Wonder where this idea of a Viking burial being this one single method came from. Burial mounds were quite common among the Norse, though perhaps the "viking" part of it is important here, because presumably we're only talki

Not quite crows, but a pair of ravens are featured in Daniel Suarez's book on drone swarms, "Kill Decision." Great read by a great author if you like technothrillers. Be aware; both crows and ravens will remember your face,

Thank God they're protecting kids from the content on Pornhub. Those kids will now be safe, only accessing content on much less harmful sites such as luxuretv, heavy-r, and other websites based outside of the US, where people don&#x27

The only people I know of that are using Windows 10 at this point are primarily gamers, as they're the only people who didn't let the automatic update to 11 happen. To be fair, aside from having Windows for work, they're als

Can't say I care what most people use -- I considered the fight for Linux won years ago when I first encountered driver difficulties on Windows Vista. Equal opportunity for incompatible hardware was the real turning point, and since t

Given how many kids are and have been on ChromeOS since 2020, I wouldn't be surprised to see this changing fairly rapidly, moreso than I'd have otherwise expected. More and more it seems the choice for people is between a Macbook

Ask a normie what they run on their desktop these days. Then say, okay, fine, your laptop, as you understand they don't have a desktop and haven't for years. Then say, "oh, no laptop either?" to the 30% or so of averag

Many have been estimating it at well under a $10 billion valuation. Elon Musk just became the first person to lose $200 Billion. I'd not be so quick to assume creditors are all getting paid here.

You need a good staircase between your bed and your desk. It allows you to have that commute experience. In my split level, if my wife comes home as I'm getting out of work, I even get the experience of "traffic" on my &quo

Reminds me of the old Bill Hicks bit "I took mushrooms and went to Astroworld and had a really bad time." Personally I always felt like van life was super posh camping, as opposed to only mostly posh camping, which is camping with

Deglazing a wok at the end goes a long way -- through in half a cup to a cup of water while it's still hot after you've taken the food out, and scrape the bottom gently. Don't put in enough water that it'll cool the pan

I suspect it likely could be if you're spraying everything to rinse it; use a few basins with a good sized rinse with sanitizer or bleach (measured -- ideally use a ph strip to avoid going too far here) and you can use quite a small am

There isn't much Discord does right. That everyone disappeared from IRC is the only reason I'm even on it, usually, to badger them all back into IRC, or perhaps Matrix.

Think about what is is you'd like to develop. "Developer" is so broad a term it's almost meaningless in the modern world. Do you want to work on logistics systems? Finance? Mobile apps? Social Media? No wrong answers

Technically? If they wanted to be really a pain they could probably hit you with the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA). That said, that act is like using a nuke to kill a spider, so it'd never actually happen.

Good for you for being honest about your age -- I was never so virtuous. As others have pointed out, this is due to COPPA. Use a foreign service, host your own, or get creative. Personally I'd say that hosting your own is probably you

Coinbase makes their money on the 1% spread they charge. Kraken is in this ballpark too, with a little more variance. Binance, like FTX, charges a tenth of that. If they're not making up for that disparity somewhere, in a not so gre

Agreed -- having a degree is important; having it from a prestigious/expensive university, for most people, is quite often much less so. Obvious exceptions exist; we don't typically see presidential candidates who came from a comm
