Very true. We went last year, happened to be on the day the Memphis Belle exhibit opened. We have videos of the WWII era planes flying overhead. Then they landed and we took a bus out to the end of the runway/taxiway and could get insi

Brutal is a nice way of putting it. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I'm also fairly certain that I'd never do it again, but that's another story. Thanks for the kind words. My chemo ended about 2 years ago. I'm feelin

I'm not sure abput appetite-inducing drugs, but depending on the type of chemo you're on you may get high doses of anti-nausea meds. I did. I still didn't want to eat, but I wasn't vomiting all the time. I did 4 rounds o

This is definitely good advice. Also, from my own experience with cancer that spread: get a second opinion from another oncologist (get a third if you feel the need). It's your body, it's your life, do your homework. After all of

I've used LegalZoom twice. Once for a corp, another for an LLC, it was easy both times. Other than that, I'd say it's helpful to have a good CPA.

> If you go to a high level of abstraction, you remove useful distinctions. That's my point and what I was extrapolating from your high-level comment. If you're going to give an example, it's good to talk about things the

At a high level of just considering taxable income that is true. However, the difference is there are a lot more things a corp can do to reduce taxable income than an individual can do. If you happen to be the owner of a corp you can also u

We used Skype for Business until a few months ago and had a fair amount of issues. We switched our Office 365 accounts all over to Teams and everything has been working a lot better since.

For years AmEx has allowed recurring charges to continue after a number or expiration date change. But I'm pretty sure they don't share new information with the merchant as part of that. It's nice after a stolen card number t

Hmm, maybe I guess. It was all under the U-Verse brand at the time. I remember they offered something like a 150Mb download, but it was around $300/month.

In the past, the answer was sometimes. About 6 years ago I lived in a Dallas suburb where I had ATT fiber directly to my house. A friend a few miles away, in Dallas, had copper. We had the same services, same prices, same hardware, etc.

Of course, if you don't sign up, make sure you DO opt out of Informed Delivery. Otherwise someone else may sign up and get copies of all your mail sent to them without your knowledge.

Increasing cost was the thought, yes. I admit I'm not totally up-to-speed on what adblock and ublock do, but I was under the impression that they don't load the ads. So while you wouldn't see them, there's also no cost t

It seems the approach here is to reduce the click-data value to zero, because every ad is clicked. How about just removing clicks all together? Maybe about a browser extension that loads every ad, but there are no clicks. Preferably the bro

This is interesting. A friend and I talked about a similar idea about 10 years ago where we thought about buying gas stations that were going out of business to turn into mini data centers. These would have been the smaller, sometimes Mom &

That explains why the latest Ghostery update on Android was so terrible. It lost all of my tabs and had 3 different places to disable some form of tracking.

Exactly. That's why, among many other things, transparency is important. I'd have no issue being on a list if I knew I was on it and had a process to get a fair decision to be removed. However, that doesn't happen. So, we&#x2

Part of me (a small part) wants to be OK with this. Because, a person/business/organization should be able to maintain information on interactions with people where "issues" have occurred. Example: "Hey, if this guy

Could be worse. I recently called my doctor for a refill on a prescription, left a message for the nurse. Before I received a call back, I got a text message from GoodRX with a link about the medication, following the link (I anonymized it)

Some Androids (like mine) won't lock for a few seconds after turning off the screen. It's a nice feature when you press to turn off the screen, and quickly realize you need to do something else. Just turn on the screen and it&#x27

Agreed, but I think vocal biometrics is a significantly more difficult problem to solve when even the best speech recognition still has issues like this. Phonetics is hard. Especially with ambient noise, echo and such. I had a conversation

Most phone now have some kind of lock screen, which makes it pretty difficult to get to the butt dialing stage. Will speech command recognition get to that stage? The main reason I won't have any of those products in my house is becaus
