I've owned many and there is nothing like a new one. The bearings always seem to wear down or get dirty. They make precision machined metal ones for super enthusiasts but I haven't tried those.

Get a gyro exercise ball. They are crazy fun and 5 minutes of use clears up an entire day worth of typing stiffness. They can be used to strengthen any part of the arm including the shoulder.

You can run GPU accelerated apps in a container. You just need to install the same video driver and expose the x11 socket and card device. The app could still be evil and screen scrape or key log but at least it has no access to your file

I'm under the impression him and his group became controlling shareholders of Sears and asset stripped it. That is technically legal but Sears sued him for infringing on the other shareholder's rights during the process. https:

That reminds me, paypal used to have a one time/subscription CC generator browser plugin way back in the day. It was great. I used it all the time and one day it just disappeared.

If there were no patents everyone would be busy working to implement ideas. Innovation would fly and the inequality index would drop like a rock. A lot of the wealth concentrated at megacorps in the form of IP would flow out to any who wo

Make a rat city with houses where they can sleep and different buildings they can go to for food and water, but make it so they can only drive to different buildings.

What happens if an agency gets in deep with one of the common trusted authorities shipped with every browser, or is an authority, or just hacked their root keys, or bought access like they did with RSA? It seems like they could man in the

Capitalism sees most the productivity gains to the workers. I think our experiment has failed and it is time to try capitalism again. Our country hasn't seen it for over 100 years.

The $100 bill would obviously be more popular nowadays. For a lot of people on here, since they were kids, the purchasing power of that $100 has fallen to about $50. You have to carry twice as much currency to carry the same amount of pur

"They’re often not admissible in court, which is why police have to order follow-up testing from a lab." - whoa so you can be arrested based on evidence that is known to be inadmissible in the first place.

Pollution is the real problem and it really feels like it has been given a back seat to the climate. Those Chinese factories are churning away for the same American corporations that lobby for the CO2 laws.

Your passsword should be made up of dictionary words though. If you do the math an 8 word sentence from the 10k most common words (just lowercase) is equivalent to a 16 character password from a full set of 100 characters and far easier to
