    My favorite "feature" of Chrome is the way it invites people to look through your browsing history every time they open a new tab, and there's no way to disable it. There used to b…

    Almost nothing you said is correct aside from your basic description of the procedure. Weight loss is rarely the primary goal of FMT and its efficacy in that realm remains unproven…

    > The kind that use proper spelling and punctuation, perhaps? Don't you mean "the kind who use proper spelling"? If you're going to correct someone, at least get it right.

    That title is mildly infuriating. Using the term "bomb" to refer to software when actual bomb threats have been made is the epitome of clickbait.

    They addressed that in the article that you're commenting on but didn't read.

    I stopped updating all my Google apps ~2 years ago because there were so many asinine, unintuitive UI changes with each new version. A lot of their changes didn't even conform to t…

    The guy never threatened to target children or reveal any information about them. Why is that so difficult for you to grasp?

    Not to mention the fact that Asparagirl has intentionally interpreted his comments in the most sensational way possible, even going so far as to fabricate threats. "Look into your …

    Your last 7 tweets were bashing Uber. You completely made up the "threatening to reveal the location of children" part. It's clear you're just another bored, delusional social just…

    > "your families" = "your children" I don't think that's a reasonable assumption to make. "Your family" could just as easily be referring to adult family members only (spouses, sib…

    Glad I'm not the only one who found this post surprisingly petty and immature. Not to mention egotistical -- seriously, had anyone heard of this until just now?

    You should try reading the article next time -- this post has absolutely nothing to do with suicide rates. I guess your response is somewhat appropriate though. Like the company he…

    It's surprisingly cheap/easy to put the whole thing together with things from Amazon and IKEA. For example: 4x Olov 36" legs [1] = $60 1x Linnmon 47" x 24" table top [2] = $20 what…

    Yes -- a tall desk and a tall chair to match it. Then you should have no need to adjust either unless you somehow become wheelchair-bound by an injury. It also gives you the option…

    Cool, but why not buy a tall stool or drafting chair that matches the height of the desk instead of figuring out all these convoluted ways to lower the entire desk? The whole idea …
