This took me probably too long to figure out. As a kid i was always told to finish my plate, then the usual "think of the starving kids" guilt trips, and whatever else. As an adult, I just eat smaller portions of the same garbage

The argument I use when someone asks me about paying and trusting non-US based VPN providers is this: I trust the VPN providers much more than any ISP I have available to me. That is all. I still don't trust the VPNs for super sensit

Exactly. For most of my gaming type friends, it's always a battle of MS vs Sony every single console cycle. However, after a few months of playing the main console, they almost always buy a Nintendo console as their secondary. I don&#

If it helps, I haven't logged into FB since Jan 2018. I still get e-mails from FB about posts my friends made weeks or months ago. Never anything within the past few days though. Just now I got one for a post my friend made on Nov 28

I had a friend who worked at Kmart during the Sears transition and stayed until it closed a few years ago (or so). He worked there for maybe 12 years total, and maybe 7 of that as a manager. The first week after he started there, he starte

I had to buy a Nintendo USB C cable to use for my switch. None of the ones I got with my Pixel or other USB C devices worked. Granted, I only had 5 other cables to test at the time. The only unofficial thing I used was the cable itself.

That is what we continue to be told, yes. So my 15 minutes $600 allergy appointment that insurance refused to cover (after covering the same damn appointments for 12 years) is that high because of others, or so I keep hearing...

The non-dispoable cups are the only reason I went with a Keurig. I wanted to have the option of using the k-cups and the option of using my own coffee. So far, I haven't found any issues with using it. They look the same as your seco

I've recently noticed similar issues with my older Crucial SSD in my 2012 mbp. In the past 3 months, there's been maybe 5 times where I started my laptop and it took 5+ minutes to finish booting. Normally, it's 15 seconds.
