Small world, it's my hometown too! I had to do a double take when I saw the headline. My parents are still there but they're looking to leave. It's so different there than it was 20-30 years ago.
Well, and really I think it depends on the person rather than the degree. One of my friends majored in theater, which I'm sure many people see as a useless degree. She paid off her loans and bought a house within 3…
Completely agree on #1. It's turned into just blindly walking around and hoping you run into something. My SO and I played this past weekend and saw a porygon on the "sightings" list. We covered as much ground as fast…
Yes, I think of this comic whenever the GMO labeling debate comes up: http://i.imgur.com/NYKSHeV.jpg I think the author is overly hopeful that people will educate themselves on what GMO actually means.
This is absolutely done if the library has the time/resources to do so.
Right - "subjective assessment" being the key here. Hopefully each criteria is considered at least a little bit, but even experts are going to disagree on what's worthwhile to keep. Beyond that, many libraries out there…
Having worked in libraries for many years, weeding is a very contentious issue. Many patrons (and librarians!) have an emotional attachment to books, so to recycle them just feels wrong. Some libraries have resorted to…
I agree with you. My SO's family chose to stay at an airbnb for our wedding this fall so they could have kitchen access. On one hand it comes down to convenience - it's easier to buy a couple boxes of cereal and a…
I agree. Speaking from my own experience, I didn't even really understand what computer science was until I was in college (I'm female and from a small town). I had taken a "make your own website" summer class in grade…
Agreed. I should have emphasized that usually quotes fix it. They don't seem to every time for some reason.
Interesting, I just tried that. It's been a long time since I've searched for Amazone (that was just the first example that came to mind) but I don't remember seeing that in the past.
Yeah that's the one I had in mind.
I agree, and Amazone probably wasn't the best example. My point is that even when I search for something in quotes Google still autocorrects it (not talking specifically about Amazone here that was just one example I've…
This happens to me frequently. I've also noticed that sometimes the "Did you mean [this]?" or "Search instead for [this]" don't show up anymore, which can be a big problem. As an example, it's difficult to find…
Co-op living is pretty common in certain areas. I lived in a co-op last year and it worked out pretty well. Like any living situation, it had it's pros and cons Pros - Low cost. Was about $500/month and that included…

Oh dear - just put my own picture into that and it guessed I was 34 and my fiance 38...we're 25 and 26. Edit - tried a different pic, it guessed my fiance was 51.
I can assure you this is an issue librarians feel very strongly about. I've worked at a number of libraries and all of them would only retain borrowing records if the patron requested it.
I thought the same thing - I keep my grocery list in a Google Keep widget. I don't understand what the benefit is here.
