I don't think you're alone there. This was EXACTLY my mindset as well. I have the same problem with the various Japanese logic puzzles (Soduku, Nurikabe, Hashi, etc): 1) This is fu…

Thanks for the recommendation! As a huge Wing Commander fan back in the long long ago, do you have any other recommendations?

I singlehandledly forced the replacement of Expensify at my company after some dodgy billing practices. They incrementally, yet substantially, raised our bill over a period of eigh…

The people buying Bitcoins now?
