I noticed when I was trying to learn how to program, everyone seemed to think it was trivial to just take a course online and learn it. Only once you've gone through a few tutorials do you realize how shallow most of them are. If you w

My reading slowed down when I joined the workforce too, but I've been able to keep up a rate of 10-15 books a year by making sure I have designated reading time and always a book ready to go. For me, that's while I'm eating b

Of course there's a market for it. Do you not have at least a few friends who are holding out with their candybar dumbphones or antique iPhones to this day, citing reasons that include but are not limited to 1) I'm not wasting mon

Says who? Last I heard the liberals were trying to use it as an election-year bribe and it backfired on them heavily. I believe the recount is today, so we don't even know if they won yet. They haven't actually changed any rules y
