    Same with This Charming Man by The Smiths and Mary Jane's Last Dance by Tom Petty

    I had a feeling this was going to be Kensington before I even clicked the link.

    It feels like ageism is more pronounced at startups and tech companies - at least, that is my perception based on real world and online discussions. I'm 50, work at a large, establ…

    I was planning to start using YTTV when sports start up again. We were using Hulu Live before and, while it wasn't terrible, I wanted to give YTTV a try. This price hike kills that…

    Not true - I replace my Android phones every 4-5 years.

    There is no "in-game" gambling in Fortnite. You always know what you are spending your money on: https://www.engadget.com/2019/01/26/fortnite-pve-eliminates-...

    Fortnite doesn't have lootboxes. The Save The World mode did but they recently removed them so you always know what you are buying if you decide to spend money. I'd say it's not pa…

    I don't understand why people are lamenting the lack of features on the Epic game store. I don't need forums or screen shot galleries or any of that junk from my store. I just want…

    It sounds like a pyramid scheme to try and monetize an echo chamber.

    If that was the main factor, the divorce rate for law enforcement would likely be lower as well.

    Hudson/Jenkins works well for us. We've moved all our scheduling jobs out of cron and other uglier options (like maestro) into Hudson. In addition to sending emails when things bre…

    I remember the days when Netscape Navigator had all the market share. Get off my lawn. :)

    I agree that choosing an expensive lifestyle is a consumption choice. I was just trying to make the point that it's difficult for a government to determine what basic income is "en…

    Unlikely. I know of a lot of people who live in New Jersey but register their auto in another state under a relative's address for cheaper insurance. I also know people who use an …

    I use Ubuntu for both work and home use. Chrome is the only browser I use and I never have any problems with it. I don't use sites like gmail or google docs, though, so maybe it ha…
