This is pretty weak sauce, poorly written, and giving only superficial insight into Waugh's depth of character. His diaries probably give the most insight, but if you only read Brideshead Revisited , you'll be a much richer perso

Yes, at $10/mo as the GP says, it's more than Slack or G-Suite or Microsoft 365(?). It sounds like a great product, but it would definitely have less value to us than the above products. That seems to set a price ceiling, but of c

You do understand that gold values have been wildly manipulated for decades by the central banks, right? They've been depressing them in the past decade with futures shenanigans, all the while buying up gold like mad. (Those are of cou

As gumby says, the Space Cadet keyboards, being Microswitch Hall effect-based, were a bit spongy due to the big plastic case, but the switches themselves were dreamy. But the whole experience was still not as satisfying as the original Knig
