t3hSpork··on Ask HN: Is there a Hacker News but for general news?
Personally, I love Fark:

http://www.fark.com

Fark is meant to be links to non-news news articles, but has a large number of links to interesting articles and humorous rewritings of headlines.

I've been a Farker for 16 years.

t3hSpork··on Ask HN: How's your drinking problem?
A drinking problem is one where drinking contributes to you not fulfilling your responsibilities. For instance, if your job performance decreases, you get into some kind of legal trouble, or you don't pay your bills.

I've used this measure to check my drinking habits.

t3hSpork··on Does UPS routinely lie about delivery status?
That must be whats happening. The package, in these cases, always arrives the next day (third day).
t3hSpork··on Does UPS routinely lie about delivery status?
Twice i have noticed from USPS (of all companies) that they say delivered one day but it's not actually delivered. It could just be me and me not seeing it. It happened at work and there are a lot of deliveries regularly.

t3hSpork··on How can ISPs need more money for service when Netflix charges only $7.99?
I'd like to know how. I am confused. :) it just seems to me that Netflix pays for bandwidth and so does the ISP. And bandwidth use is what is at question here because its what the ISP is complaining customers use too much of.
t3hSpork··on "If you're over 30, you're a slow old man" – Zuckerberg. He turns 30 tomorrow.
I think there can be a certain inquisitiveness that those under 30 have which dwindles as one ages. I wouldn't say 30 is the point where that all breaks, but certainly he has a point. That inquisitiveness, I think, leads youngsters to try new things and come at problems from a new angle.
t3hSpork··on Alec Baldwin Broke Twitter?

t3hSpork··on Blocking people on Twitter now just mutes them
It also disallows the blockee following the blocker and blocks the blocker from seeing the blockees tweets.

I think the reasoning is that if someone @'s your username, you can see it. If you block them, you can’t see their tweets and thus can’t see their @'s and won’t be bothered by them. If your tweets are not private and if blocking prevented a user from seeing your tweets, they could simply log out and see your tweets; therefore any coded functionality that would block them from seeing your tweets is useless.

It's been like this for at least six months. It used to be you could tell that you had been blocked by getting an error when you try to expand a tweet, but now you can’t even tell that you have been blocked unless you try to follow the blocker.
