yeah, but then it starts loudly reading to you....and then at the end of the ride when you want to pay with your credit card the whole interface is weird. Better to just get really…

I'd say a much more important purpose of a cutting board is to protect the edge of your knife. If you hit the edge of your knife on something really hard, it'll chip, or fold--basi…

That does seem like an advantage, but the downside is that people who don't have access to fancy diagnostic equipment potentially just die of things that could be cured with some a…

And yet, no real change to the status quo of slow deterioration seems to be happening. The louder and more powerfully we can make this (I agree obvious) case, the better!

It was really terrible in the 70s when the city went bankrupt. Then it got better, and now it's getting worse again.

I don't think people denigrating allied bombing campaigns are really concerned with their military effectiveness, but rather the millions upon millions of civilians we (Allies) kil…

Ever use ranger? Of course, not exactly comparable, but it's pretty amazing.

Really, it doesn't make sense to you that enter would correspond to the most common, least destructive action? Alt-F4 makes little sense, true, but in almost all windows apps contr…

I imagine because what they actually mean (state) gets ambiguous and confusing because of the united states, which are not really states in the same sense.

Open source doesn't mean free....

Important context for Denmark not having a minimum wage is the fact that more or less everyone (including managers) is in a union, and if you are fired you'll get paid unemployment…
