"I work at a nonprofit" "I worked on my yard today" Your definition is arbitrary and goes against the established use of the word. Work can be many things. When people say they don't want to stop working, they are j

Chili's solved it... I don't like the restaurant too much but their payment experience rocks. There is a payment gadget at the table, so you use that to pay and simply walk away without talking to the waiter.

I'm not religious either, but was educated in a Jesuit school. He brought a well needed breath of fresh air to the church. He was a pope for our times. Let's see if the church will be able to make another strong selection to repla

Microsoft was one of the first companies who fully internalized the importance of seamless backwards compatibility. The lessons had been around for a while, such as the fate of the 1200XL. They would have done a lot better, even at a higher

Good riddance. I'd rather have fewer things I care more about. If we rethink our consumption, we could become happier, need less space and spend less money even at higher prices. And when we do need to buy things, we'll be either

I have an embarrassing confession to make. I absolutely hate Monty Python and don't find them funny almost at all. The jokes are childish, obscure and lazy from my Gen X point of view. People have told me "you need to like British

Because we wouldn't be talking about it if it had been for no reason. The government is leveraging cases it knows it will likely lose for the publicity. I'm sure they believe that the publicity will discourage further anti-Semitis

Gemini Pro 2.5 is fantastic. I'm anti Google and a long time ChatGPT user. I use it for text review and research and it's well ahead the competition. Let's see how long they last giving it for free.

For me, a dead end after 10 hours of playing feels like frustration. I don't like starting games I can't finish, especially if I rage quit. It stays with me as a painful memory, the opposite of entertainment.

This. In office-heavy companies, the "remote guy" is one people talk about in every performance review. "They are remote, are they delivering enough value?" With all the bad news we've been hearing in the past year,

Hot take: workplace and social media April Fools jokes aren't funny and are often inappropriate and disrespectful to people's time. It's cool to do these to your friends in High school, but I once wasted a good amount of time
