I don't think so. Reading a book or watching a show isn't about the fastest route to a conclusion. To borrow a phrase: it's the journey, not the destination. IE: I'm watching The Crown right now. I've been "spo

Every single one of our laptops gets sent out with an accompanying Ethernet dongle. Every one. Still very much useful in corporate environments.

And now Trump is considering starting a "Patriot Party" due to his lack of support in the GOP for overturning the election. Spitting image of the failed Putsch when Hitler realized, in Jail, that a coup d'état wasn't goi

Right, just like Germany survived the Beer Hall Putsch in 1923 just fine, democracy intact. People are fools to think this is all just suddenly over now that Trump is gone and big-tech de-platformed one tiny social media platform.

Do you have proof this is fake or is that just an assumption?

As someone who has had perimyocarditis in the past, this is quite terrifying to hear. I don't know how my heart would handle another bout if it was serious.

They do, and for creative work this is still their Achilles heel.

I'm exactly the opposite. I've never enjoyed a pair of Apple earbuds in my life because of the hard, uncomfortable plastic. Rubber earbuds are mandatory for me. These will probably be the first Apple headphones I'll buy, and

Interesting. I've been using DDG exclusivley for about 2-3 years now and I forget that I'm not using Google half the time. It's just my normal state at this point.

So what's your plan then; do nothing?

It really is that easy.

Yes and No. They buy at Costco, which is cheaper than the liquor stores in their town. In BC only liquor stores can sell, whereas in AB grocery stores can as well. This can lead to grocery stores being cheaper than liquor stores.

I've never heard of this happening. My parents live in BC near the AB border and buy liquor from AB weekly.

I suppose if you use IG like that then sure. For me, I follow other photographers and online "zines", so my IG is full of other artists. "Influencers", celebrities, and meme accounts are banished from my feed. In turn, I

I have absolutely been in a situation where acceleration was the deciding factor (apart from quick reflexes) in avoiding a crash. However, it certainly was not at highway speeds. There's simply no reason to need to go faster than 180km

It's unfortunate, as Blizzard used to be one of my most respected companies as some of the core attributes to their games was their high degree of polish unseen in many other developers. Now it's increasingly being eaten by micro-

The Battle of Alesia wasn't a conventional siege in the sense that the defenders weren't behind a wall to defend themselves from open attackers, but the attackers were behind the walls using it against the defenders. The wall is o

If only there was a way to both not smoke and control your appetite, and maybe even eat less processed food while you're at it. Alas, I guess we'll just have to leave that hard problem to the scientists and philosophers.

I'm sure you remember this quote then: "a community who gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be surrounded by idiots who think they are in good company" This explains SO much of not just 4chan sub-groups

Or maybe younger people can't afford homes and the data is showing that, not bias. This is certainly the case with me, and absolutely every other person I know in their 20s/30s who isn't in a upper-management position at a la

Maybe I'm wrong here, but isn't the whole idea to be pushing forward? If you're only copying their designs, you'll always be one step behind. I'd rather buy from the company pushing the envelope rather than some obv
