    You won't be given a year's supply of medication. You will be cursed with years of calling every pharmacy in town once a month to figure out which one has your medication in stock …

    ISO 8601 is the only correct date format. I don't care if people laugh at me when I sign documents and date them with "2025-01-16"

    The one time I considered cancelling my current provider (Comcast where I have gigabit), I found the alternative was CenturyLink with 20 Mbps. As if to rub salt in the wound, Comca…

    I don't know about other property seized as evidence, but my car costs a nontrivial amount for me to own and maintain, and it's critical for my way of life. Losing my car for even …

    Reminds me when my daughter made her Roblox account. They had some rule "don't use your real name" but they never asked her for her real name, so couldn't validate. They would arbi…

    Big +1. I feel I can keep my kids YouTube usage under control and effectively moderate what they watch. With shorts I can't scroll through the 100 shorts they quickly swiped throug…
