Reddit is best when the sub-reddits are smallish. Home Theater is gets pretty rabid when it comes to soundbars, that's the last place to ask or give soundbar advice. Typically, the subreddits I like the best are splinters from the orig

This is one of those situations where our building codes need to catch up to technology. People don't want to live in structures better suited to our environment, they don't want to pay for the cost to build them, and our governme

Life long Texan here. Some of y'all need to get this setting your house temp to 78° figured out. 78 is damned comfortable, even in high humidity, as long as you have your ceiling fans on moving that air around. Don't have ceiling

You know what else does a good job of swimming around wounds and killing bacteria, medical grade maggots. They are fantastic in wound healing, and can fight mrsa.

Sure, but then you have that background concern about them accidentally dialing 911.

That's a damned shame, the iPod Touch was a great way to give kids a "phone" without giving them a real phone.

Honestly, they shouldn't if they aren't interested. But moving past that, Excel. Just a little bit of programming knowledge can really up your spreadsheet game.

Word of warning from a 15 year double edge razor user. Just because it can theoretically be cheaper to go the double edge razor route, doesn't actually mean it will be. First there are all those blades to try. Then soap brushes, then s

2009 marked the last year of good Operating System releases with both Windows 7 and Snow Leopard shipping that summer. After this point, bloat became good, non-flat design became bad, and existing system apps started to be replaced with bug

Please stop trying to GUI-ify my terminal. I don't want all those questionable design decisions from browsers making their way into the terminal.

The great thing about comics is there is one for everybody. Instead of heading to your local comic book store, which is geared toward people with disposable income, you head to your local library or children's section of a large bookst

The only think that keeps me subscribed is my partners addiction to Asian dramas (K-dramas, J-dramas, C-dramas, etc). Yes, we also have several other dedicated Asian Drama streaming services, but Netflix has some exclusives.

Do you actually need a laptop as your main development machine? A few years back, I switched off of using a laptop for my main machine. This allows me to spend my money on hardware with more cores, more ram, better gpu, better linux support

The worst thing about emacs is there is no good newbie init.el that has no more than 10 packages to fix the very common starter pain points. I don't recommend first time emacs users start with Doom. Everybody should get their feet wet

Dude, your privileged is showing... I have yet to work for a company that buys me lunch, much less annual ski trips. Hell, coffee hasn't been provided at any of my jobs, I've always had to pitch into a coffee pool just to have it.
