The babysitting thing is the most annoying to me. Why do so many people say a father is "babysitting" when he's watching his own kids? That's just parenting, dude, you'd never call it that if you were talking about a mother.

And Thomas Malory, writer of Le Morte d'Arthur - which is probably one of the most influential tales of knighthood as well as the most important love triangle in the Western canon - was imprisoned for rape.

But there as a man's heart is set, he will be loath to return.

I think it's a question of what copyright laws should/are about. I was told once that originally copyright laws were designed to protect creators and encourage them to keep creating. Modern copyright laws seem to be much more about protecting corporate rights than protecting creators or creativity.

An Ancient Greek epigram:

You, walking by on the path, if perhaps you notice this memorial
do not laugh, please, because it is a dog's tomb,
I was mourned - the hands of my master covered me with dust
and he wrote these words on my gravestone.

The dependency one seems like a real flaw in the legal system. If he raised those kids from infancy and they thought he was their father, why does it even matter that they aren't biologically his?

Reading through the other posts and comments on the reddit thread is just... really depressing. Informative, but god, so awful. I guess it's good to know that at least some of these lawyers regret what they've done.

I used to work at an upscale bridal boutique, we even carried the official Disney wedding gowns for a while (which, by the way, look nothing like the dresses of the character they're supposed to evoke). It was a disheartening experience. These brides came in quite a few times (choosing dress, showing their choice to family/friends, measuring, multiple fittings, testing accessories, etc). It was amazing how much I got to know about their lives, their drama with their bridesmaids, their hairstyles and wedding colors and a million other things. These women and their parents were dropping thousands (oh you absolutely need this $700 sash! These are REAL swarovski crystals!), but I never ever heard a word about the groom.

I'm not saying that there aren't men out there who want Cinderella themed weddings. I just think this whole "it's the bride's day" mentality is a little ridiculous. Also, I felt bad for a number of brides and parents who felt so much pressure to pull off an elaborate wedding (REAL swarovski crystals! - it's glass, guys, no one is going to tell the difference if it's off-brand) that they took on more debt than they could handle.

I wonder if someone thought of testing this when their archer fish kept spitting at them and not anyone else.

I have a very hard time recognizing faces, it's a little sad that fish are better than me when I've walked past my own friends and relatives without realizing who they were.

This seems very unethical.

The article points out that the doctor has worked on several geriatric patients which seems to be aiming for press, rather than concerns about quality of life for the parents or children. Also this: “People say, what will happen to the child once we die. But I have full faith in God. God is omnipotent and omnipresent, he will take care of everything.” Not a responsible parenting strategy.

I read something once about how birthrates in China fall on the fourth of each month because its unlucky and that a similar thing happens in the US for Halloween. I wonder if the same thing happens at Christmas? Though I did know a couple who were both pastors who had their child's birth induced on Christmas...

Bad article!
Tips like add more salt and start with the thing that takes the longest don't really require a line cooks expertise.
Also, I've read from multiple sources that the "don't flip meat" thing is false:
http://www.seriouseats.com/2013/07/the-food-lab-flip-your-steaks-and-burgers-multiple-times-for-better-results.html
I think it really only applies when you're trying to get the most aesthetically appealing grill marks and has nothing to do with "every time the meat is moved it loses some of that juicy flavor."
