Ehhh, could have written this post and nixed the anecdote at the beginning, I feel like that weakened the insight. When you're married, there's certain gives and takes that you participate in. It doesn't make you childish for

~2.8% for me! And that pie gets bigger every year, even with appraisal protests, my property value is outpacing inflation (9% gains per year). Income taxes are relatively fixed to your salary at least. My property tax (and sales tax) bill g

As someone who's tried to convince their spouse to move from Windows to Mac or Linux, I'd personally not fight this battle unless they express interest. There will be friction regardless of how perfect you set up their DE, and unl

The grand majority of HTTP traffic (in the US at least) is legal. Obviously one can break the law with anything that can reach the internet, but it seems Apple is drawing a line in the sand for what they believe to be a category of apps tha

From Apple: "... because this category of applications is often used for the purpose of infringing third party rights." Which isn't incorrect, because the overwhelming majority of Bittorrent traffic is piracy.

I mean, why reach for the cordless screwdriver when all you need is a couple turns of a Phillips head? It’s cool that it’s easy to spin up databases but that’s a lot of complexity that may not be necessary in all cases.

Disney+ did not surpass Netflix, go look at the earnings report. All Disney properties (Hulu, ESPN+, Disney+) lumped together surpassed Netflix. And some of those subs are potentially double and triple counted because of that.

Yeah... I'm not sure I agree on 'look around' being a minor feature or a misplaced priority, but I definitely agree about it being pretty crummy on POI. I think part of that is because Apple's POI database is partially Y

This is true, however R's are not in control of the House or Senate at the moment. Lack of D co-sponsors gives me no reason to believe that Congress currently wishes to support this (for now). Maybe this fall, things will be different.

Baking soda can be used as a microabrasive to clean stainless steel as well. If you mix in a little dish soap for lubrication, it scrubs out burnt-on stuff really really well. Way better than most stove-top cleaners, and it doesn't (se

Yep, +1 to all of that. We have a combination of species planted (Texas), I don't really track which ones they favor. It makes it sort of easy to time cutting back the Tropical in that case, because when the others die back, you can cu
