   I don't see it as any different to any forum, IRC channel, social network group page, or group chat in an IM. 4chan, SA, Fark, car forums, etc etc. It's literally just teenagers making a group chat to shoot the shit. How is that a

   I only see a blank page for this blog, due to NoScript, but what's weird, is I can't disabled NoScript for this domain at all, and it says "This is a privileged page, whose permissions cannot be configured." I've ne

   Healthcare, housing, education, feeding the poor. You know, those things the US says are "socialist commie bullshit", but spending ~$8 BILLION a year on a bunch of untrained people given power over others is perfectly acceptable.

   Yeah I'm a 40ish white-as-a-sheet-of-paper Aussie with a very short beard (pushing an inch maybe, it's more I cbf shaving but I clip it regularly with sheers). I travel lots (dozen+ times a year, in/out of Mel/Syd and In

   Does anyone know if a hobbyist can pull the time from TV signals like you can with an RPi/GPS-hat/etc? I'd love to have a bedside clock that pulls from TV signal for no other reason than I didn't even know that existed u

   Ah the nostalgia! I'd love an Android app that is just the main WinAmp window in portrait mode on my phone, and has the same basic features (simple MP3 player basically, maybe try add support for podcasts and some streaming music). It&

   Couldn't agree more. If the situation is as reads, OP is being set up as a scapegoat. Maybe not maliciously, but it stinks of last ditched efforts to avoid personal failure by the higher ups. I wouldn't take this job and I absolut

    Almost same here. Todoist for lists. I live off lists, I have dozens and dozens. .txt for longer notes. Vim/Notepad.exe/DropboxEdit depending which platform I'm on. Shared Dropbox folder of .txt for shared notes.

    I'm around 40 and haven't read a physical book since the Kindle came out. Same goes for most the people around me (including parents and older friends). I think I know one single person who reads physical books, and they're a

    Only one data point but I made my first blog inspired by Slashdot. I wrote a CGI script that read flat text file posts to make the front page, then when you clicked a link, another script wrapped the chosen post text file in a basic HTML t

    I really wish you could still do proper classic mode on Win 10. I very much prefer it to the modern design of Windows. It's fast, functional, logical, and minimal.
