My plumber prefers copper pipes. He's replaced a couple of leaks (in PVC pipes) with copper at core junctions in my house. I never knew it was dangerous.

While as a product owner I'm not primarily a people leader (although I do) I got a significant pay bump switching from a lead engineer to a product owner at my company.

I was playing around with Windows 95 in a VM a few years ago (I think 2020 when we all felt we had too much time on our hands). I was curious how modern of a web browser I could get and I found RetroZilla: https://rn10950.github.

I use these all the time. Looks like the article has some hacks to use vim style on macOS but I'm happy using Emacs-ish keybindings by default in Bash and macOS.

Eligibility for credit unions tend to be regional, but you're right you can almost always keep your old account once you have it.

Over a decade ago (I think around ~2010) when I was in high school I had an English teacher who required Times New Roman for a paper. I got marked off because while I had installed Times New Roman, I had a word processor which had silently

I definitely agree with un-bundling for the best services over all. The problem with credit unions are most are regional (though some are not). I have the best CU in my area which is fine, but it doesn't have a competitive credit card

We have a pet tortoise that we use incandescent flood bulbs to heat and provide light. The only consistent place we can find them is at a small mom and pop hardware store (similar to the reference in the article). I just checked our supply

I'm guessing you were at Kubecon as well. It was my first time in Detroit and overall thought the city was much nicer than expected. But to be fair, I mostly was just downtown during the day and we ended up staying in a suburb (Royal O

It's not just a red states versus blue states issue. New Mexico is squarely in the bottom and solid democratic at this point for example.

Maybe not "GNU" enough for them but I'm writing this on a Lenovo Thinkpad Carbon X1 I bought pre-installed with Fedora. I have also bought a Dell laptop with Ubuntu.

We use Google Groups for a non-profit I'm involved with and it works well. Not sure on a replacement that will work well for us yet.

I work for a very well known retail brand and we've negotiated our average interchange fee to under 2%. I believe it is around 1.7% currently but it's been lower in the past.

I haven't spent a lot of time in Seattle so I can't comment there, but in my experience urban supermarkets are more likely to have a parking lot underneath the building or in general have less parking than a suburban supermarket.

You can use uBlock Origin on Firefox for Android. The biggest feature I miss when I switched to iOS, although I've found Orion beta also has this feature and is decent.

This describes me pretty well. I started programming when I was very young. I did programming classes in high school. Then in college I started with another major and switched, but quickly got through as many classes as possible to graduate

There are also plenty of 4 year institutions called "Colleges" here that are smaller too. Bowdoin College is a random example which even has a CS degree.

It doesn't use GNU at all which can break compatibility with a lot of software but is no big deal if the packages are available.

I don't love having an Engineer title but it's the reality of the workplace in the US at least. Software Engineer and related are very, very common. Now even some colleges and universities have degrees in Software Engineering.

Different segment, but I've considered getting a Mitsubishi Mirage as they are quite simple and about the cheapest new car you can get in the US. My wife already drives a subcompact (Honda Fit) that we have been quite happy with.

I love the sourness and the texture. Too many popular apples are just "mealy" texture. I've tried some of the other tart or sour apples and they are just not as good.

Does the Walgreens partnership not count because it was more of a public trial but not production?
