Same, my parents still can't upgrade beyond 8down/1.5up mbit DSL, and they live in the neighborhood area where people would pay twice or even three times as much for anything better. Unfortunately cable is so deteriorated in the a

Bottom line for me is that a chiropractor does aid short term in my experience. After a few sessions, I feel much more mobile and flexible and less stiff. Does this hold out in the long run? No. Is this placebo and the "feel good"

I'm sort of a 4th category then. I've already had the virus twice. The first time I only lost sense of smell for a single day and had a very mild fever for three days, and the second time was only caught because I was lazy and did

I just discovered that they made this for Windows finally. I had been using this for a decade now, and the addition to android was an amazing quality of life improvement for me. Now that it can work on Windows it's even more powerful a

Amazon argues the same exact thing if you buy a movie digitally from them. It's only available to you for as long as they host it on their servers. This is why I pirate shit that I can't find on Netflix or Prime Video. Buying digi

It depends on the industry and the job or company. Period. There's no universal answer to this except "it depends". At my company, you absolutely work more and get less if you're salary than hourly. Overtime is both comm

I'd like to see an actual legitimate source of research regarding this. I can understand how some people are sensitive to the disruption of noises and how that can induce stress to those individuals, but the connection between noise an

As someone who uses a phone for a tool, I found this article incredibly arrogant. I actually went for the dumbest smartwatch I could get. It doesn't have a speaker or mic, it doesn't have a touch screen (or even colour for that ma

It's somewhat frightening how much political control social media has. Their ability to silence political ideas, people, or entities they disagree with is a lot of power for them to wield. I'm not debating justification of their a

I absolutely agree to that. However, the boxes of all brands I've seen state to not use inside the ear. I skull-fuck myself almost daily (unless I run out) and my doctor merely praises me for having such clean ears. Even if I go weeks

It's probably because people just shop from them, not because I bought the gay pride shirt, hat, wallet, car seat cover, pencils, earrings, and bracelet that Amazon thought I wanted. I still cannot figure out why Amazon almost exclusiv

At my work we simply do not have qualified black people applying very often. At all. We have one single black person in the 50ish management roles because that is all that we could hire. Our problem isn't with them being rejected or di

I use this when it's distracting the hell out of me, but usually it's just a minor background noise that I barely notice because it is perpetually there. I've never sought to do anything about it because I'm just used to

I actually use GIMP for taking notes and save as both an xcf and pdf. GIMP is basically a simplified and free Photoshop. I can doodle concepts that can't be explained clearly with text alone unless I do a bunch of formatting and ASCII

I used to use this in the days of XP. It was an amazing way to learn Linux without losing Windows for me. I was sad when I had to move on without it due to the limitations of 32bit and 4GB of RAM (of which I could only actually use 3.2GB of

The issue is that it's ratios, not fractions. 1:3. You take 1:3 and 1:3 and it's still 1:3 or 2:6. You haven't changed the ratio for this at all by showing it as fractions, it's simply being represented and presented wit
