    There was a button museum at the time, though I never made it in. I'm not sure if the museum is in the same spot as the restaurant was, as I was there in 2017. One block over from …

    The best demonstration of the delay is typing Calc in the Win+R Run dialog. There's a difference between instant and "way faster than Word". On Windows 7, you could hit enter and i…

    I'm on a Pixel 10 for these instructions, not sure if other manufacturers offer the same options. Modes is an available option in the tile list. You can go to Modes, create a custo…

    Salt Lake City area is not particularly cold. It definitely gets hot in the summer, and snow in the valley melts within a day or so. Looks like the cedar rapids site is also closed…

    That experience is ridiculous, I'm sorry you had to go through that. My cousin is a teacher and is trying to support one of her students who is very food insecure. She's currently …

    After I visited Iceland where it's mandatory, I liked the improved visibility so much I turn my lights on for every single trip. It was not a takeaway I was expecting to have from …

    I've seen Saturday for payroll week start. It naturally makes sense to align other business calendars accordingly. It does get funky with overtime. If weather cancels a Monday-Frid…

    Late reply, but that experience was actually in grad school. I was involved with research as an undergrad as well, but it was definitely confusing from how I stated things. I was f…

    A coworker used to work in a meatpacking plant. There were two people who had the exact same name, first middle and last. They worked in the same department and in fact on the same…
