Traveling for pleasure: no jetlag. I keep my schedule vague, so when at my destination, I wake up and sleep at times my body feels are appropriate
Traveling for business: jetlag sucks. It's typical that I have to be awake early the next morning for work. And then people usually want to go drinking in the evenings (I try to avoid this as much as possible, but still feel obligated to socially be part of the team), meaning that my body must conform to the assigned schedule. It protests.

When I was a kid, I didn't have the hand-eye coordination to beat the tough video games. Cheat codes (and I include things like warp zones in this category) allowed me to beat the game and feel cool. When I was older, and decided to dust some of these games off, playing the whole way through without cheating provided a new level of fun. I suspect that cheat codes helped make games appealing to players of different abilities.

I believe the code was Ctrl-Alt-W, which allowed you to instantly win the game. It was awesome because of how pointless it was. It brought you to the final scenes of the game. In one of them, a character's dialog was replaced with something like "I wonder why I'm standing here", because if you cheated you way to the end, you wouldn't know the story.

When companies like Zero and Brammo actually produce and sell electric motorcycles, it isn't news. But when Harley-Davidson announces that they will do the same at some point, it's big news.

That said, I do applaud this effort -- the more companies that make electric vehicles, the better.

If they don't know you, they'll probably leave you alone, and generally ignore whatever happens are your house. But if you know them, then they'll think of you as a person. If something suspicious is happening at your house, they'll call your cell phone to let you know. (And hopefully, you'd do the same for them.) If you get an alarm, tell them, and ask them to call you (or the police) if it's ever going off.

And with that, the Hipster Nerd is born. You're not a real nerd. You don't enjoy science correctly. I was a nerd before it was cool.

There is not one single kind of nerd. Deal with it. Also, we're talking about fictional characters in a television show.

Still works fine... and a quick glance on amazon shows it's still worth what I paid for it more than 10 years ago.

Or is sabbatical a more accurate term? I've left, gone on to study an unrelated field, and came back to my original field. I'm sure I'll do it several more times in my life.

I figured filing online made sense. But I didn't find a clear option. There were choices that require I make less than a certain amount of money to use. There were choices that direct me to 3rd party sites. Is the IRS really so inept that it can't show me a way to file online that isn't more complicated than printing my own 1040s?

It's odd that irs.gov is generally well-organized, such that I can find any PDF form I might need without trouble. Why can't it be equally obvious how to submit?

I own a pebble, and wear it every day. I love it for notifications -- I can tell who's calling/texting/e-mailing me, and thus decide if I feel like taking my phone out to interact with them.

But I would never use it to initiate anything. If I want to check the weather, place a call, do a google search, etc., then I'll use my phone -- no matter how good a watch's resolution is, it's just too small to do those things effectively.

Who would benefit from using a UTC as you describe?

People making conference calls across time zones? I don't think that UTC would make that easier. I know that most people are awake and at work at 11am local time, so I can schedule a conference at that time. But if we used UTC, I would need a chart to know what the working hours are in each time zone so I don't accidentally schedule a conference for a time that people are usually asleep.

Does it make it easier for travelers? Not really -- each time I'm in a new time zone, I have to learn what time to set my alarm clock to wake up at a normal hour.

The people I expect would benefit the most from a UTC would be those who live in the border of time zones, and regularly cross it, or interact with people in the other time zone. However, to be blunt, as a percentage of the whole, there aren't a lot of people in that situation - I don't think we should change solely for their benefit.

Or is there a scenario I'm missing?

Or, if you don't need a piece of paper, you can just find classes that interest you, and take them.

Where I work, tuition reimbursement exists if you are enrolled in a degree or certificate program -- it's much harder to get the company to pay for a single class. For that reason alone, graduate certificates are great.

I suppose a person could post a video to youtube, and then misplace/delete the original.

I read the book, so I can't un-read it before watching the movie. However, I did my best to consider what it would be like if I didn't. And I felt all of the characters were incredibly flat. At no point was I convinced that Ender was particularly intelligent (at least no more than the other kids), nor did I see that he had any particular insight into anything. He just won at stuff because his name is in the title of the movie.

I believe this movie would have been much better if it followed the book less closely. They didn't do a great job with the initial setup, and the monitor, etc., and would have been better to cut it entirely. Same with Ender returning to Earth. Cutting details like this would have given more time for some actual character development during battle school.
