    I initially set up my email on my domain as me@mydomain.com. I don't really remember why, but it was a really stupid idea as it's so hard to explain to people. "It's me at mydomain…

    I really, really wanted one of those 64-bit alphas to use for Lightwave 3D in the 90s!

    Ok, after trying incognito, I do like it, but I'm not ready to switch my default from DDG yet. Maybe on the non-incognito chrome results page you could include a note that your sea…

    I found this comment too late... Already ordered a "kids" supplement that has a 2:1 ratio of DHA:EPA.

    And the majority of sushi has been frozen, killing any parasites. If the fish has not been frozen, there is still a risk from parasites.

    Well, I'm somewhat relieved to read that, in that I purchased one for the same reason but have been rebooting it at least once a day for a while now. I was initially relieved to se…

    I've got a Pixel too, definitely a better camera than an iPhone 7, but not 7+.

    Thanks, didn't know I could do this on my Pixel. AE/AF lock is nice too.
