See my comment to your parent. I don't think it's about getting more views, when talking about a transition from city to country. In the second paragraph: "They had been ruminating for years, however, about leaving Toronto fo

The headline is "Toronto family ditches the city for old school fixer-upper in country" (at least in the <title>) and the tagline says "the obstacles they overcame in moving to the country." It seems quite clearly

I think some schools are adopting new models, but when I graduated from high school <10 years ago, all but a handful of classes were two semesters long (i.e., autumn and spring would be the same class) and all classes met 5 days a week f

I actually had a clerk at a local county court tell me they have to refuse checks if the number was less than 500 (and they already didn't take cards without a 5% fee). Thankfully, I had just ordered new checks and had number 501.

It's interesting that it describes Silicon Valley as being too white, when it seems like there are quite a few Asians. Even working elsewhere, a high percentage of our programmers are Asian, higher than the metro's demographics wo

Since there are various systems which use the Linux kernel without the GNU userland, it can make GNU/Linux more important as a term, in contrast to Android and others. Although I have wondered if OS like Maemo, which use Busybox instea

It's just salt and glutamic acid (naturally occurring in mushrooms, tomatoes, etc), and it immediately dissolves to each of those components in water. Usually the problem isn't with MSG but with too much salt at places that also a

I'm not sure how true it is even from a marketing perspective. 36 year olds tend to be parents (anywhere from newborns to teenagers), whereas 20 year olds tend to be in college or living at home.

Exactly. I work as a developer for a company that could broadly be described as retail, so our company portal has articles targeted to individual locations. I see titles like "Should you hire millenials?" and wonder how they could

Yes, my company is constantly talking about millennials as a group. I feel like way too much is ascribed to my being in the 20-36 year old age group.

CM is based on OSS code largely developed by Google, yes. But if you avoid Google apps you're sort of ditching Google. Google is one of the biggest contributors to Linux and also contributes to Mozilla in various ways, for example. You
