Homeowners are a reliable political cohort, they tend to organize quickly as soon as any issues are on the agenda that might affect the value of their land and they will reliably push for whatever increases land values. They show up at city

Anything where I can be a beginner again and experience the thrill of discovery. Doing something for the first time and together with someone that’s good at it and is happy to share their knowledge is so awesome. As I get older I realize I

I’ve always enjoyed solving a problem with code but I’ve never enjoyed coding for coding’s sake. I always have some other end in mind, even if it’s only leaning a new language or framework or pattern. I think it’s actually quite an advantag

The WiFi functionality on Miele appliances is completely optional. Just don’t connect it to WiFi during initial setup and it’ll never do anything connected or prompt you about it. You can also reset the config if you change your mind later.

Your assumption that excessive alcohol consumption is stigmatized in China is wrong. Drinking is very common and not done in hiding.

As long as the release is still supported by MS, what’s the problem? I use Windows for a very narrow use case: run games. I never interact with windows itself and the software it ships with beyond the most basic system maintenance, so there

Where does this sentiment come from that Linux has come very far when it comes to gaming? When Doom 3 released in 2004 I had to use a hex editor to hand patch the executable to get sound working. Luckily someone did what OP did and posted t

For most companies, unless you haven’t switched already, I assume this won’t matter. Why switch back from Azul or whatever unless there’s a strong reason to? Nothing is preventing Oracle from trying to monetize their JDK aggressively again.

There’s an obvious and easy first step: End Prop 13 for anything that isn’t an owner occupied home. Business/capital interests won’t allow that though.

When Windows XP PCs started to become obsolete, one way to extend their life (at least for people that only used them to browse the web) was to install Firefox. I've actually helped someone do this when their freemail provider stopped

There’s really no way around this except avoiding third party sellers, except if it’s the producer themselves selling directly on Amazon. Unless you want the eBay experience, don’t buy in the Amazon marketplace.

It’s really a shame. I had no reason to buy a new phone other than Google ditching support for the Pixel 2, a high priced flagship, after only 3 years. Combine this with how much more Android phones depreciate compared to iPhones (who wants

This is unfortunately all too common, but it can at least be solved with a simple restart - and truly fixed after the holidays, which is much better than a 4h debug fest because of a typo in some code someone wanted to quickly get in before

I’ve used Android 2010 to 2012, iOS 2012-2014 with iTunes Match, Android 2014 to 2020 with Google Music and just switched back to iOS with an iPhone 12 mini and Apple Music. I’m on Fi since 2015. After reading your message I realized how I
