Answer to If your significant other could pick one thing about you to change, what would he or she want to change?

Thu, 25 Mar 2010 12:38:04 -0700

If your significant other could pick one thing about you to change, what would he or she want to change?

I think my wife would either make me eat more vegetables (so that she could experiment more in the kitchen more easily), or make me a bit shorter. (We're more than a foot apart.)

Answer to Being a parent has been the most fun thing I've ever experienced. Is the same true for those of you who are parents?

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 11:03:01 -0800

Being a parent has been the most fun thing I've ever experienced. Is the same true for those of you who are parents?

Yes. It's also the hardest thing. I adore my kids, and I enjoy the time I spend with them. I'm pleased by how much their mere existence affects my day-to-day existence, and I generally like who I am while I'm with them, which is also nice. But the good times we share are so good, and watching...

Tue, 02 Mar 2010 13:48:03 -0800

Before you answer a question, you notice the poster has not signed on in over 6 months. Do you still answer it?

Definitely! Folks get emailed when their questions get answered, so that might bring them back. What's more, that question will live on AB forever. Maybe someone *else* will stumble upon it later, and I want to ensure that whoever it is gets to see the answer they may have been searching for,...

Answer to You time travel to Munich, 1930. In a bar, a man talks loudly to his friends. It's Hitler. A 45 is in your pocket. Could you kill him?

Tue, 02 Mar 2010 05:17:29 -0800

You time travel to Munich, 1930. In a bar, a man talks loudly to his friends. It's Hitler. A 45 is in your pocket. Could you kill him?

It's tricky. I would certainly consider it, but as Moongrim references, then my entire existence is put into question. If I killed Hitler in 1930, then what motivated my going back to the past in 2010 to do so? Do I get stuck in 1930, or vanish from existence? If I vanish from existence, that...

Answer to Why do black people have white finger tips?

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 07:02:05 -0800

Why do black people have white finger tips?

Evolutionarily, no one needs especially dark skin on fingertips or soles of the feet. Note that with Caucasians, often the palm of the hand, fingertips, and soles are a lighter shade than the rest of the skin. The body makes less pigment in people of all races at those areas, since...

Answer to Can a VIN # tell date of production ? Not just year but when was made?

Tue, 23 Feb 2010 14:13:01 -0800

Can a VIN # tell date of production ? Not just year but when was made?

The tenth character in the VIN will tell you the year it was made. If it’s “8,” then the car is a 2008. If it’s “0,” then it's a 2010. VINs don't get more specific. Sites like carfax.com can tell you a bit more from the VIN.

Answer to How come in the new "questions you might be able to answer", there are mostly my own questions? Would I ask if I could answer?

Tue, 23 Feb 2010 13:36:02 -0800

How come in the new "questions you might be able to answer", there are mostly my own questions? Would I ask if I could answer?

That means you tend to ask questions in categories that you also frequently answer questions. We'll make the system smarter over time, so that it doesn't show you your own questions.

Answer to How effective is hostility when you want to communicate? Does it enhance/extend communication or abort it before it begins?

Tue, 23 Feb 2010 12:40:35 -0800

How effective is hostility when you want to communicate? Does it enhance/extend communication or abort it before it begins?

I'm definitely of the school of thought that hostility is totally unproductive for constructive communication. When you communicate with anger, you get your message across, but also present yourself as completely unable to hear the other viewpoint(s).

Answer to Parent: which threat against the well-being of today's teenage population is of most concern to you? Why?

Tue, 23 Feb 2010 09:54:26 -0800

Parent: which threat against the well-being of today's teenage population is of most concern to you? Why?

Obviously, I want nothing bad for my kids. But as bad as some of these things are, my primary concern is lifelong/permanent damage to them or their psyches, which substance abuse can lead to more than anything else on this list.

Mon, 22 Feb 2010 14:16:42 -0800

Come next year, what late night show will you be watching?

If I'm watching any, it'll be Conan's... But the truth of the matter is I rarely watch late-night television anymore. There are only so many hours in the day, y'know?

Answer to What do you think of gossip shows such as 'The Insider', 'Extra', 'TMZ', etc.?

