole life on land, then tried to walk on a ship at sea. Sure, you've been out on the water before. Maybe you've even lived out on the water - kayaking dangerous rapids, surfing massive ....


Comment preview: So, my dad is an engineer, a programmer and a mechanic, so I know how to handle myself around computers and cars. He made sure of that the summer before I went to college. Computer fucks up? Most errors will have a code, or you can at least identify what p ....


Comment preview: Actually, I have ADHD and a lot of self discipline. In fact, I think I may even be more disciplined than most people I know. But I still fuck up, even with my medication. I think the issue is that because of the way my mind works, I need far **more** of it ....
