Many restaurants do this already. However, its a lot of overhead to synchronize menus between a restaurant and the marketplace apps. Raising prices to make up for commissions means…

I've been practicing with the breath since I recovered from cancer about a decade ago. I credit it with saving my life in many ways.

I think about it like this — if I ask a question, someone needs to be interrupted to make that happen. Even if they were on slack anyway, or between tasks, if it’s not something th…

Another ADDer here. I have two modes of operation: hyper focused or not. Things that require focus, like deep reading mean I need to switch operating modes. I have oodles of ways t…

My kids district is doing well all things considering. I look forward to things settling in and becoming more consistent. For the most part it is google classroom assignments. No l…

I so got hustled this morning. Not by tech, but by a human. Thank you for giving a word to the experience.

The beauty of static sites. How long does that monthly credit last?

I really love Azure, but not so much for hobby projects. If you want ssl on an app service, you’ll need at least the basic tier which starts at about $50/month. How does that make …