Mon, 22 Feb 2010 14:15:43 -0800

What do you think of gossip shows such as 'The Insider', 'Extra', 'TMZ', etc.?

I don't watch any of them, but I will admit to subscribing to TMZ's RSS feed. Now that they've repeatedly broken big, interesting stories (Mel Gibson's DUI, Michael Jackson's death, Michael Richard's rant), TMZ strikes me as a legitimate news feed. There's a little too much garbage to sort...

Mon, 22 Feb 2010 13:08:50 -0800

Who liked the old AB better than new 1? ?'s should be allowed 2B longer.Score should Bdisplayed 2. Thoughts?

I'm obviously biased. I like the new one more. For one, you could have made this question a poll on the new site, which wasn't even an option on the old site. That would allow us to see at a glance the number of people who preferred one or the other. Second, the briefer questions overall seem...

Answer to The Office: American or British version?

Mon, 22 Feb 2010 11:48:52 -0800

The Office: American or British version?

It's a very close race. But shows excel in unique and extreme ways. Ricky Gervais is one of the funniest people on the planet. That said, The US Office has way more hours of comedy. While the UK version may have a better batting average, the US version has hit more home runs.

I was just thinking about this -- great question. There are some foods I absolutely love: chocolate peanut butter ice cream, Kentucky Fried Chicken, crispy duck, mac & cheese, butternut squash soup in a bread bowl, honey mustard on many things... If I had to pick just one, and I didn't have to...

Answer to Are you disappointed with Lost's final season so far?

Wed, 17 Feb 2010 05:49:18 -0800

Are you disappointed with Lost's final season so far?

To me, it feels like the writers are really spinning their wheels unnecessarily. They are very, very hesitant to reveal answers, which can only mean two things to me: 1. They're concerned that the audience won't like them, so they're saving them till the final episode to keep viewership up...

Answer to What do you think about schools in New Orleans and Indiana delaying and closing school Monday because of the Super Bowl?

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 12:32:55 -0800

What do you think about schools in New Orleans and Indiana delaying and closing school Monday because of the Super Bowl?

Great question. I'm of two minds here. One is that it's harmless overall: The kids will miss an hour or two of school, but will get to go in more refreshed (if they stay up till the end of the game) than if they'd had to be there on time. We're going to get a big snowstorm where I live; that...

Answer to Does LASIK surgery last forever?

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 07:26:18 -0800

Does LASIK surgery last forever?

I can personally attest that the effects aren't permanent, but they are long-lasting. My LASIK procedure was back in March 2003. In late 2009, I learned that one eye had slipped from 20/20 to 20/25, and one eye had slipped from 20/15 to 20/20. Those are very slight changes, and not worth getting...

Fri, 29 Jan 2010 12:59:46 -0800

Is it better to a have a “tax guy” or just use a computer program?

I swear by my tax guy. Of course, I have kids and work in a different state from my employer and each year it seems like there's some new complexity. I think you need to decide what the issue is: 1. Do you need help prepping your taxes because you don't know how? or, 2. Do you want help...

Honestly now... Do You believe that people who have children are somehow better than those who don't and don't want to? (poll)

Often people who decide that they don't want to have children seem to be making the correct decision for themselves, which I applaud. Regardless, whether someone has kids or not has no correlation to that person's goodness, if you ask me!

Answer to After the question text, there are sometimes links like: "Related: answerbag, questioning"? How do those "related tags" work?

Thu, 24 Dec 2009 07:42:11 -0800

After the question text, there are sometimes links like: "Related: answerbag, questioning"? How do those "related tags" work?

The "related tags" are algorithmically-driven. They're meant to help us group related questions by tag, in addition to category. We're aiming to trim down the category tree early in 2010. So instead of many many categories, we'll have far fewer, and turn the extras into additional tags. ...

Interesting question. "Hide and Seek," a 2005 film with Robert DeNiro and Dakota Fanning, had its ending shipped on a separate reel to avoid anyone leaking the surprise twist ending. I don't know if that's the *most* secrecy, but it was the biggest secrecy ever employed by 20th...
