GotAnyMegadeth··on What I've been up to for the past year
Agreed. Good music is 100% subjective, good apps are at least partially objective.
GotAnyMegadeth··on Autopsy of a failed side project
Perhaps the Record Labels believe that a differentiator between buying a CD and downloading for free is the lyrics book that comes with (most) CDs.
GotAnyMegadeth··on Rap Stats: Breaking Down The Words in Rap Lyrics Over Time
Although there is a whole sub-genre where that is the case, it is neither one of the current most popular sub-genres, or a sub-genre that the majority of the current most popular bands play. Folk metal and friends have had their day for now. Various spin-offs of metalcore and deathcore, along with the dying djent, seem to rule at the moment, I reckon.

GotAnyMegadeth··on A 3D printed toothbrush for all your teeth
One of the parents at my school took a bullet for the rest of the team and let her son not brush his teeth. They became black, holey and disgusting, and I imagine quite painful. Everyone in school knew that that's what happened if you didn't brush your teeth. Worked on me and my brothers, and I remember the kids in my class boasting about how long they brushed their teeth for.

GotAnyMegadeth··on What I would have written
Partly, but also for communicating. I haven't ever used a feed aggregatior so I'm not sure if there are any other differences...

I also use the trending topics on Twitter to follow the 'real' news. Can you do that in an aggregator, or do you need to have preselected the websites you want to hear from?

GotAnyMegadeth··on What I would have written
My main passion is Heavy Metal. As a consumer, I use Twitter to keep up to date with tours, releases, news by following bands and music media. I use it to interact with bands.

I also have a band which has a Twitter account which is used to keep people up to date as mentioned above, and I have a music blog twitter account which I use to review gigs etc...

I have a pretty good Metal Twitter list here if anyone is interested: https://twitter.com/ColinHugh/lists/metal-news

GotAnyMegadeth··on My Daughter’s Homework Is Killing Me
Unless the homework doesn't directly affect your grades, i.e. your teacher makes sure you've done it and then throws it away, like at my school.
GotAnyMegadeth··on My Daughter’s Homework Is Killing Me
Yes it does. I got As in Maths, Physics and Electronics and a B in General Studies which is a joke compulsory subject that tested your writing skills.

Interesting: I would say "I took four subjects", and you say "I gave four subjects". Never heard that before!

GotAnyMegadeth··on My Daughter’s Homework Is Killing Me
If you mean, how to avoid homework, I wasn't taught any of it, it was all stuff I learnt throughout my schooling life.
GotAnyMegadeth··on My Daughter’s Homework Is Killing Me
Agreed. Though I wasn't saying I cheated to get my grades or that they were artificially inflated, just that I avoided homework. In my school your homework grades never counted towards you actual grades, and if your homework wasn't going to teach you something, what is the point?
GotAnyMegadeth··on My Daughter’s Homework Is Killing Me
You had to recite a pledge of allegiance? Wow. Sounds like North Korea.
