Genuine question, is Matt ok? I hope nothing bad is happening in his personal life.

I am excited for the features announced. My current phone is the iPhone XS, which in September will be 6 years since its release. Mind you, I try not to get excited for other relea…

TARS, set humor to 75 percent.

I second the recommendation. We got rid of a Samsung washer for a Speed Queen. It does a better job cleaning the clothes for less of the time.

As an middle-aged man that loves to go to concerts, ear plugs are great and do not affect negatively the concert-going experience. Speakers are loud enough that you can feel the mu…

What others have likely mentioned, the biggest perk that I get from WFH is flexibility to do home duties during business hours. Working from home has given me the flexibility to ma…

I would like to say first is that: we are all humans. When you are passionate in the work you do, invest time and effort to completing work for someone to find flaws, it's hard to …

Unfortunately, it's what makes Pop Music, POPular. As long as it sells, it won't change. I remember Lady Gaga getting a lot of criticism early on in her career, then later, she sho…

Deathloop: I was expecting another FPS, but I've been pleasantly surprised by the story and the characters. Death Stranding: I've beaten the game, now I'm just trying to collect ev…

If filming is done in public for the intent to be published, should there be a release form signed by any people that were filmed? Anecdotally, many years ago I was at an outdoor p…

I agree 100% with your statement. I see a job interviews as dating. It has to work both ways, you will be spending most of your day with them, you need to determine what you expect…

Definitely! For me, the skills of listening before responding and processing a response in a timely manner were invaluable lessons learned taking improv classes.

An Instapot. You can practically cook anything on it. Being more at home and time being split between working and child care, the Instapot has been a lifesaver. Toaster/Air Fryer. …
