GHB is a horrible alternative to alcohol. I really don't understand why you think that is not the case. GHB is highly addictive, dosing is hard, it's really unhealthy with long term use and is nearly impossible to stop doing once

With this list, you're guaranteed to be right about at least one thing. I'm pretty sure you'll be wrong about more than that though. Unless of course, you're hinting that humanity will go extinct.

First, I think it's really important to decide what you want from a new job. Do you want job satisfaction or just a decent pay check? Starting there, you probably want to think outside the box. It seems like you have experience doing p

Half the time the devs don't even underestimate, it's just that they're the easiest to blame them because it'll never hurt them (according to the people shifting the blame). One time, I had to estimate a UI migration. I

I see what you're getting at, but Brexit is objectively shit for the majority of people, yet the majority voted for it. There are plenty more examples like it.

Now that is software I have a use case for! I used some abandoned menu bar app for this. Nothing worked, except the manual slider, which was enough for me. I guess I'll have to try this with my display!

The github page describes the exact scenario that this is supposed to solve. I don't think I can explain it any better than that page already did.
