This is one of the most useless comparisons I have ever seen: "That’s an increase of the equivalent of roughly 36,000 Olympic sized swimming pools of carbon dioxide more per year." Why are we measuring gas inside of a pool? Is tha

Number Shield looks brilliant! I get a lot of spam calls from my area code and three number prefix. I don’t have any legitimate contacts with a phone number like that, so blocking the whole range looks like a good solution. However, I don’t

I do most of my YouTube viewing from a desktop so my ad blocker stops me from seeing ads. However I recently signed up for YouTube premium because I am very anti-advertising, and I want to vote with my wallet. I hope that more services allo

Serious question: do you use an ad blocker when browsing the internet? Edit: I ask that because I use an ad blocker, as does everyone that I know. And I can’t think of a way to reconcile blocking ads with truly believing that ads are good f

Wow. That landing page is bad. I learned that some successful people and businesses use Workflowy, but I didn’t learn what Workflowy is or why I might need it. Is the desktop page better than the mobile one?

Huh. I’ve tried that but I haven’t had positive results yet. I’ve waited two years, and now it’s out of warranty. I think it might be defective. Did yours come with a user’s manual? My wife and I are thinking of making another. Will that he
