Perhaps because it’s easier to “make it” as a magician. As a wannabe photographer, it’s exhausting trying to build an audience/clientele, manage your social media presence, get accepted into local art shows or crawls, etc. all while st

I've had the repossession notice situation (was some apartment building in Seattle and the host had clearly leased out the entire floor and just Airbnb'd the individual units out. He said ignore the eviction notice). Never had any

Some of their design/business decisions have always struck me as odd for a company that tries to present as unified, designer, futuristic, sleek, easy-to-use. They should have committed whole hog to Thunderbolt imo. It's honestly

I think I'm missing something here. Do they sell servers or are they selling some interesting service where you can buy a server AND they physically host the machine in their own data centers? If the former, what value add do they prov

I’d be really interested to see a write up on the particular materials and how much current is required or if it’s simply a Delta V that achieves the effect. It’s been many years since I was in college, but my mind cannot comprehend such an

Imagine trying to explain the sheer amount of effort that goes into blogspam to someone from the 90s.

And he didn't bother to verify the facts before he presented them in court? That's scientifically/logically/professionally unsound and irresponsible.
