Still clinging onto OneNote 2016, the last version that allows you to store your data locally. There are some things - like personal notes - that really don't need to live in the cloud.

Have been through a similar experience. Developing extensions for Google Chrome is a particular form of masochism. They really don't seem to care. And things took a turn for the worst last December when the approval process went from h

My mistake, here is what the WHO said: > "If you do not have any respiratory symptoms...you do not need to wear a medical mask" Which is somehow worse.

That article provides zero evidence of "racist trolls who were outwardly Taiwanese". It's a fiction. What is not a fiction in Mainland China evicting Africans and blocking them from Shopping malls after the government accused

I think this discount the enormous satisfaction that comes with creating your own thing. 9 - 5 working for somebody else can feel a lot longer than 6 - 9 working on your own biz. Especially when you're talking in decades. And striking

Nothing revelatory but it's the truth. Anybody seeking more freedom ought to attempt to build a system that generates revenue without your presence being required. Investing, swing trading and software are the most straightforward path

It's about the size of the particles (both COVID-19 and flu are 80–120 nm) not the type of virus. Besides, the other links concern a SARS virus.

Before you earn the success that affords more free time, prepare for 100+ hour work weeks. It's a paradox that in order to obtain more free time you'll likely have to spend years handing over hour upon hour to your business. If yo

Not the op, however this advise is misguided. If you're sick but don't know it, your coughing/breathing is spreading the virus. So everyone wearing a mask prevents the infected, including those that don't know that they&
