   We use Google Suite too, and I have no problems with 100% Firefox usage there too. I can't say anything about things like the resolution of your webcam, but I don't know, it all just works here.

   I don't normally nitpick in this way, but the single line "Wrong." rubbed me up the wrong way. The claim was: > Almost No One Pays a 6% Real-Estate Commission–Except Americans (wsj.com) and you've cited an example whi

   Then the question becomes: "_SMS?!_". Nobody in Europe uses SMS. I think I've cracked it though. I've noticed that Apple's service inside the U.S.A. is different to the level of service they provide outside of it (b

   I’ve always been curious about this too, and the answers here are not exactly enlightening. They seem to boil down to either SMS being cheaper in the U.S.A. and the lack of unlimited texting in Europe (not true), or “because I use it”. I li

   Sorry, maybe "control" was misplaced. What I mean is that you can't keep them safe in that way (by trying to "control" the situation).

   Am I right in thinking that in the U.S.A. you can go through a red light if turning right?

    What on Earth are you talking about? These things didn't exist when I was a kid, but me and others from my generation helped _build_ the damn system as I grew up!

    Believe me I understand the anxiety around not knowing where your kid is, but consider that nobody knew where we were at that age. Think about the absolutely insane shit you got up to, that should have gotten you killed a thousand times ove

    I understand where you're coming from, but don't lose hope. The power of "sure, everyone else has one, but we're not everyone else" is strong. There's a big difference between caving in following along, and acc

    I understand there are subtle differences, but for me at least they aren't noticeable enough. i.e. that they matter less than the benefit that would be reaped from having just these two symbols. Sounds like you disagree, and the differ

    But that supports YouTube itself too, I'd rather it goes bust. If there were a platform where the creators paid a share of their revenue to the platform operators, not the other way around, I'd pay. This model where the platform o

    I don't think I'm alone in reading "they ** up" as "they fucked up" in my head, without meaning to. So whoever would be offended, is still offended, only now they can't complain about it since the person t

    I think that was his point; it doesn't, and instead implies that the writer is hypocritical ("I'm going to swear, but I won't actually swear").
