I currently use this on my Surface because it's more touch-friendly than Gmail's website, but it looks like I'll be moving on. Any recommendations for a touch-friendly (i.e. must be UWP) mail app for Windows?

As a trans woman who has lived in Dallas all her life, I agree. There is a lot I love about Dallas, but with the state government trying to shove bathroom bills down our throats (the only reason it failed last time was because Joe Straus wa

As a Dallasite, I've been hoping we won't get it because it would send our housing prices through the stratosphere and ruin traffic for a generation. From what I've seen, the reaction to this news on /r/Dallas is ve

I actually just came back from a week-long trip to NYC where I stayed with my cousin in Harrison (Westchester) and took Metro-North into and out of the city every day I was there. I had a lot of fun, but I would never ever want to actually

So, I just got back from a week-long vacation to NYC, and it's reinforced what I've always felt about it: NYC is a wonderful place to visit, but I'd never want to live there. I had a lot of fun, and I wish I could've s

As somebody who lives in Dallas, I'm actually glad that Amazon is passing us up in favor of NoVa, and I've heard similar sentiments from talking to a few of my fellow Dallasites. The consensus is that if Amazon moved here, all the

Honestly, that sounds utterly horrifying. I'd much rather work at a company that practices Japanese-style lifetime employment.

PLOS One is also extremely lax when it comes to peer review. They've gotten into trouble for publishing spurious articles using unscientific methodology before because of their lack of quality control. They might as well be ArXiv. Exce
