Reply to comment by JuicyPancakeBooty in Eli5: what’s the difference between a graduate and undergraduate degree by deadpuppy101
In the U.S., at least, associate's degrees tend to have a specific vocation as the goal of attaining the degree. In recent decades some schools (generally for-profits) have earned associate's degrees a bad reputation here, though I'm sure the usefulness of different associate's degrees varies from field to field. There are some jobs where an associate's is required for licensing or certification, and others it just looks good on a resume. Do a lot of research and talk to people in the field before pursuing an associate's is the advice I would give (and frankly applies to bachelor's and master's, too).

Halt and Catch Fire. Went from a wannabe Mad Men clone in its first season to a very thoughtful relationship-oriented show about a bunch of nearly successful failures in the tech world.

Reply to ELI5 why does taking a multi-vitamin on an empty stomach cause nausea, but something like Tylenol doesn’t? by sftysw
I was not aware that multivitamins had a tendency to cause nausea (they don't for me, personally). That said, I've been told that taking them on an empty stomach means it won't be absorbed nearly as well compared to with a meal. Perhaps the absorption and nausea are related?

Reply to A Eulogy for Dark Sky, a Data Visualization Masterpiece by semicausal
Dark Sky really was the best. While I wish the native iOS Weather app was much better (the way the radar/map is presented seems a decade behind where Dark Sky left off, for instance), I've also found that every other third-party app I've tried out has been even worse. Hopefully something new comes along that isn't immediately snapped up by a bigger company.
