    Thank you for taking the time to write this article. I was disturbed about the shutdown of Darksky because I really loved the features of that app and reading your article took me …

    This. I thought I had allergies that stuffed up my nose and sinuses my entire life. Then I started tracking my water intake, drinking the proper amount, and boom, my entire head cl…

    “For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, th…

    I have to back out of my driveway in a 2021 Ford Explorer on a fairly busy street. I am typically very cautious because there are parked cars along the street obstructing visibilit…

    In my car, there are physical buttons on the steering wheel. A left and right button with a scroll wheel in between on each side. Those buttons change context depending on what you…

    I can tell you that I own an R1T, and it's awesome. It fits a nice niche in the vehicle landscape right now. Parameters: - I do not want to buy another ICE vehicle - I want a vehic…

    You hit on my first thought. There are numerous legitimate user experience cases where keystroke by keystroke or field by field processing is beneficial. Autocomplete for address d…

    I think there are shades of gray to be recognized between obstreperously "Retro" and obstreperously Luddite. There are still a significant cohort of people alive that grew up in th…

    Since you are looking for different tips other than the usual "eat less" and "lift weights", both of which are important but the former far more than the latter, let me submit usin…

    Agree with the other comments here and would like to add that the OP may have the same name as a person on one of those government lists like OFAC and are getting identity confused…

    I would have 1000% agreed with you except I had a very different experience last year. I was out seeking loans for a car and shopping around for low interest. One of the lower ones…

    The Valpack envelops make me so sad. I just take them out of the mailbox and toss them into the recycling bin. Think of all the trees used, energy wasted, and chemicals used in mak…

    That's great insight. Do they hold the notes or package and sell them off? Would be interesting to follow the money and short the ultimate debt holders if the market appears to be …

    It's really a perfect assessment. I couldn't articulate why exactly Facebook felt like I was purely wasting time each time I engaged with the experience (few times a year). This de…

    Can anyone recommend an NO2 detector? What was used wasn’t mentioned in the article that I could see.
