Nothing will ever be enough, for all interpretations of the statement, reveling in all the irony, pathos, and prideful triumph that could possibly be extracted from such interpreta…

Contradictory anecdote: there’s basically only one way to write Elm, as it is a very trend-resistant language with minimal updates over long timespans, but most agents in my experi…

Despite the title, the article sure makes it seem like it’s the private company that runs the state’s warehouse’s fault; at least that’s who most of the interviewed retailers blame…

Or you could spare the five minutes to watch the credits, seeing the names of all those people who made the movie you just enjoyed. Discuss the film during that time so you don’t s…

The west = the western hemisphere, the new world, the Americas, from the Northwest Territories to Patagonia But why trouble yourself to distinguish anyway? 30% of the Irish are obe…

Warn? Yes. Refuse access? No. I would close my bank account over this. That’s not saying much though because they literally pay you to open new bank accounts these days…
