Mostly true, but Everybody 1-2-Switch was pretty close to being junk though.

I've had both lucid dreams (which was enjoyable) and sleep paralysis before. The paralysis was not a fun experience at all, and sounds a lot like what you describe. It's apparently…

I use Cloudflare Email Workers to manage this kind of thing. It works well, especially for receiving mail, but when you need to respond it does break down a bit. Jelly seems like a…

I've been using a mouthwash with xylitol for around 5 years now and haven't had a cavity in that time. I hadn't heard about any concern with ingesting xylitol before reading this t…

Cyclists are far from the only ones who don't stop at stop signs appropriately. Stand on a street corner sometime and count the cars that come to a full stop. I'd be shocked if you…

At least he doesn't have far to go to report to prison considering that Lompoc has a federal penitentiary. Medium security though, not sure he'd qualify? Kevin Mitnick spent time t…

FYI: Just noticed a small mistake. "The Call of the Wild" attributed to George Orwell when it should be Jack London. Also, my kid is really enjoying the Dragon Masters series right…

Totally agree. And I'd argue it's not even a new trend. Consider Infocom's Z-machine. What was that if not the Electron of its day? And the right decision from both a technical and…

Since the site is struggling, here's the videos in top ten order: https://youtu.be/i4p_x0S5bmQ https://youtu.be/TXk-Oc35oN4 https://youtu.be/bVbPmFpspXc https://youtu.be/q_Jqmwwbtp…

It can be surprisingly hard to find children's books that tell a story with a beginning, middle and end, and with writing that is engaging. I distinctly remember one day Skyping wi…

I got the FiiO M6 recently and am mildly disappointed. The audio sounds fine to me and it plays all the file formats I care about, but it lacks some features I thought would be sta…
